I'm going to canvass around all my existing customers to grow the round in the areas I already work - looking to earn more with less fuel costs

Lol from what I hear wont be too tough, I am changing the game and staging the payments so no risk. All I ask is expenses on the day then one payment after the first clean and one after the second...

sounds about right m8 but i would start with backpacks!
I had van system but gone back to backpacks and trolley,enjoy it far more!
I would get like a clx18 and slx30 as they will be perfect for about any job you need.

Start with a backpack and give yourself harder work, van mount is way easier, less filling lifting barrels etc.
Backpack for odd jobs maybe, sod using one again all day

i have 10 metres hose on my backpack and the backpack on a lightweight trolley,works for me great,got fed up getting 100 metres of hose out getting caught on everything and getting dog doo on it etc.
 filling bottles take 5 mins with a pump.
 backpack saves me loads of time!

it is a pain i imagine,im just hoping il get used to it got quite a bit of compact stuff so trolley did sound like a good idea as dont really want be moving van all the time,thought that was good idea what i read the other day about leaving trolley in van and placing pipe in a tank so no need to change barrels

yeah if you have a trolley you can use as van mount from tank and take out and use with barrels anytime you like.

cool man if it works for you, I know if I did that I would be shagged by the end of the day each day.
I use a back pack probs three times a month less if I can help it, hose is easy as learn where is snags.
