« on: May 15, 2010, 11:15:41 am »
i am getting a brand new van and dont want to make any cock ups. basically im a one man band cleaning windows in rural area.  thinking of wfp to clean some of my jobs but will clean many traditionally still due to wooden frames , access and customer choice . i dont want any just pole the lot replies , i respect everyones opinion but not arguing trad v poles anymore as each has its place.  anyway  what size tank?  what size van?  ro or di?  which company should i buy wfp system from?  any advice would be welcome.  just to say im just interested in keeping my current custys happen , not looking to expand or employ as im happy with earnings and dont want to step on any other windowcleaners (WFP OR TRAD) toes.

As for tank size, plan for your biggest day. You can always half fill a big tank but you can't double fill a small one!!

I'd say a 500 or 650 litre tank  would last 8-10 hours for 1 man if you are careful.

Hi

Not sure how much money you have to spend on a van but have a look at the Peugeot Expert they have gross payloads from 1,000kg-1,200kg. You could easily get a 600-800 litre tank plus all your equipment no problems.  If you go for the professional it comes with a steel bulkhead, twin sliding doors and blue tooth as standard. Citroen and Fiat also do their own version. Have a look for an ex-demonstrator from a main dealer you can save a fortune on a nearly new one and this would last you for years.

Thanks Luke.
