Hello Gents,
If money was no object and you wanted to build the ultimate pressure washing 3.5t van, what would your build spec include?

Let me start....

1300 litre water tank.....
On board generator to power lights at night.....

What would be your ideal van set up Chris if you had out of hours commercial work to do?

Iveco dailey  5 tonner mwb semi high , registered as "plant" (no tacho, red diesel,cheap tax,no mot) .With heavy duty door runners! 205hp common rail. Maybe even with pto take off to drive pressure washer pump instead of pressure washer in van (200 nm of torque from the pto it will work a Hiab or a winch  it should spin a HP pump) . Maybe something like this http://www.allpressuresprayersdirect.co.uk/hwb-hydraulic-pump-units-for-pressure-washers

Why bother with a 3.5 t  if all you are doing is commercial?  5 tonners are cheaper ...nobody wants them.
It would all go in a 3.5 any way ..just the bowser would be a problem.

Might be wrong here but after 97 3.5tonne is what most can drive without sitting another test.

I can't drive 5 tonne on my license. I can tow a combined weight of 5.5 tonne. Over 3.5 tonne you are on tacho anyway!!

Stay up to 3.5 tonne!

It is a mine field and Vosa don't give you any real advice since they have been privatised! it will take me a little time but will research it for you so you are well educated when you apply for exemption.
Read these to start with.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/made
http://www.rha.uk.net/services/recovery/news/content/12311/hgv_mot_testing_exemptions  paragrah 6.4

Depends if it's my giro week..might not have the diesel money otherwise.

Why have they found a place big enough to accommodate Rhinoman and Reece's ego's?

I have received my free "signing up gift" which to be fair was quite interesting. I am always up for learning and I do feel i could benefit from attending. ..as i really dont have a clue how to run a business .
The people who are running it are top class and am fully conversant with their products and techniques...they have a lot to bring too the party So yes i will be attending.
Are you picking me up? i don,t think my van will make it that far!

Hello Chris,

Pie warmer and pink wellies, like your style. Never thought of a 5 tonner. I will be scanning Ebay & Autotrader later. Is 500 bar needed? Great machine but very expensive........only if I had the cash. ;D

I have a Hot & Mighty (imported by Roger - on here) upgraded to a 35LPM pump, twin outlet, two cox reels on a shelf, with 100 metre one inch hose underneath, by the back doors. 1400 litre tank between drivers cab & machine.

Exhausted both the burner & exhaust through the roof. It is just a pleasure to use.

Have looked at the H&M machines on Ebay, they do look very good. Have you got any pics of your van?
