At the moment I've got a manifold cut into the side which I don't want to do with a brand new van.just wondering if anyone else had the same van and if they bring the inlet and outlet connections out from the floor? Are your tanks bolted through the floor as well? Cheers guys

no my tank is not bolted through the floor.its bolted down to the eyelets holes with angle iron so its easy to remove the tank if needed.

Post by: Duncan Horlock on July 26, 2017, 07:29:57 pm: Brilliant cheers guys👍Good to know you both like the van as on paper it seems perfect. I like the idea of using the tie down eyes. I like the thought of not lifting the reels out but I really need to lock the van if you know what I mean 😬

its miles better to have a fixed reel in the van mate.its easier.you can still lock the main cab and side door with a back door open.

Do you have a little photo of these irons attached to the eyelets please. Might be the way i go in future.

Post by: robbo333 on July 26, 2017, 08:09:06 pm: I use pole hose on my main reel. One of the benefits is, I could shut and lock the rear doors on my old connect without shutting off the water flow. May help you.
