this design is always  a nice compact unit.

 like I said, side tanks, machine in the middle and hose reel on top....

[BDCS]

Thats a Nixon drain jetter - the same machine I'm going to rip apart to build my trailer washer but with a 650 ltr tank across the axle, washer on the front and boiler on the back.
How much are you wanting for it ?

[Mike Halliday]

Whats wrong with it? Pump specs?

[Mike Halliday]

Nothing wrong with it

specs ...... Did you not watch the video?

[Matt Gibson]

Sorry Mike, came across a bit rude  just thought it was quite cheap for that setup.

[Mike Halliday]

Got 3 trailer units sat on the lawn, tried to sell the big one last week on eBay and I was going to use this one, but now selling this one and going to use the big one.

I would also concidering a swop for a big engine, 25hp ish so I can build another unit

A couple of hours more work tonight, starting to take shape

Mike am i right in thinking this trailer setup needs a locking pin to atatch to tow ball., is it easy to remove pressure washer from these trailers as to not leave out at night all the time. for security reasons.     fix on when needed. my emails in profile.

[Mike Halliday]

It just clips onto the ball, the actual machine can be removed  from the trailer if you need to do some maintenance , it s a bit of a messing about as it he earth wire is bolted underneath to power the electric reel and ot light.

The powerwaher can be used independently until I fitted it in the van  I used to just carry it inhe van and use it with a wheelybin

[Ashley Brothwood]

Another thing to look out for when towing a trailer is if the van / car plus trailer is over3500kg and used for a business you need to fit a tachograph and abide by all the driving hours. I only found this out when i spent 1/2hr to DVLA to see what i could legally tow (as i passed after the 1997 licence change)
The 3500kg is what it can potentially carry to so if a ford transit is kerb weight 1600kg plus 1000kg ish carryweight you can only tow a trailer with a maximum carry weight of 900kg. I tried to argue that if i had a good decent trailer big enough for an empty tank, pressure washer and pipes such as an ifor williams there never rated less than 1500kg so id have to get a cheaper trailer with a much lower plated weight

[Matt Gibson]

Or you can do anothe test (b+e) and tow up to 8 tonne gvm ( trailer/van mvw)

[Andrew Briscoe]

I will be pulling this trailer with my toyota hilux which has a train weight of 5.2 tonnes,
Passed my test well prior to 97 so ok there/
I think the tacco law dosnt count as long as your working within 30 miles of base, however, I stand to be corrected.

My best mate is a examiner for trailer tests and have already spoke about this, will double check to make sure.

Why are you building the trailer in your living room?

Thats one news thing about it even thought it says fleet news theres a few other websites with it on amd when i was on tje phone to them they said even if anyone had a pre 97 licence or after and took a B+E it would still apply and theyll need a tacograph

I could quite happily live in my garage, its 12.5m x 6.5m
has wifi too, a bar in the corner would just finish it off

I found something on a .gov site, but i cant be bothered to look again. It said if your travelling within 30 miles of your base, then you dont need a tacho.

[Ashley Brothwood]

Ye well i wouldnt be suprised if it was something like that as the people on the phone didnt know themselves. Its just something to look out for anyone that does travel further than the 30miles

[Andrew Briscoe]

Almost finished, bit of paint for tank frames, then mount on trailer

[Andrew Briscoe]

just need to change the outlet fittings to 90 degree tee's make it look tidy
