Kevin which porty did you run from the van? I have a jag not sure if I'd like to run 150ft with it must be spoilt with having tms.

It was a Mytee Shaun, at the time it was the most poweful I could find, with heat. When I say 150ft, this was the max - most jobs were 75ft which was good. We used to fill up the 250ltr tank in the morning with hot water so that by the time it went through the heat exchangers it was very hot indeed and lasted well in to the day.
I'm glad 99% of the time it didnt need coming off the van becuase the filling area was a nightmare due to the opening being too small for buckets (wrongly designed). So the autofill/keep on van situation was much easier.
The only downside was occasionally it would trip custys leccy, but it was a price worth paying imo. I would still never go back to a porty though, becuase even with the simplicity of how we had it set up - it could never compare to the extra heat, pressure and vaccum of a TM.
Cheers

p.s. the most common comment we get when we finish a job with a TM is....'you finished already?' Er, yes!
