Title: Van mount gutter vacuum.
Post by: Sparkkadian on October 31, 2012, 11:41:35 am

Could this be modified to work as a van mounted comprehensive gutter vac?
No need for generator. Looks powerful, just not sure if they can cope with gutter sludge.

I'm sure I've seen some American youtube clips of a gutter van attached to a petrol powered vac - like a billygoat - don't know about the gears though

Yeah me neither, but surely it wouldn't take much to put a machine similar to this into a van, and adapt a hose to fit. Anyone out there tried it?

Go on buy it.
And then let us know how you get on clearing the blockage in the 100mtrs of vac hose you will need.  ;D
