Very tidy best of luck, that's a right looking brick of a brush (orange one) reminds me of an old Vikan arm buster.

Ops, maybe its just where its positioned in the picture.

Hey Daz , im pretty much back to normal now thanks mate , it has been tough but it was a life lesson for me , i now dont run around like a fool , i do pretty much half days and dont really earn much less !
I too treated myself a while back as the pink peril was getting a bit long in the tooth  ;D

Heres how i roll now , compact and a bit more clever i like to think  ;)

cheers lal.yes im very happy with my overall set up now.cant wait to get back into the swing of it after lugging that backpack around and filling it up every 5 mins! ::)roll ;D

i think the L2 240 connects are the perfect van for a one man band.the payload is slightly higher than my old T230 lal(936kg).

not too big for getting on driveways/parking but large enough to handle the water weight and fit all my gear in.the roof is lower so getting ladders off will be easier (when i need to)and its slightly longer in length so poles fit in without having to cut into the bulkhead.

the parking sensors are handy and the heated drivers seat and heated windscreen/wing mirrors are pure luxury! ;D

You are far too posh for me Daz , i can only dream of heated seats , the tank you have ....is that mounted the other way to the norm
If so how does it handle the slosh , its somthing im looking at doing .

yes its mounted longways richy.its a 500L upright in a PURE FREEDOM frame up against the bulkhead bolted to the eyelets with custom made angle iron so no drilling through floors(the van is leased).

the benefit for me having the tank fitted longways is the weight is distributed better IMO between axles and i can fit stuff down the sides.my bucket/spare cloths,detergents/chemicals,etc are right near the side loading door so very handy for grabbing a clean cloth etc quickly.also my gas bottle is there so easy to just open side door and change bottles.down the other side i keep my stuff that i dont use everyday(as i have to stretch/reach in to get them)like 5l pressure sprayer,tub of virosol,fold away trolley and toolbox.

there is a bit of sloshing around but only if you brake hard with half a tank full.sometimes theres slight "swaying" at traffic lights etc but not enough to concern me! ;D

Can't for the life of me work out why you put your tank length ways  :o
You could have whipped the backpack and reel out at the weekend and got a drumkit in there and a lilo.

Very nice tidy set up  ;)
The only thing that would cheese me off is packing away all that pole hose each time and getting it all tangled up and dangling in the way. you could do away with all that grief easily with a "tubeless" set up.

I think that Daz runs his hose outside the pole , but one of his goosenecks tells it different , maybe he changed again , we all know Daz ........i hate hot water...... no .....no ......in fact i cant imagine cleaning without it !!!!!
