Here is the 12 volt hook up that I used for my Fat Boy. The trailer already had the battery for the hydraulic dump so it made my life easier plus it charges itself from job to job. I decided I wanted to make my pump easily removable from the trailer thats why I used the plug type connection.

I'll keep adding to this once I resize my pics. Most of them are to large to post and I wasn't aware of this when I started the thread.

Here is how I decided to make my mix tank. These 55 gallon drums are usually available at little or no cost. This top draw set up was found using the search button when I first discovered the RCIA.

Tank set up continued. I had poly fittings on the top draw tube which were later changed to PVC and Brass fittings.

Great pics Barry!!

Here are a few pics of the plumbing setup. I had originally placed the pump in a battery box and later removed it for better access to it. I ended up making a plate attached to the pump that easily hangs over the side rail of the trailer ( sort of like how a ladder jack works) easy on easy off. The small length of coiled up hose is to easily transfer the SH to the mix tank and instead of switching the 55gal drums of SH, I keep the same blue drum in the trailer with the SH label and transfer fresh SH into that drum. My plumbing is set up to easily add SH and water from their respective tanks to the mix tanks with a few turns of ball valves. A note on the ball valves - I will try out the Banjo Brand valves this season due to the valve handles breaking on the PVC, I hear the Banjo brand move more freely.

After a few jobs of working without a hose reel I couldn't take it anymore. I went with a Titan 1" manifold, Hopefully I won't have the weld leaking problem with the bigger mainifold. This ree was the most expensive part of the whole set up, but well worth it. I placed the reel on top of the water tank I got for $20 because I quickly ran out of room. My trailer is 6' x 10' I would recommend something larger if your buying one anyway.

I like to use the poly gun over the ball valve but this was creating a problem with cycling of the pump so I added the FloJet Accumulator Tank from Bob at PT and this fixed the issue and I can use any size tip I want for those tricky areas like small bay window roofs and edges without any overspray.

Here is some of the initial purchase I made before the build started.

What size hose are you running? Is the manifold SS?

Id love to have a view like the one in the background of the last picture. Best views we get around here are of open fields witha few cows in it. LOL

Banjos are the best brand of almost anything you can buy. If they'd develope a whole pump, Id spend whatever they were asking for it.

Scott, 200' of 3/4" and the manifold is stainless.

Very nice Barry. I'm going to make a change to my setup based on your rig and the pictures. Thanks for posting it

SP Cleaning · Feb 2, 2011

Barry, Thanks for all the pics. This is great info for all.
As they say..... a picture is worth a thousand words.
Plus we all just LOVE to see "stuff" for roof cleaning
builds and the finished setup.
Your setup looks great, I like the ladder rack and tool
box mounted on the side of the bed. Very Nice.
