right i have a fairly compact round, i park the car once and it stays put, i return to it for new 25 L barrels and lunch, i clean most houses in the roads i do

now im thinking of a van

whats the score, i guess i would have to move the van every other house, otherwise i will have hoses trailing all up the street

also, what about people tripping over hoses ?? ??

what do you do ?? ??

On compact work, I tend to move the van more than when I used ladders or trolley only.  I use a longer piece of hose from the van mount to the reel so I can span the footpath with the hose piece.  I then cover it with a piece of rubber matting (sometimes two pieces on a very wide footpath.  I can usually do three houses from this if I position the reel by the middle house.  When I move the van I just unplug the hose piece from the van, move the van, then I reel in the hose and walk it along and then move the mat.  It's no great hassle really.  I've even spanned the hose piece across a road before if it's a light traffic area but lay the mats on the road in case the hose piece gets caught up in car wheels.
