Hi Michael
Think you will find some companies do 50' as well.
Ive not enquired about more (like 100') but its not out of the question I dont think.
Just need the ends and connection pieces and you can cut to what you want.

michael, most would agree that if you have a truck-mount then larger hoses, 2", is best for recovering moisture from the carpets, it leaves them drier, have you been away?

I think Mick means the TM Hose Reel.  Correct me if im wrong.  You are right though.....2" vac hose will give better air flow than 1.5",  not only on Tms but most porties aswell.

Mike,
When I ran my business in Wolverhampton 99.9% of the job I did only needed 75 foot From van on the drive to the back of the house, when upstairs i put a 10 foot whip on to reach the last bed room.
If your feel 2" is to large then use 2" for the first 50 foot then reduce it to 11/2" the reset of the way. As Richie has pointed out 11/2" to the van will restict the air flow and cause you a whole load of problems not only with drying but it will put stain on your blower and drive belts trying to draw the water through long runs of narrow hose. Been there done that got the reciepts for fan belts.
