Nice detail van: Ford Transit w/ slider.

I can't identify everything, but I do see a Honda EU generator, a sliding base, a couple of hose reels. And a tidy little van (Transit?).

I like the walk ramp tucked under the slider on the right side...that would save a lot of heavy lifting. I hate the look of those vans but that is a sweet rig.

I agree. Not the best looking truck on the road but my neighbour here has one and loads 1600lbs of freight into it a few times a week and still gets around 25mpg.
 
If I were starting out again I'd be looking at a transit but not all that stuff.



I would be looking at some sort of rectifier to run my electricity off the engine (obviously an after market alternator and battery set up) but I wouldn't be doing pressure washing. I'd have money in a really good vacuum, the 8hp. Metro blower, the Hitachi SP18v polisher, a Makita BO6040 dual action sander and then brushes, buckets spray bottles and various polishes and cleaners - though over the last few years the list of my materials has gotten shorter and shorter. I'd also have microfiber towels in various configurations and sizes, clay and nanoskin towel, and sponges.



I think I'd use a plain old RV water supply style 12v. pump to a hose with restricted flow output for washing. Two bucket method most likely.



Obviously not the whole setup, but just the basics.



All this is for the purpose of saying the Transit is more than enough, a great, reliable and efficient machine. Even if it is Butt Ugly.

From an efficiency standpoint I'd go with rinseless and/or waterless for as much of the jobs as possible. No pump needed, just a gravity-fed tap on your tank to fill buckets with.

Right, my website was very recently redeveloped and I am still finalizing the content on a couple of pages. Regardless, I fail to see what that had to do with this conversation or why you would deem it necessary to post?
 
I stopped and looked at one of these the other day,for what i do mostly onr (no giant water tank and high pressure for me) I think it's too big for the amount of gear I carry. I thought the Chevy hhr panel was cool and the perfect size. With my luck i noticed they stopped making them last year.

that looks like a rightlook.com trailer.... biggest piece of crap I ever owned

I built the trailer myself out of a 2011 7X12 Haulmark trailer which I ordered through a local dealer... And yes you are right the Rightlook trailers are crap.



I ordered all the hardware and the trailer and then put everything together myself. Over $15K into this thing.
