should hopefully be getting equipment in the next wek or so delivered and want to see how you all have it installed.

Mine's looking a bit of a mess at the mo,.. I'm doing a re-fit with some new gear at the weekend,... so I'll post a pic next week when its looking pretty again!

[JSMC]

anyone else?

[alanwilson]

if I had a digital camera then I'd post some pics of our vans - someone might recognise them too!!

now this is a thread I cant miss

[JSMC]

seems loads have missed it already as i had to dig it out from pg3 of the board

[L.J.Thorpe]

i take it you had yours fitted then

[L.J.Thorpe]

simple enough question

[matt]

he is out in the bentley drivinbg around council estates waving a wad of money around shouting out of the window " look at me, ive loadsamoney, look at my wad "

[TennetClean]

LOL thorpe cant wait for me to reply i see.  I have other things to do besides sit and constantly watch a forum.  But I do understand that it gets boring here without me to liven it up though.  After all, without me here a casual observer would think that cobble togethers are the norm, and we cant have that now can we.

Yes my system is fitted, not a diy job.  Someone I know used to fit them, he is a mechanical engineer by trade who has his own engineering company.  Very professional job, which I did not mind paying for.  He no longer fits systems, too smalltime.

However, I am after a new system very soon.  Have to admit, all this talk of hot water has got me wanting that.  I dont like the idea of the gas bottle though, but I suppose its the same as what caravaners do.  Ho hum.

Matt, glad to see you back.  How's life old mucker?

I would describe this as Threadbare

I do sometimes think it is a shame that so many read and don't contribute

It's like it's ok to take and not give because nobodys looking

yes or no would have been more than sufficient

im not being picky here, BUT you had your tank fitted by a engineering guy, this is just the same as some1 going to a metal fabricator / engineering place and having them make a frame to fit around the tank and bolt to the van OR the same place fitting brackets to the van chasis to fit ratchet straps to

you then fit the van out with your pump etc etc

isnt that just a little DIY-ish

Matt, glad to see you back.  How's life old mucker?

after a bad start to my week with my dropped battery on my drive, things picked up, i did a good 3 days work and picked up a nice little earner, not a bad week tbh

[TennetClean]

Sure, but you know me better than that.

PLUS you built up the anticipation so much, I felt I had to provide detail

No it isnt.  I didnt "have a tank fitted by an engineering guy"

I had a system constructed by an engineering firm, that happened to be owned by an "engineering guy" who I know.

Ratchet straps LOL now THAT is diy.

I read about that, nasty.  Started to melt the tarmac or something.

I reckon window cleaning has its ups and downs like anything, but on the whole it is really great

oh i see, so they fitted the tank then fitted a pump / pump controller and di canister to the van aswell , system designers, they are a clever bunch eh, must be university educated 

[Captain Scarlet]

I struggle to understand why people are mocked for using their own initiative or skill, my system was fitted but I could have DIY'd it. Yes sometimes a DIY system doesnt look as nice and some people bodge it, but there are those that do it well, Luke

[TennetClean]

LOL matt, no way could my system ever be even close to being considered to be diy.

He isnt a system designer he is an engineer who designed this system for me.

Most of the work they did was in the design and construction of the frame.  In hindsight it actually cost about the same as a top brand system, so next time I'll just buy one off the shelf rather than get it bespoke.

Plus, hot water.... mmm

luke, watch it, "they" will see you as sideing with the "cobblers" and will then have to remark on every post you make
