My trolley is in the for sale section save your self over £400 then you can spend it on marketing which is the hardest part.  

Why is it for sale? Is it because you have had enough of lugging it about and have got yourself a van mount by any chance??

I rarely post on here much anymore,but i disagree with most of what's been put on this post. Someone once said to me to "buy the best that you can afford". i didn't and ended up buyin lots of cheap poles,trolleys etc etc. I think Daz is going the right thing(not so sure about the resin,unless he hasn't got a static) I binned my freedom trolley a couple of years ago....Wish i hadn't now. I'm van mount and back pack, but i do miss the trolley. It's a great toy to begin with. If i ever get another one, i will buy a ramp for the van though. It's an individual thing. you know your round better than anyone else. Only YOU know what's best. I know Daz has thought long and hard about his decisions and i'm sure he's doing the right thing. Good luck fella. You'll be fine ;-)

Please don't listen to this Daz... he's winding you up!!!!! A diy van mount will actually be cheaper than the trolley, it will save you a lot of aggro lugging about water in barrels etc, you will be able to get a lot more work done and earn more money... it really is a no brainer mate!!! As I said when I first went wfp I got a trolley and actually went back to trad after a couple of months because it is quicker and easier than messing about with a trolley!!!  

Sorry Groundhog.......I ainit winding him up and i totally disagree with ya. If ya work in a busy road with cars parked everywhere, then a van mount is not fit for purpose. It's a joke with hose getting caught on car tyre's posts etc. Like i said and it should be acknowledged............your chosen setup is a personal thing. Only you know what's best.x

I'm with Groundhog.  Trolleys are naff.  The Freedom trolley, even before you added water was a heavy ruddy thing to cart about.

Van mount plus backpack will see you alright.  Failing that start with a back pack and add a van mount later when you can.

Trolleys are a waste of money, IMHO.

Good point with the parking, pole 2 pole.

Absolute rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I was going to buy a trolley I'd go for the Omnipole one, www.omnipole.com/omnitrolley.htm as for the 20ft pole I use a 24ft fibre glass and it only just reaches some of my 2nd floor work and I struggle reaching over some conservatories. the 25ft Brodex hydra may be a better option and then knock up a Harris pole for ground and first floor.

no way trolleys are way better than vanmounts as you have best of both worlds. I use my freedom trolley as a van mound also its handy for awkward parking and access issues as would a backpack. Daz go for the 25 litre trolley. I have both and never even take the 50 one out.

Daz, that control pole valve seems awful pricey at £17.

This just about sums it up for me, you can't go wrong with a van mount.. and if you really have to then get a back pack for the odd job where it is awkward to get to with the hose, a trolley is a complete waste of money... most people who buy them end up using them as van mounts anyway, so you may as well get a proper van mount in the first place. Nuff said

first there was wfp v trad   and now we have van mount v trolley!!!!!

Ive got a van mount but after reading some of the opinions I could really use a trolley on some of my jobs!

[chopsie]

Them xtel are terrible,i have one i  used it once and then bought new poles!

Agreed, I got  a 17 foot xtel, Its awful, bendy floppy heavy thing, only use it for con roof cleans,but its crap

[cleewindows]

mines 22ft it weighs a ton bends all over the place when you lift it off the window you think isit going to snap.
 They have got to be the worst poles around!

Later I'll post some pics of what you need & the cost for a 400ltr van mount. It's easier & cheaper than you may think.

I happen to agree that you'll be better of with a van mount.

Trollies can be handy & do have their place but IMO not as your main, day in day out system.
