My mobile rig setup

Is anyone running a set-up similar to this? Just wondering what the inside of other mobile detailers trailers` looked like..

I`m guessing that tank doesn`t have baffles? How`s that working out, when it`s 3/4 or 1/2 full? Do you feel it a lot?

i thought it would be a problem too, but its really not that bad.. you can feel a bit of forward/backward motion, but nothing to cause concern.. My trailer brakes and the auto downshift of the Allison Tranny work wonders..

thanks man.. its just the basics.. generator, pressure washer, vac, water tank, and air compressor (behind vacuum)..

You should Line-X the floor. Wood won`t last long and it doesn`t like water.

yeah, i agree. been wanting to rhino line the floor.. i really need to, just been lazy.. I did weld in 2 2x4 inch box tubing pieces from side to side where all the pressure is at under the tank..

How do you have your water from the tank going to the PW? I have the same tank, and I cant seem to get the water from the tank to the PW

perhaps his pressure washer can function off water that is gravity fed. Or perhaps there is a pump on the pressure washer that pulls the water and pumps to the pressure washer?

but that black hosing looks like its the hosing to connect to the bung in the middle of the tank to the inlet on the pressure washer.....

looks good!

**Flawless Image** · 04-06-2009, 08:30 PM

the water is all gravity fed.. there is not alot of pressure obviously.. I have a step down attachment that has a hose fitting on the outlet. I also open the top to allow airflow into the tank. then i turn the water on to prime the hose. since there is not that much pressure, i am able to screw the hose onto the pressure washer without it shooting all over the place. then the pressure washer does all the work. kinda like syphering gas out of a tank, once the flow gets started, it runs till the last drop.

The Black Hose is for my vacuum by the way..

i have the same setup same size water tank all stuffed in a van

Wow Paul ... sorry to hear that. that must be expensive and cramped quarters.

That must also create poor gas mileage, and lots of work on breaks ... carrying around literally a ton of water.

it must be a pain to take out all you reclamation systems to recapture all that waste water.

it must frustrate you to waste all that time and energy.
