van layout
« on: April 16, 2012, 09:10:17 pm »
I always forget to ask this question!

Ive jst purchased a 1999 merc vito cdi and have the 2 sliding doors on the side which is good for access but my wands n pipe for dirty water cant go on brackets.

I just though id see if (seeing as most ppl on here have been at it longer than me) would be be know from exsperience which is the most effective way of having things arranged.

I have hose bags
2 porty's (will have 2 sometimes)
sebo bs36
bonnet cleaner (maybe 2 if i get a cimex or a bonnet pro)
sebo duo
maybe 2 wands
turbo blower
chems

You have two friends on your side for this one.. trial and error :)

I wouldn't imagine any two carpet cleaning vans are the same, you just have to get creative and deck it out to your own personal needs ;)

Here is mine,just taken out the rack that was on the left,machine goes in front of the snail fan,and is held in place by a ratchet strap.Then the rotary when required is sort of strapped in front of the vac..

haven't got any pictures of my van but can offer some advice as to how i have laid it out. first thing we did was just literally dump it all in the back and find how and when we wanted certain things, what needs to be in first, out last etc. over time we've installed a rack, then something to hold the machine perfectly in place, then something for the vac etc and it's not the best van layout imaginable, honestly think i'd win awards for it. one thing to consider is make sure the electrics aren't under chemicals like mr acorn up above has. it's too easy for a product to leak and it'll be all over that dryer

Yeah suppose I could move that to the other side, so it's over the vac instead
