Aaron, you may not need all that purifying equipment. First of all you need to find out how hard/soft you water actually is, then you can decide what equipment to buy.

Agree with Gav. Get as big a tank as you can fit in your van.

Give Joe & Andy a ring and they will sort you out - they are good guys.

Im in agreement about the tank. 250L isnt much water to carry. 1st cleans take longer and use more water, so you will be heading home to fill up.

Buy a tds meter and find out what your water TDS is, you may need an RO or you could di on demand


Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Have you thought about starting out with a trolley system? This could be used from an estate car, which might mean you don't have to buy a van to start with.
