They are great vans.

Smart van, mate. Hope to join the club in a few years when I've paid my back-dated tax, NI contributions, interest and council tax! >:(

I hope it also has some very short poles for the very young lady as afterall, you have to start them young.
Cheers

Ok I got ya. I have a family of 4 and dont want to spend out on 1 van and 1 car. As wifey dont drive (yet) :-\ I use an estate car. Its ok but in the summer it does always smell of scrim, and oh boy just leave a wet bit in the car overnight and you dont half know it the next day.

Really smart van Jay! Especially the logo's etc!
Have you got a pic of the ramp and trolley you use?
And is the water in a large tank or in containers?

here is the ramp, works on a drop piano hinge, you will note the square cut out this is designed to give me clear vision through the rear window, when the trolley goes up i have built a stopper to prevent the trolley from moving in transit, normally the (full) 25ltr water barrel is also on the trolley (at weekends i strip it all down for maintainance) with this set up there is no movement in the trolley whilst driving, to unload i just drop the ramp, wheel down the trolley, grap the pole and i'm up and running, i carry 4 x 25ltrs water barrels, hope this helps you.

Hi Jay
What do you mean by maintainance? Does this take long?
From what I can see you have certainly kitted it out well, looks real pro. I'm real envious.
You must be doing well for yourself, either that or you saved since you left school, you may have a rich aunt or the tooth fairy took all your teeth.

hi steveyboy, by maintainance i mean i strip down my poles spray with wd 40 plus electrical parts, clean filters etc, and clean all working parts, as for a rich aunt I WISH, i just work hard in 2 jobs, 1 window cleaning and 2 entertaining and both pay me well.

Hi Jay
Yup I also work 2 jobs but my other job is a couple of office cleans I run the contracts on. I do the cleans with the help of me misses. I have always worked 2 jobs as in the winter it can be hard on the windows, although not so much these days. I got to admit though that I would just like to do the windows. Now my boys are a bit older my misses will get a part time job, just enough to cover the office cleans so that we can let them go. There is no point in keeping them then because we would loose our tax credits.
