I'm not posting this because its the prettiest. Maybe I just have a nostalgia of a time when we were having fun here exchange pics and ideas. I love my truck because: Electric reels (awesome), No trailer (awesome), 12v fatboy as a back up, Surface cleaner on roof, med and large A-frame ladders, I can rotate my mix, I can transfer water or sh with having to lift pails or buckets. I can run a 5gal pail of sodium hydoxide or oxalic through the air pump very easily. Its not as complicated as it looks.

I love not having to lug a trailer. The fumes are not a problem but the gas does eat away at some things like hand tools. its challenging to contain little leaks like the reel swivel. I will buy a new van when the floor falls out.
I agree my trailer has to go....PIA to lug around.......chems too visible I plan on converting one of my construction box trucks over very soon. Not a lot of building going on in NJ anyway. Ed we should meet for coffee soon I would love to exchange roof cleaning stories
I'm still working out of my van as well. Nothing quite like this though.I just put my tanks in & out as needed. I'm really leaning towards an isuzu box truck. Something like this http://ameri-trucksales.com/component/option,com_autostand/Itemid,0/func,detail/id,30/ What do ya think?? I won't be doing anything until we are doing more than a couple of roofs a week though.

Aaron, I'm in the same boat or should I say same van. One day painting equipment, next day pressure washing and a third day I have my roof cleaning equipment in there.
LOL Ed, I like the picture with the passenger seat removed and replaced with a kiddie chair.
I once had a van exactly like that, my passenger sat in a lawn chair with bungee cords as a seat belt ( as a Joke )
But one time I got pulled over by the PA troopers with a passenger sitting in the lawnchair with his bungee cord seat belt on lol, any way, you should of seen the troopers face, he shook his head as if he thought he seen it all?? lol
