Is that shower caps you have over your brush heads?

I just use soil pipes attached to the inside roof of my van with thick cable ties for my poles. Works OK for me.

I had the idea patented so if you pm me, we can sought out my commission ?

I use different coloured hats

My father in law just started cleaning windows, and his boss has his vans kitted out in an interesting way that I've never seen before.

Basically he has built a low floor in the van, the tank sits on top, and the ladders just slide in underneath. The boss also has a few drawers and stuff in the floor of his van. Smart system.

I want my reel to be a bit higher, so want to build a small cabinet for it to stand on, and then add a drawer to the cabinet for all my trinkets. There is usually a lot of dead unused space above the reels.

Another idea I have is adding a sheet of plywood to the side of my tank and mount all my trad tools on it, so it's easily available through the side door. I have a square bucket with a lid that just fits in there.

Here’s another idea, mini chest of drawers on top of my tank. 

I keep my array of gloves etc in them ?

There is a basket type thing to the left of the drawers. It’s what the supermarkets have their bread delivered in. I keep a couple of raincoats in it.

Rarely use it. It’s used on polycarbonate roofs if there’s a particularly stubborn bit of cr*p needs scrubbing 

Aargh righteo, this is what I use this is my home made contraption that It works really well, an old ultimate flock brush bristles pulled out and Velcro stuck on the stock with a gardiner scrub pad.

TBH, it was H-man where I got the idea but without all the DIY lol

Handy place to store your bucket under your reel. 

Got to have an automatic reel or your shoulders will die.

Ive got wooden racking on both sides near the back doors for all the cloths, gloves etc then timber across the two to take the brushes with angled holders to keep them in place and the tank at the bulk head. Love it. Pond liner on the floor to keep the timber from getting too wet.
