You won't get a reply Ian. The professional power washer looks down on the window cleaner in the same way the window cleaner looks down on the bin cleaner. Think two r o n n I e s and John c l e e s e.  :)
Sorry, got to use spaces when on the kindle, it changes spellings of words it doesn't like.
Any van will do, the guys use all sorts, transits, vauxhall Tec, as long as it's reliable, fits all your stuff in.

Tom,
Think we have spoken on the phone before, might be wrong? If we did think I would have helped you re trailer set-up?

I unlike most it would seem use a pressure washer for pressure washing - the van is used merely for transport  ;D

I have a lwb high top transit - jetter in the back and tow van behind until I finish my new trailer.

 :) Roger, yes it was me. You gave me a lot of good advice. I was tongue in cheek about the class thing. It started when a bin cleaner came on the window cleaning section and I told him to start his own forum. I only know the one joke and trot it out at every opportunity.

Nah, your a pretty good bunch really. All joking aside, it's the great thing about forums like this. The willingness to help others, especially the simple ones like what I am.

Hi you want to go on the cc forum if you think pw is bad. They won't talk to you until you have done 600 in training joined the NCCA and brought a 30k truck mount. ; ;D

At least these guys are all helpful.

I am changing from a vivaro to a big transit as well.

Cheers

John

I use a LWB vivaro.
Its ok, I can fit everything in, but I will probably get something bigger when its time to change. Although it is a handy height to get ladders on and off.
