red hat diving gets good reviews of his gear.

As for the system cost, a tank & fixing + hose reel is all you'd really need, you can just plug the trolley into it and start working. £400 should cover it.

Just remember that the tank needs to be properly secured to the van chassis, not just the floor. There were a couple of ideas posted a while back about securing a 50mm x50mm box section in front of the tank & one behind it and then using some 20 tonne ratchet straps over the tank. It sounded like a very simple but effective solution if done properly, and very cheap to do also.

trolley is very good,xline one
but lots of my work,i would find easier with a van system.
and just a backpack for terraced houses etc,i have all the kit to put trolley in my van as a van set up but just not sure whether too.

 Couldn`t you leave your trolley in the van, plug hose reel into it and use as van mount. And use it as a trolley, instead of backpack, on terraced.
