Now that's what I call a proper DIY system.
wouldn't cost the earth either, which I presume is one of the great benefits of DIY

[dazmond]

Pure freedom cage,500L tank and electric reel...retro fit grippatank hydroheat,extreme 25 and 47....black soil pipes from b and q for pole holders....door cards/brush holders from grippatank too....

to the left of my reel is a socket set and behind that a black bin for dirty cloths then trad gear,chemicals,bucket with a lid,folding step and on top of the tank more cloths,scrapers,spare t mops/rubbers etc(all easy accessible from the side van door)....

to the right is my toolbox with spare connectors,PTFE spray etc and behind that my 2 x 105 numax leisure batteries....

Nice setup Daz, did grippa tank fit that for you, or did you just buy all the parts and do it yourself.

got my local garage to fit the tank and frame(bolted through the eyelets with pieces of angle iron,no drilling through the van floor!)and grippatank to fit the diesel heater,pump,controller,batteries and b to b charger.....i did fix in place and wire up my electric reel and install the pole holders so their is a small bit of DIY....

...oh and i fitted the door cards and brush/gooseneck holders on the inside of the van back doors.....

This would be a good system for you Josh, as long as you don't mind spending about £6000.00 on the interior of your van, it might even be more than that😮😮😮😮

just under 6k(not including poles).... ...£7.5k including poles...well worth the money to me....

as you can see my system has evolved over the years to what it is today...i wish i still had old pics of my first set up with 10 barrels,a 50L trolley system and an orange fiberglass pole!but i cant find them!maybe theyll be in my old posts from 2010...

i have the best set up now (for me) for burning through my workload very efficiently and fast with minimum hassle and strain.....

Notice you forgot a photo of the pink van and trailer 

Who was the guy on the west coast (Bristol?) side of the country who towed a trailer kitted out with a system with an ATV? He then towed it with a Fiat 500. He just seemed to stop posting one day.

He also had a gas water heater and also had a gas cooker so he could cook his breakfast and make a cup of coffee whilst working.

my round has evolved as well as my set ups and vans over the last 8 and a half years since i switched to WFP. its become a lot more profitable and i work shorter hours than i used too....

ive always wanted a new van and a  professionally fitted diesel hot water system but could never afford them before hence the older vans and DIY systems.....
