Can't believe no one has bought Paul King's Prowler..............what an opportunity.

[Neil Williams]

where is it advertised?

[Colin Day]

Why is he selling it?

[Robert Watson]

Get in there.
If I didn`t have one, I`d be on my way to Newcastle.
Great bit kit.

Ok own up....... who out bid me?  I put my hand down the couch and found £12 so put in my best bid

now its at £12.50

but with a new blower & engine its not a bad buy it now price

[AshWhite]

I couldn't find £12 in my wallet, let alone down the back of my couch!

You got too much money, Mike

[Shaun_Ashmore]

A water tank and a demand pump and you're away, I think what's holding people back is that it looks a bit worn but then again so does Paul wonder if he's got a new blower

I'll take that post back, it looks fantastic it must have been a previous picture that I saw.

Grab a bargain!

It's a lot more higher than that believe me

[Steve Gunn]

Why his original asking price was too much in my opinion

[Carpet Dawg]

How easy is the prowler to disconnect and remove from the van?? Being honest, would it be a pain to do it every night?

Also, how much diesel "per hour" does the Prowler burn?

Another also,

Whats a sensible water tank size that would a SWB transit take?? Would also want to carry an Airflex in the van.

And how much are demand pumps??

Tony

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Demand pump is a flow jet probably connected to your van battery get a spark to do it for you, water tank probably 400 litres, transit is a nice size but you won't have much room if you put in a porti don't forget you need 150ft of vac and solution hose, a petrol can plus all that you have now, I can't swing a small rodent in my van most of the time I'm moving things in and out of my garage to my van on a daily basis but I don't mind saying that I have a Jag which I occassionally put in and there's just enough room to put a cigarette paper in there also

Shaun

PS my van is slightly bigger than SWB transit, Fiat Ducato I had a SWB tranny before.

[John Kelly]

That one Pauls selling doesn't need a demand pump as the pump is low down and draws off the tank. The ones that do need demand pumps run off the machine battery. You wouldn't want to be taking it off the van every night, not feasable.
SWB Transit would have loads of room.

[robert meldrum]

There you go Tony just remember to put a little heater under the beast at night from now till...........April.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I may be wrong but I'm sure it's petrol, also I'm sure that Ian Rochester said approx 2.5 litres an hour on full revs (but that's from an old post yonks ago and my memory isn't that good) btw my TM Boxxer 427 runs on petrol £6 an hour on full revs so the Prowler is far cheaper to run.

Shaun

[Carpet Dawg]

Thanks for all the replys guys! Very tempted, something to think about!

Main reason for being able to take it out of van at nights is for frosty nights, so wouldn't be every night.

Cheers again

  I take my Prowler in and out of the van most days/weeks as i do a lot of travelling doing insurance jobs and don't need the extra weight in the van. Once you get used to it, it's easily done. Got mine in merc vito lwb but out the rear of the van. Only have a 250 litre tank run off a demand pump when water not available through a hose. Still enough room though to get the scorpion/thermadry in as well. Take some pics when i get time.

 Mark.

[davep]

Takes 1 man to take it off with ramps but 2 to push it back on

Only taken mine off a handful of times. During winter I wait until its all cooled down and then wrap a duvet around it, one on top, then put a fan heater in the back on the lowest setting.

[John Kelly]

2 to push it on........you need a few more shredded wheat down you.

[derek west]

whats the weight of it john?
