Title: hose out of back and side
Post by: Michael Peterson on September 19, 2014, 08:12:13 pm
I see a lot of two man vans with hoses both coming out of the back, we have one out of the side and oone out of the back and pull up to the house sideways on, safety cone on the path, is there any advantages on both hoses coming out of the back doors that I am no seeing? im just about to kit out another van

I think that's called colonic irrigation  ???

All our vans are set up with both reels coming out the rear doors, I looked into options of using side door but it takes up too much space and more messy to set-up. Our tanks are sited in the middle, not behind the bulkhead. If this was the case then maybe that would allow a side exit hose.

To me a side exit also limits your options when doing several cleans in one road or larger cleans but this is only by perception and I don't think either is right or wrong, just what suits your working style and round

This was my set up a few years back , either hose could do back or side , it was a joy to work with

I lift mine out and they can point in any direction.

How cool is that?
