I did, mate, but it was a hefty question with many pros and cons.

My advise is, if you're going to work from a car, don't go for a trolley (if anyone disagrees with me; please state your case; I won't argue), get a backpack and do 'tops only' mostly.

At first you'll use loads of water; say 200 liters a day; because you end up rinsing two, three or four times due to your inexeperience.

After a few months you'll find 100 litres a day (four barrells) will see you through a heavy day's work.

The backpack is suited to guys who want to work from a car and you're not filling it up all the time; and when you do it's quick to do.

There's a knack to the backpack though; and even after using it for nearly a year; I'm still finding better methods during my working day.

But, if you've got the money, get a van-mounted system and supplement it with a backpack for those hard to reach areas.

Hi  Tosh

Cheers for the reply.

It look like I will be going for the Shurflo Backpack or  Shurflo Backpack Starter Kit.

Thank for your help.
