This works quite well two fixed reels and I can have up to an extra three freestanding reels run from three pumps

Should have said I have a roller system in the floor so van can be locked if needed , don't have any problems with hoses getting tangled , but isn't the best system if you want to take 100 meters of hose in front of the van , I switch between fixed reels and freestanding depending what I'me doing , fixed reels are very good for large commercial premessis , no bending over to reel in or lifting up heavy hose reels

Nice van and set-up

its the roller system setup im thinking of.
how do you store the pole back in van, with the rollers, you dont unhook reel from pole hose to close van doors. do you reflexions.
i think ill get sick of filling backpack up all the time.
ive took to leaving pump on while travelling to jobs with reel hose fixed into backpack to fill up.
not the best option, waiting for it to slip off and water all over the van floor

would you need to get a garage to fit these rollers into van flooring, what price would i be looking at

I fitted the hose reels and roller system (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1470177260_image.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1470177249_image.jpeg)myself will take some pictures and post tomorrow if you like I disconnect the pole when I put it away and connect the pole hose to a hose that returnes the water to the tank as I use hot water most of the time , this keeps the water hot and stops the boiler cutting out

your making us all jealous now, ;) :D.
where did you get the rolling system.

I bought the orange fair lead roller under the bumper on eBay about £30 the blue rollers of Grippatank about £20 each I think fitting the blue ones in the van floor is easy just measure up and re cheak your measurements before you cut it out I used a hole saw and it fitted perfectly , the mounting bracket for the fair lead the orange roller Grippatank made up a stainless steel brack(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1470260669_image.jpg) system they did an excellent job of it at a very reasonable price . Hears a couple more pics
