They're not on offer now, sadly. They seem to pop up second hand from time to time though, both on here and on ebay. I got mine from someone on here for £100 -  needs a coat of paint and it's as new. Keep your eye out and something will come up.

You'd be pushing it operating an Excell from the van. Its twin vac and only has a 100 psi pump. Might cope with lounge and hall but will struggle any further.

Forget it your vans too small.  Buy some hose bags they hold 50ft each.

And take your extracter nearer the house youll get better results.

i agree. 4 hose bags would be half the size of the reel alone.
