Cheers noddy, like you say photos alway explain better than words unless you are Spruce lol

Thought the reels would be facing that way thanks for the photo.

Shame I only have the compact 325 which is single hose plus my signwritting is where the holes would be needed.

Next year I intended to get a large payload van 2 man system and intend to do the same as yourself now I have seen yours.

What's vans are you using.

 

[Hawke]

Great idea, shame I can't as I lease vans

Can you make any alterations with a leased van?

Yeah, but somethings are unacceptable.

They give you a booklet.

Cheers for the info do you fit your own systems or have them installed, if installed are they done locally? Another question lol.

What kind of things do they allow? Van ports? Bolting frames? Hoses through the floor etc? Really curious, soz!

Yeah you can do all that, just check as some will charge you for the holes in the van once you return it. Some will let you put new ply on it and that's fine.

Hi Spruce, Yes I considered that but I am very short of space inside unfortunately so that option is unlikely.

Space is a problem and spare wheels do take up a lot of space I must admit.

Just remember when using rollers a little tip is to use a little bit grease and a bit oil once a week that way your hose will just glide threw rollers and not drag on hose

Best stuff to use is GT85. Grease and lubricates at the same time. 

Grippa recomended it to me when my rollers were fitted
