Need help With Mobile Trailer Setup

So I just made a post earlier today about possiblybgetting wheels for the trailer I bought. I realized I should probabaly concern myself more with my actualy set up. While I'm going to purchase my set up piece by piece I want to get an idea of what you guys would do.

Here's what I have:

4x6 Open utility Trailer with rear ramp door.

Here's my Average Week:

Work 3-4 days a week with usually ten cars+ a week.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase a 65 gallon tank. But what about the rest ? It seems like everyone runs a different set up. Will a pressure washer from Wal-Mart do(I only ask this because I've seen a few users get them)? Or will I need something more heavy duty? Do I need a pump to pump the water from the tank to the PW. What kind of generator will do? Why is it that some folks are running an engine in the back when they have a generator?

I know, what a NOOB. I appreciate the help though. I'm pretty lost in this department. And if it helps I am looking for my supplies to last as I plan to be detailing for at least the next three years. Thanks again.

Re: Need help With Mobile Trailer Setup

As far as your set up goes,I think you'll have to decide on Psi for the pressure washer. The generator will depend on what you are going to be powering. Pieces of equipment running at the same time etc. I do have a small utility pump that pumps the water from my tank to the pressure washer. Some of the more powerful units do not require a pump. Do your homework!
