Dave, is the footprint of the prowler smaller than the panther?

Arthur,
I would not of thought so. The Panther is a very small machine compaired to many others considering they have a Rootes 45 blower.
From what I can see the advantage with the Prowler is you have the demountable facility along with the fact its runs without a wast water tank.
Maybe you could fit the fresh water tank behind the machince in place of a wast tank? This would free up a lot of valueble space.
John Kelly is the best guy to speak to about these machines as yet I have not had the pleasure of one yet.

Hi

And no water tank.

Dave

PS That one has a Kohler engine. i've also seen Honda engined ones.

Which would you say is better.

My pic shows the prowler + blazer + tanks in the same van.These pics are of Mr Kings van starting to get put together

I know i've asked this before,  but is there any chance it would be possible to set up the prowler  or panther in the back of a hilux surf???

I'm really loathed to get rid of it but all the same need to upgrade to a truckmount ::)


regards
steve

P.S.  -  it's quite amazing how space there is in the back when you know where to put it ;D

Steve as I've said before not really practical because no matter how careful you are there are always spillages. This would soon have your truck smelling like a wet camel.

I fear it already does :'(

Seriously i know what you're saying, it's just that it's very well known around town and has never let me down, but i guess it's time to go bigger.

As i've got my options open, what would be the best setup van/machine wise , busy times i'm doing about 25 jobs a week, the poor extracta can keep up!

I know i'm sticking my neck out here, but what really is the ideal van for a truck mount, medium size,  I don't want anything that is going to be awkward to park, but am seriously going for a new vehicle. 8)

comments???

going to put a prowler into a new  VW caddy next week just to see if it fits, will let you know, we also have to have  small van for parking also so might be of interest.
