Will I be able to use my truck for pressure washing? (see pics)
« on: November 27, 2019, 07:35:26 pm »
Im planning on starting pressure washing in March but Im planning for it now.

If I take out my hose real etc would I fit a Honda pressure washer in the back of my truck and use my water tank as a buffer tank?

I dont really want to buy a trailer if I can avoid it.....

It looks like you might squeeze one in but not with wheels on. You should find out the dimensions of the one you want to make sure.
It will be a pain even if you can fit one in there. You have the hoses, lance etc and you probably want to keep the back seats free of crap.

Hi, thanks for your input. I'm trying my best to avoid buying a trailer but I just cant see any other way. I don't have anywhere to store a trailer and I don't want one hitched up permanently to my truck.

I'm open to all ideas if anyone can advise  ???

You could  fit a  caged machine in that space, maybe not a wheeled machine. something like this...

I could lift them  out of the van by myself but wouldn’t want to do it every day. They are slightly too heavy for one man

The elctric start Honda machine is for sale ;)

So is the pump ( brand new fitted to the engine but never used)  and The frame from the second machine. The engine broke so you could buy a new engine fit it all together and have a nice unit.

You don’t have space in the back of that pick up for everything you Need for powerwashing

If you took the tank  out you would have to carry a waterbut/wheelybin so it would still be tight.  Just think about sticking 3 x 25lts of hypo in the back with a FSC, lances, buckets, shovel etc
