I agree, and it's one of the reasons I say that investment allways pays.

I've just reached a bit of a milestone- my 300th customer- but i bought my van when I only had thirty customers and my wife thought I was potty. Before that I had a trailer and I hated it. I knew that if I was going to make a success of this I needed all the help I could get.

You know me Clive? I'm just the opposite I love my Trailer and hate Vans but its what your happy with, that counts.

Michelle my daughter has just got her van and I have spent the past couple of days cleaning it up for her, Now she's in love with her Expert van and just can't wait for me to install all my gear into it, its thanks to all you guy's on here that I will be protectakoting it before the install goes ahead, I'm building her a cage for the tank and because its only a 250ltr tank, I will be building a seperate cage for water containers so they don't become scud missiles in her van.

I'm very glad Missy has got a van because she too needs every advantage she can get, and I think in a years time your opinion will have changed too.

Remember my trailer was 400l plus reel.I wasn't strong enough to pull it up even a slight incline.

In the van I found the 400l wasn't enough, I had to call back to refill, so now it's a 650. Yes I am heavy on water, partly because i have a hot system (they only work with a high flow), but this also lets me work fast.

I don't have a di on the van, and the reel is mounted on top of the tank, exiting the drivers side door.

Michelle has learnt over the past several months to get the correct control flow of water, we have both said she will need a bigger tank in the future but for the time being if she needs extra water, she can take some water drums with her.

Now being very safety orientated towards my daughter's safety, I'm welding her up a cage not only for the tank but after reading a topic tonight regarding water drums, I will also be welding her up another cage to carry water drums in if she needs it, So you have all seen it from me, am I going to be the first to create a metal cage for carrying water drums in????

But one thing I do know is she is chuffed to anything she has a nice looking van.

Jeff,

why dont you build her a cage for a 400 litre tank instead of two cages.

She only has a 250ltr tank at the moment so I'll build the cage to fit and when she does get a larger tank I'll build her another one to fit that. and then there will be a cage for a 250ltr tank for sale at rock bottom price Lol
