Daz, would you be better off selling your trolley complete, the pure freedom one always seem to sell for alot, buy a back pack for your houses that you can't get the hose to, then buy a new pump and controller, plump it in properly, then have a tap on the tank and hose lock connectors going to the pump so that you can easily remove it in the winter?

At first I thought yeah a ratchet strap sounds ok then I started trawling through past posts on the forum and I'm not convinced that 4 ratchet straps through the floor anchors are safe anymore. Like Daz i am at the stage where i want to go to a van mount It all sounded easy as  but once I started reading previous posts on securing a tank I'm not to sure that Daz's installation is the way to go. I'm gonna read up a bit more on it and decide whether some more hardier anchor points through the chassis would be feasible.

i got two ratchet straps but only fitted one!(no room for the other!)its solid its really tightly strapped down.its a layflat tank and i have bars behind my drivers seat.the straps fit snuggly in between the baffles in the middle of tank.feels ok to me.

im not planning on having a crash any time soon and im certainly not gonna worry about it!i drive very carefully with a full tank of water in the back.my tank is a quarter full at the moment.ive took trolley out and hose reel as ill be doing a bit of driving about this weekend here and there.

im planning on getting a car as well next year so the van will just be used for work.

it was a cheap easy convert from trolley to van mount in about 60 mins!!! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

lee the trolley still comes in handy for washing the van with two barrels on and if in the case of van off the road i could put trolley in a car in an emergency.trolley will be taken out in winter or ill have a van heater in the back.

i dont have any work where i cant get a hose to.dont need backpack or trolley.the van mount covers all my work.a couple of jobs where i thought it would be awkward with the van mount i dumped on monday.


regards
