Just curious if anyone here has installed this into a long wheel base. I'm so tired of the old connect the hose to the house thing, and feel I could save some time. There are so many times when their spigot is stripped, or a plastic pvc type jimmy rig. I'm in sunny so cal so no need to worry about freezing.

Before you add a big ass tank in your van, look for those who've taken their water tank out.

There's pros and cons to both setups. And if you're in Southern California, I'd keep using a water hose

It saves you time (money) liability (money) and you have piece of mind.

Get one..get two... get three of them! :winky:
Are you sure it saves money. An extra 900lbs. I know you've been in this game longer than me, so I'm sure you know the difference in more vs. less weight in our vans. Breaks, Transmission, engine, etc. Nausea from the water moving around

Yes. So you can add 3 or 4 passenger or you vehicle will break? :oldrolleyes: Never ever had a transmission go on any of our trucks due to weight of the cargo. Old trucks with high miles are the only tranny's I've ever replaced.

Gas? Dude you save 10-15 minutes every job. Cifer that for a year and you tell me. :winky:

Get a tank with baffles not just an open one that sloshes.

I'm trying to save 10-15min on every job by getting out of my trailer. Give me one step at a time, geez

Maybe but you'd be rolling and unrolling pretty fast. That doesn't account for the homes where you have to search for a spigot or when you have to add another 50 to reach it. Not to mention when they shut it off for winter.

The more jobs you do the more the time you lose a day. At some point you could have done one more job in the same amount of time.

Your box van has the room and capacity!

That's an awesome setup you have. I wouldn't waste the space for a tank. If you have a full day of carpet cleaning, 3-5jobs, how long will that 100gallon tank last before you need to unroll the hose again to fill it up anyway?
