Mobile guys with trailers. Need help please

[Billy Baldone]

Hello. I need help setting up my mobile trailer. Im going with a 5x8. I plan on mounting a generator and a water tank. I feel dimb asking, but i have no clue how to actually mount them to the floor. Do i just drill in hooks? Do i need to reinforce them? Will I need a water pump? I also want to run a CR deionizer. Do i need to just run hoses from the tank, to the pump. To the Deionizer then pressure washer? I teally appreciate the help

I'm not a mobile guy, but what is your trailer floor made of? Wood? Metal?

Mounting a generator isn't much of a hassle, but a water tank might be a bit more of a challenge.

Water is heavy, and will obviously "slosh" around in a tank while being driven. Turns, bumps in the road, braking, etc. will present a lot of force.

There are many options though. Brackets, ratchet straps, tie down loops, "D" rings........ Almost endless options.

The floor is wood

The floor is woodWhat size is the water tank? If it's the rectangle barrel style I would mount d-rings to the floor and use ratchet straps. Generator I would just u-bolts or something like that.The other stuff your asking I have no clue. I would assume you would need a little 12v water pump. I think there are some high dollar p/washers that will draw from a tank without a pump though. Good luck with everything
