I have got a trolley and pole and been working for a few months. Now got a van, how can i set it up on a budget? Good but cheap equipment, tank hose pump etc

Swap the gubbins from your trolley into your van. All you'll need then is 100m of hose, a reel, a tank, a leisure battery and a few connections.

A mate of mine bought a cheap 100psi pump off ebay, he swears by it. I've only used shurflo.

Good but cheap equipment,

If you got a budget for a Fiat that's what you'll get. You aint gonna get a Ferrari on Fiat money.

You've heard the old addage..... buy cheap buy twice.....

It's never that easy to do a van mount on a tight budget,Personally if you are not that diy savvy then you are best of buying a pumpbox form the likes of thecleaningwarehouse.co.uk it has everything in and ready to except a battery, I have a streamline pumpbox which i bought almost 6 years ago and it was around £460 at the time.

Then buy a tank 400ltrs is a minimum IMHO if you plan on working 4-5 days a week, You can buy a cheap lightweight reel but in all honesty longterm they don't last, As Green Pro implied better off spending a bit extra as you won't be paying twice as the cheaper stuff always needs replacing.
