Thanks Radek for the picture

Nice set up........Been looking to do this for a long time out the back of the van.

I am like Stuart looking at getting a more powerful machine (storm or evo)

What hose run are you using with your storm

pump, havent see once I placed it in, but this was some cheap garden submersible  pump. Works from mains, once I connect two power leads I have a 230v inside the van, see the sockets on the first picture, one cable runs to the front and I have a switch there for the pump.

Hose reel and tank cages I welded myself.

There is 100ft of 2inch hoses and 75ft of 1.5 inch hoses. Usually use no more then 70-75ft, somethimes 100ft, more then this realy realy somethines, not recommend due to the suction.
75ft is still very good, 100ft is very acceptable but if more you start feeling the lack of power, but still prefer more hoses, lower pressure and work a bit slower then remove the machine and work with buckets.

One hell of a difference then ? I might treat myself next week ! Been looking at four machines, the Jag obviously the Evolution , the Enforcer and the Storm, I think out of them all the Storm wins hands down for me ! Not too heavy can be got in and out of my van easily, very easy to work on exellent build quality and a well proven machine and also I have three mates with them that swears by them! What more can I say, I still like the Evolution but its very heavy and its a pity they are putting the smaller motors in them now
So I think the Storm ticks all the right boxes coupled with Matts legenary service, dont think I can go wrong

You're right on every point Stuart.  Choose Storm  buddy.  I just showed it for my mate who knows about cc nothing at all and he straight said that my previous machine looked very poorly compering to storm. I need to order 50ft hoses so will post soon my impressions at 75ft length:)

I remembef about four years ago, I popped over to see Mike roper in whitby to pick somthing up, he was on a job using his airflex turbo, and I thought my machine looked poope compared to his , no comparrison realy as you the Storm all the way, if it had inbuilt heaters it would be the ultimate portable ever built

If you fit a portable HWE into your van and make it into aTM i.e. fixed into van would that invalidate your van insurance.  With experience when I said that I had fitted my T/M into van they classified it as a modification to the vehicle. I'am possibly looking at joining the portable club in the future.
