That's not to say you can't go wfp cheaply though.

It can be very cheap If you go second hand and d.iy or you can spend thousands.

I reckon my van mount only cost me about 200 quid! plus an r.o, di vessel, 22ft pole and a homemade trolley maybe 600-700 all in.

I wouldn't scrimp on the pole though, I wouldn't want anything heavier than my slx

if you have a van, around £500 . youtube videos, help on here, you certainly cant climb ladders, you will need to advertise for a helper as i did, advertise on the indeed site, no charge.

Saw a fellow in Leicester 3 years ago working WFP from a Volvo estate.

He removed the spare from the wheel well and had the battery and pump in there, managed a 200L tank on top. Drilled hole in wheel well to run hose to ports on rear bumper. Set up worked very well indeed
