Show me your trucks mobile guys

Hey
I'd like to see some of you guys mobile set up with trucks, where and how you placed your chemicals vacuums tank etc. I can't get a van because this will be my only car and I don't want to ride around in a van other than for work I'd much rather have a truck

Thanks,

Aaron

Also keep in mind that you can do just fine with a smaller hatchback type vehicle. I just bought a 2008 Scion XB that works perfect for my mobile business. It gets a combined 23-24 MPG.

Re: Show me your trucks mobile guys

I'd be interested in seeing some setups as well, Ive seen a couple van setups that utilized the space very well, but havent seen too many other types of vehicles

That was going to be my suggestion. You can actually pick up an older one (with the 1.5l engine) for incredibly cheap and you'll probably get over 28mpg w/ the stuff in the back, but if your hauling gallons of water the new xB would probably be better, due to the 2.4l engine.

Not a truck per se, but it works. And I get 26MPG - without a car payment

Water is also supplied by client.

I use magnetic signs that I remove when I go to my "day job"
