Thanks for the reply,  does that include the towbar,  and what is the difference between single, and double electrics ?

Sorry for the thick questions  ;D

Yeah inclusive of bar and elects. I think twin may be more actually.
Twin is usually for caravans,etc where you need to charge a battery on what you're towing. The single elec is for powering just the lights on the trailer.

Thanks for the replies lads, can't wait to get it done, my back has been taking a hammering from loading the 6.5 kv genny !

Only need it when we are doing both pressure washing, and gutter cleaning jobs together, as there isn't enough room in van for all the gear.

Going to have a small trailer to hold the genny , vacuum, hose.  should of done this before  ;D

I know what you mean.
I rarely use the big generator as its so big and awkward to get in and out along with the vac, hoses and poles.

The gutter vac wasn't a great investment though in my opinion. I mean, I have some regular commercial contracts which make it worth keeping it, but its not something that's going to me rich!
