Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Stolen Vans and Cars

Second hand window cleaning equipment is worth next to nothing.

Theres not really a massive market where they can get rid of it quickly either.

I think your hot water system is safe for now.

My van sits unlocked outside my house all the time. No ones ever stole a thing.

Theres always atleast 1 ladder on the roof rack too. Theres no clamps on my roof rack. All your have to do is lift it off and it would be away. No ones ever touched that either.

I have had mine from new, never let me down. Definitely an advantage not having dpf, add-blu and lots of other technology I do not want and only gives more potential problems.

Hoping to keep it on the road another 2 years, currently 162k on clock.

My dispatch is 20 years old. Passed MOT last month. All it needed was a side light bulb replacing.

Mine is 15 years old, still in very good condition and it's never missed a beat in the six years I've owned it

Far easier to sell a van without a window cleaning system installed.

I don't think there is much of a market for selling used window cleaning systems separately  either.

I don't go out if its heavy rain. I have told my customers that I may miss a month due to black ice or adverse weather. They are all happy when I told them, there's always tomorrow. Hard with DD customers but I have decided to pay them back in cash when I return the next month. Its a tough call if you are relying on the money.

You should easily have time to get round your work that month with 100 customers....

I manage it with 300+ customers only working 20 hours a week with plenty of spare time!

Exactly, that's what I like about this job. If I spend a full day then I would be finished by Wednesday but once I have made a few ton I slow down and want to go home.

Been in my mates garage Friday and Saturday getting all the warning lights out. One was about the hub so we fitted a new one and sensor. The light only needed the plug pushed in as the clip was broke and lastly the brake needed a new sensor. Only have to fit a new exhaust tomorrow before the Mot. Its so easy with a ramp and my tank was half full.

Once you get to 60 up here we get a bus pass and know its time to slow down.
I thought you were always fully booked for work with all your home maintenance jobs.

Always, always keep any fobs in a Faraday Pouch.   Even if they are only left for a few hours.      It's even worth that practice when out working when in your pocket.

Think I'll be sticking with what I have for now. The more I look into it, the more I'm put off Euro 6 diesel vehicles! Hopefully another year or two out of mine (which has neither dpf or adblue) then go either electric or petrol. 🤔 It's a bloody minefield out there now!
