first day with a van mount and what a waste of money spent all my time pulling hose around im totally fed up. 
plus a trolley is safer h&s wise as their isn't hose trailing over paths ect 

think im going to sell the system and my 25 ltr trolley and get a 50 ltr trolley instead.

the only new item i like was my slx25  nice piece of kit

Give it time mate!!

you will get the hang of trailing the hose about in time

[Ste M]

yes i think everyone on the first few days would of said the exact same thing. wont be long till you get the hang of it though and you'll wonder how you got by without one for so long

[easy clean]

Good luck! Do you enjoy lifting containers in and out of your van all day then?

[Ross G]

Definately don't be to hasty give it time , once it becomes normal working practice you'll look back on that post and say what a bell end i was life now is sooo good. If you're out and it's getting you down  have a wee session on the back pack( you do have one don't you ?) then get back to it again.
All the best

Not even enough time to get dog crap on your hose!  
Van mount is not for everyone but give it a chance and im sure you will get used to it.
In 99% of cases I find its the only way to work

I don't even think about my hose any more, you will soon get the hang of it.

like everyone says, give it a go. once you get used to it I'm sure you'll find it easier. you will also find better and more efficient ways of messing around with reels etc too.

Give it time, I used a trolly for 3 years and couldnt go back to humping that and 25 L cans out all the time.

You will get to grips with it mate. The fact that the weather is getting colder isn't helping as the hose gets stiff. Keep trying you'll love it come spring.

Felt like setting my van alight a few times in the early weeks  .
It gets easier to manage the hoses though.
Give it time.  You'll be OK.
BTW.  Are you using micro or mini-bore hose.  It's much easier to handle than the half inch stuff.  Also, make sure that you have the type of hose that doesn't kink and does lay flat.  Smaller bore hose doesn't get stuck on the axles of wheelie bins either

My first day with the van I pulled out about 50 metres of hose then went cleaning, what a mess!!

Three years later I have perfected where to park for what house, which gates to open first, which house I can sling the pole over the fence to stop pulling it around un-needed etc...

Trust me, when you're cleaning a dozen houses with one stop of the van and all the water you need to do so you'll thank us.

Plan, practice and anticipate.

i think i have calmed down a bit now i will give it till the new year with the van mount. i think i need an aquadapter for my pole and fix the reel in the van 

[PURER CLEAN]

ive got my 500lt tank + 40.40 system in my shed, its fully lagged out with a heater in there just in case 
i use a trans pump to fill 12 25lt tubs that i have in my van.
from start to finish it only takes about 15 mins tops to fill the tubs 
And i think the Trolley T35.  35 litre capacity trolley is the best, does penty of window on just 1 fill,
& i only have to charge it once a week  HAPPY DAYS

ye will get the hang of it mate. once ye get by snagging on everything you will enjoy using a van mount drag the hose to the furthest working point and work yer way back.

Hi i use a backpack but also do some trad aswell,a van mount wouldn't be great for me as i use different vehiles, but i may well invest in a trolley if my round gets bigger.Theres one thing that has baffled me i have a shurflo backpack and when it full it's heavy is there anyone who can actally carry it on there back?.I just carry it around thats why a trolley would make things alot easier.
