I had a demo when I was up in Gateshead, very easy to work on very compact, no messing around cleaned some block paving with it also.

He's getting a 15hp with 2500psi version in next year but I personally think it's a bit pricy when you could get a 18hp woodbridge 2500psi for slightly cheaper BUT remember you won't get that out of the van in a hurry!

But I'm sure John won't take offence from me pointing that out, he's a good honest bloke and I think you'd get good customer service of him and that is what counts!

Nick Hootsman theres a moose loose about his hoose has got one.

i also think that john is one of the good guys and is very genuine with no hidden agendas . i know of one guy near me who has bought the prowler and is extremely happy with it. the customer service is second to none and what i like about john is he will say things as they are. when he tested the water with nemesis he not only printed the good revues but he had the decency to print what people did not like about it also. this shows to me the  good qualities we all look for in a supplier. no bull . i have heard a lot of bad press for the prowler from rival companies but NEVER from a man who has bought one .

If I was stating in this business, this is probably the machine I would choose.

I have brought one and i am very pleased with it ;D The main reason for me is for flood work, here in London and Surrey you cant allways park your van close to the job so if you have a TM you may have to get your porty out, which is ok on a domestic job but on flood work you could be emptying it 20 times and the flood extraction would just take ages!!
Thats why it is idel for me.
Its a good powerfull machine and runs like clockwork if you have a medium sized van and live in a built up area and get the odd bit of flood extraction work its the one for you!  also you dont have to take your van off the road for the day losing money to have the TM repaired, you just roll it off roll on the porty and go back to work :D

Nick

Do you have a pic of your layout? I wouldn't want to go any bigger than that size van if at all possible, but that setup sounds spot on.

Just need the £££
