i recommend that you dont get a backpack just go for van mount if budget doesn't allow you to i would maybe save up or borrow anything but get a packpac

if you start off with a back pack, and then build up the money through working with the backpack to buy a van mount system the backpack will still be a very good tool to have, i use a van mount and my missus uses the windowcleaning warehouse backpack strapped to a foldable trolly, we work like this all day and isw a very viable way to work

what do you lads do if you have to climb over a garage roof to access the backs,just drag hose over or use backpack?,and wont your hose wear through quite quick dragging it over felt roofs,i have quite a few like this on my compact work

my work is all domestic i hated dragging hose everywhere
it drove me potty im far happier with backpack if you find
after you have bought backpack you want to switch to van

just take out pump buy tank and away you go well as long
as you dont buy the crap that shurflo sell,their 40psi
pumps arent good enough.

hewitts pumps and other in packs are 70psi and above

you will be a wizzard with the hose in no time,its better carrying 300liters + then 20 liters at a time i took a trolly first lasted me 2 weeks before i chucked it in the bin.
