you can get a trolley system mate from Ebay but you will need a trolley that produces pure water,

have a look at the buy and sell section on here and on window tools as they often come up bt window cleaners who are moving on to a van system

Hi there

You could get a backpack system from this guy at Red diving
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Extend2wash-505-backpack-17ft-pole-and-100gpd-RO-New_W0QQitemZ130354778041QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA?hash=item1e59c00fb9
i think he does a trolley package for not much for more. He does a trolly on its own for £219

I would personally upgrade the RO to maybe a 200/300 GPD and just get a few jerry cans to hold a bit of water to keep in the car.

and then get a van mount when you think its best to.

   Have you ever considered making systems as a sideline Matt? Especially with the weather as it is.
  Or don`t you fancy the hassle with it all?

You can save money on the RO by harvesting rainwater. And the savings are ongoing since you won't have any extra water bills to pay.

Depending on the cleanliness of the roof you collect from, the pipework and the containers you use to store the water, you may even be able to use it raw without running it through an DI unit.

As you'll only be using small amounts of water to begin with, it will save you the capital cost up front. When you start earning later, you can then invest in a RO unit from revenue.

i used to make a few

custom systems exactly to what the customer wanted, it was aminly aimed at the people who didnt want to pay over the odd's BUT didnt feel they had the skill to DIY it

a fair few are now mates of mine ( online ) who stay in touch, i even had christmas cards of a few ;)

i really just have the spare time, its shocking where my time goes ( i know i sit on here for a while a day. but the children are currently reading )

i would like to do high quality bespoke campervan fitting when my youngest starts school ( in a few years ) that will be a challenge i will look forward to
