Do you tow the trailer with a pickup truck? I put my roof cleaning setup in the back of my Silverado (100 Gallon Tank, Reel w/ 200' hose, Fatboy and Battery) and it works out well. I'd rather do that than setup on site every time.

With that being said, I don't have experience with equipment on trailers, but my pressure washer setup is similar to yours.

  I agree with Phil.  I bought a 125 gallon tank last winter and I love being able to get out of the truck ready to spray.

yeah, i agree with you guys about moving the skid, i'd love to have the roof setup in the back of my pickup however it's my only means of transportation ... i'll post some picks when i get i all figured out.

Mount it in the truck. It makes it really easy, and looks better.

decisions decisions ... i'm only averaging about 3 roofs per week and i'm concerned that if i use a 125 instead of mixing on site i'll have a lot of left over mix ... is it ok to go 3-4 days with the ammo mixed in? 

sounds good, i leave my trailer in a garage and i'll just use any left over for house washing ...can't wait to get it set up, i've been doing things the hard way ... truth is you can read all you want but until you actually get out there and do it you'll never learn ... kinda like college

My truck is my only transportation, too, but I like my roof cleaning setup. I don't tote my trailer around unless I have to!

I like the trk setup and have thought about it, but Sh really rust things out quick, drive shaft, break lines, etc etc etc,  thinking about doing a little setup in one of my trks, but for now, will stick with a trailor, I dont know about you guys but i carry way to much stuff for just a trk, We have a hotwater skid in our rig and wands, surface cleaners, chemicals, roof cleaning tanks, 200 ft of chemical hose 200 high pressure, 200 fresh water, I need my trk ( w/topper) just to haul everything.  (chems) and tools

SH does eat chit up but if you line it with a quality spray in liner it helps. Rinse the whole thing down after every job and at the end of the day and it will last. You can spray the under side also.

That's a nice hot water skid. How many gpm's? You do alot of commercial work?

5 gpm's ... would've went a different route if i could start all over but the guy (uncle) i worked for and took advice from prior to joining this forum still does roofs with a surface cleaner and uses ladders and telescoping wands on 2 story homes.

fortunately didn't take his advice on most things.

yeah, lot's of commercial work, i'm on the phone all day every day.

hope you're feeling better, are you at robert wood?
