with around 15m you will be fine, you will not be working with that kind of machine from the van so there is nothing to worry about
what are you gettin with only 135psi?

Airflex Pro, twin vac/130psi pump on ebay with a best offer on it, looks like it includes all you'll need to get going, if cleansmart have looked after the machine they will have a full history. Great thing is you can upgrade to a Turbo or Storm or bigger pump later on using the same machine as you progress http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFLEX-CARPET-CLEANING-MACHINE-REDUCED-FOR-QUICK-SALE-/300914555710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item460fe7bb3e (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFLEX-CARPET-CLEANING-MACHINE-REDUCED-FOR-QUICK-SALE-/300914555710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item460fe7bb3e)

I use an Alltec express... this has a 150 psi pump and i regularly use 50' of 2".. works extremely well!
Same applies to my Enforcer...

So far this machine has allowed me to work in areas where i have restricted access, you don't end up compromising with an underpowered machine because of size.
Today my express cleaned a mid sized lounge, hall and bathroom with one tank, the heat it produces is enough to burn your hand on the end of a 50' quick connect.
Quality machine and very reasonably priced.
