#20... SS370 build

[Ray Burnfield]

How is that hose reel going to make your oil changes? I almost wish I would have nixed the submountt on mine and put my hose reel there. But I like the reel out the back too.

We are going to move the drain tube to the other side of the crankcase. The tube will be between the seats.

Adrian Steel shelf kit.

Oil change access is behind the passenger seat

Yes, electric reel from Rokan.

 

[Ray Burnfield]

Custom inside mount of the reel motor.

 

[Jim Martin]

you need to flip the shelf....and put the reel in the back...

your going to break your knuckles on the back of that shelf when you have to reel up your hoses...not much breathing or service room if you don't pull all your hoses off of the vacuum reel.....and your going to be cussing yourself out every time you have to get your big self in and out of that van just to get something off the shelf if it is pointed backwards..........

 

[Mikey P]

Welcome back Jim


Do you have a photo of the back of your van?

 

[Mikey P]

I really don't want the reel in back, maybe putting the vac reel on the left and the small reels on the right..

They must come off easy?

 

[Jim Martin]

I did not think I was going to like the reels coming out the back...all those years of working out the side...but it really is no big deal...

 

[Jim Martin]

I finally mounted the transport cradle for my zipper the other day...easy in and out..

 

[Mikey P]

 

[Jim Martin]

I think you may find that way more user friendly then the other way.........

Blue bottle pi turd in both vans??? Water softner???sp

 

[Able 1]

Definitely the second way!! Servicing it the other way would suck because you would have to remove the reel.. I still would push the vac reel back as far as possible and do something else with your solution hose..

 

[Mikey P]

something else with your solution hose..

such as?

I think thats much better - also much easier access to the tm for repairs/maintenance/winterizing

Is that a mid height van?

I never liked the hose reels on the floor that's prime space right by the door..

Edit: looks to be standard height.. I would stack them on the right side or put them on the doors or mount them to the ceiling..

 

[John Olson]

Get rid of the floor bracket and do not use a stack bracket. Have rays guys make you a stand or call me and will will ship one already made ray might need to cut it down as I don't know the height of that van. Worth every penny of the $175 we charge. That's lined.

 

[Mikey P]

it's a passenger van with upholstered ceilings (with hvac and lighting)

so pull the ceiling panel loose in that corner.... install the bracket and cut to the the panel fit around. So so easy a kid could do it

 

[John Olson]

The solutions stands this one is for trailers or tall vans the standard holds 2 300' reels. Jim has one he made. We used to powder coat the but lining is actually more durable

 

[Mikey P]

John can you get one to Ray's no later then Monday?

yes, Prochem..

 

[Mikey P]

Ray, can Jr build a tower bracket like Johns?


I really like that idea, frees up 2 square feet of floors space

 

[Able 1]

Since you are not carrying water would go to the left with John's style reel deal and to the right with the powered vac hose reel and push it as far back as you can.. In the pic John posted, you need to be in the van to get the hose on the reel right(or it will spool on the right side of that reel)..

 

[Charlie Lyman]

If you're going to be cleaning in freezing temps, you might want to consider a fresh tank. Frozen faucets suck. Turning one and feeling the stem break sucks even more.

What side would you want the reels? Looks like the vac reel is a long reach.
We can build any thing.

 

[Jim Martin]

when I made mine I made sure that the vacuum reel was on the curb side and the smaller reels were on the street side..that way I could just move the lines over and shut the door on the street side and not have to worry about the wind or something blowing them open and having it hanging out in the street......

He shouldn't have to reach anything.. Put a switch on a tether, either foot activated or push button.. Only spool it so you can reach the vac hose.

Still have the submount available Mike.

Understood and that's the plan.
Don't want the customer climbing in to the van to spool the reel when they use all the hose. It has to be within arms reach. IMO

for the vacuum reel............
