Interested to see how you stick it to the floor. Fair bit of top heavy weight there.

I already have a DIY stacker reel now which it screwed through the van floor, it's never fallen over.

It's from pure freedom, I'm not sure of the price as the fitted the booms FOC because the were supposed to be finished a year ago so they kindly fitted them for free, but the basic stacker reel is about £250.

The booms come out with a reach of 57cm, I don't know how much that will clean standard van doors, but my van has a tailgate, do it will work perfectly.

Ahhh, I see now the 'guiding' bits at the front. Does each reel hold 100m of microbore?

I'm pretty sure there will be an option for the single reel, I've seen a picture on here somewhere of an older version fitted to a single reel.

If I manage to get it installed the weekend I will let you know Monday how I get on

I had there first reels a couple years ago had a nightmare with them looks like they got bearings on them finally as they would be so stiff to wind in hopefully they solved that problem.
