I bought mine on a plate had it fitted so it never leaves the van, I also bought 130 m of high pressure hose from Him, so I can get to most jobs from the van.

For just 20m wouldn't bother with hose reel but extra hose defo, 20m sounds a lot but it's not

how much hose is on the reel  150m   or is it hung in the van  is it heavy duty hose   and does 150m  effect the psi

Pressure washer van mounts are defo the way to go if you want to make jobs quicker/easier for yourself if/when starting to get really busy.  Mind after saying that it can start getting expensive to build/buy a decent pressure washer setup for a van or a trailer rig especially if going down the hot route.

Most machines come on trolleys, but I never wanted it to leave then van, hence it on a plate, and bolted down.
There defo won't be 150m on a reel, I bought a few 4 x 25m, 3 x 10m, ( I think ) but a few long ones do the smaller ones don't get used much unless am maxed out. I just coil them up at end of each job, and use a few tie clips to hold together. Most jobs can be done with just 2 lengths of hp hose so it's not to bad. I have a reel off Ben in my shed just never got round to fitting it

I bought 6 x 25m of normal hose to fill the van incase am far from a supply tap

Quick answer to that question is No .  You need to feed your PW through a buffer tank . You also need this buffer tank for your PW return bypass pipe

Will do Smurf :)

Not a problem speak to you in spring ;)

Ed is quite right, you will need to fill from a tank of wheelie bin to supply 21LPM. If possible it helps to feed from the bottom of the tank, flooded suction helps the pumps no end.
