Hi Mate,

Love the way you keep winding us BPers up ;D ;D

Where are you based? I'm in Lincs 15 miles south of Grimsby

I'd love to see if Van mount or Backpack is better on Houses??

How about a challenge:

My Backpack setup - your van mount.  A street of houses simular.
Set of.  See who is easier?

I`d love that challenge on most of my work,do you know how many windows you can clean in the time it takes you to refill your backpack,your trying to compare a vanmount with backpack down a row of terrace houses and even then the vanmount would win on the fronts.

Well groundhog. I am in hampshire and a backpacker. I am not going to do your work though. Needs different types and then we would see.

Example. For a large commercial I too would use the truckmount but for 90% of my domestic I use the backpack.

I'm not trying to be clever and think that ME and MY Backpack can wash you Vanmounts away ;D

Although, on varied domestics, I think I could ???

I just wanted to compare the 2 systems....................................
In fact why not add in a trolley system? :D

At a trade show would be good.  It may give us and newcomers an idea of the pros and cons of each system.

Bear in mind I have my Backpack set up on a rack so I can fill up and put it on quick and easy.  A turn round time from window to window of, on average 3 minutes.
Thats 1 minute to get back to trailer.
15 secs to drop of backpack.
30 secs to fill
15 secs to put backpack on
and 1 minute to return to job.

Note, this is average. The travel times may vary but I have sorted my round so as to reduce to a minimum.

Dave I would love to take you on ( maybe love is the wrong word) 3 min is a long time. Less than 1 min  is what I aim for in practice for a refil. How about me and you have  a backpack competittion between ourselves to make the others blush.
But I  may be a weakling, I only carry and use 10 litres so maybe not up to your standards.  ;)
I carry mine round in a suitcase so anyone up to it at Windex or a suitable street ?

Ha ha! ;D I know you don't mean it really Tony!! I won't hold it against you that you are a Scummer! I have to be careful what I say as my sister has recently moved to Scum, and I may have to visit her sometime!  ;)

First of all ground hog i would like to make a comment about back pack V’s  van mount,
I have both but my preferred method is my van mount, the reason for this being is unlike TonyG  i do not have the physic to carry a load on my back, (Tony does he’s a big lad) i only use it on jobs that have access issues. I’m not getting into a war about which system is better as each individual will prefer his/her own personal method and at the end of the day they both do the job they are designed for.

PS
 Tony is not a scummer as you have stated, on the contrary, he’s a really nice guy.
