Just cram it in as best as you can!

What you getting Steve?  is it to replace yours or as an additional?

I thought you had just spent a fortune on getting yours "wrapped"

I have a spitfire 3.2 in a transit connect. Its def crammed in but i do lots of work in places where parking and access is awkward. Some cleaners are amazed that i actually had it fitted in :). i dont have a hose reel but carry 200ft of hoses and two wands chemicals etc.
I'll try and post some photos up.

When we are cleaning clubs i have a normal transsit with a promount 20 in and hose reel and larger water tanks

That's the reason for the change parking and access is getting more difficult.Getting a vw transporter so not as small as connect.

Is this van not smaller than a SWB transit if so IMO its a bit too small for a TM and all the bits esp if you need the TM, the portable and the rotary system all in one day as does happen.

What you forget the prowler is a lot smaller than a full sized t/m plus it can be de-canted quite easily if need be.

Steve why not put the clean water tank at teh back of the prowler, I'm sure your hose pipe would reach that far and it would save you a side on your van to put racking?

Thought about that waiting to get van to measure distance from bulkhead to wheel arch to see if there is going to be enough room for the tank and what size will fit.

The 'car' at the bottom is fantastic! it looks as though it could fall back at any moment.

I wonder if he did the figure work for axle loadings, must affect the steering, although it dont look bad at the back.
