Backpacks seem the way to go but read so many things on here about problems with switches and pumps so building my own using van mounted pump and an old backpack from machine mart so if there is a prob I can sort it myself and source parts locally ( exept pump)Hope to have finished by Tuesday then mounting on trolly from Lidls

I have used a backpack for 2 years and will continue to use it. However, I am using it less than I did. If I have a run of windows where I can sit it on the ground with an extension in it's great. Where I have to go into a lot of gardens with gates, washing lines etc it's not so great. It's heavy at the end of the day and hanks on everything going. . I am using ladders more again because of this. If I have a window that's dangerous, I use the backpack. Once you know you round, it can be quicker to trad that fight all the obstacles and fill a backpack every 15 mins or so.
