Hey Gaz, I'm dead impressed with this mate, keep the pics coming. I only have a small trailer now that isn't even big enough to hold a 125L container (it's too short by about 5 cm!!) but I'm sure my trailer aspires to be a trailer like this... 8)

I'm sure I would love to have one  ;D

Hi Gaz

Trailer looks good, i,ll pop one of the days soon, for them brush,s & have a look.
Make 4 now. I,ll give you plenty of notice.

Are you going to sign write the trailer, the guy who does my vans is not far from you. Paul had a trailer from them & let it go cheap hardly used. I thought a bout it but have no space, 3 vehicles at house & 2 other vans at work.

The company is Spectrum signs ask for Ian, i,ll find the number if you need it. They are up by lymedale i cant remember which estate its further up on right.

Gaz, got your swivel brush the other day seems fine. Won't work properly with my gooseneck though so I'll have to try a much shorter one later I think. Cheers Dave

Hi Dave,
they work better on the black plastic adjustable necks,
the longer ally goosenecks can make it a bit awkward to control them,
can you unscrew your gooseneck,i am working on some extenders for the adjustable necks so they can be taken on and off if needed,

Think I need a selection of poles so I can grab the one I want with the brush I want on the day.

looks brill mate, only one worry, Hope your pump doesnt fail or pipes split, you wouldn't want water all over your battery.
It looks like he's using a sealed lead acid battery, in that case he'd be ok to spill some water on it, I use a 22ah sealed lead acid battery and once had a leak and totally submerged the battery, ( mine's also under the pump ) ran fine for a couple of hours before I noticed my pump box was kinda half full of water, no damage at all.

Gaz..when I had my old hose reel on the door I found it hard to reel it in without the door moving about so in the end I was holding the door while I was reeling it in and it ended up a right mess on the reel.
I gave up after 2 days and took it off.

Bazz…

(Trailer is looking good)   ;D
