[ALLN1WASH]

HOWS IT GOING PPL? I HAVE BEEN DETAILING FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW AND RECENTLY DECIDED TO GET LEGIT. THE FIRST TWO YEARS GETTING STARTED, ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS CAME TO ME AS I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A PERFECT SIZED GARAGE BEHIND MY HOUSE. TWO YEARS AGO WE MOVED AND EVER SINCE, IVE BEEN MOBILE, WORKING OUT OF MY TRUCK AND TRAILER. NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE, HOWEVER, IM READY TO LEAVE THE TRAILER SET-UP FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE SECURE( I AM SOOO SCARED OF GETTING MY TRAILER STOLEN). WITH THAT BEING SAID I PURCHASED AN ASTRO VAN YESTERDAY AND AM COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH TRYING TO FIT EVERY THING THAT NEEDS TO BE THERE.

90 GALLON LOW-PROFILE TANK, GENERATOR, PRESSURE WASHER, SHOP VAC, EXTRACTOR, BUFFERS, BUCKETS, CRATES, SUPPLIES, ETC.....

IF ANYONE HAS EVER USED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TO OPERATE OR HAS SOME INPUT ON SET-UP PLEASE RESPOND AND GIVE SUGGESTIONS...

PICS WILL BE GREAT AS I AN A GREAT VISUAL LEARNER, LOL,,,,SERIOUSLY I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!Feed back please

I don't have an answer for your set up, but just so you know, using all caps on the web equals to screaming at those that read it...

On a side note, if you are so scared of your trailer been stolen, it might be time to move...

[ALLN1WASH]

Yeah, working from a cell phone locked on caps... And if, in your opinion, this screams read it, that's what i need. I dont know if u misread my original post, but i am looking for some help buddy...

And on a side note, last time i checked people are people and if they steal here, they steal there....

Thanks for the reply tho....
Anyone else with some helping info please reply... And again sorry for the caps if that bother you.....

Hey man It might take a while to get things set up the way you want. We bought a 98 Astrovan (not the cargo version) for about $2000. Then built a box for the tank and covered it and put it on a 8x4 sheet of plywood that fit snuggly in the van after the seats were removed. I'll send some pics when we return.

[ALLN1WASH]

Awesome my man, I do appreciate the input. I also brought an astrovan myself, ready to get this thing loaded... Really looking forward to seeing your pics. And again, thanks for the help man...

Here are some pics of what our van looks like now after some about 8 months of working on it.

Your are the man Phil...I really like what Im seeing here. These pictures are just what i was looking for. The set-up is awesome and a very BIG relief to me as I now know all my equipment will fit. I must admit the location of your hose reel is one i never thought of, but it makes complete sense (I MEAN, WHY SHOULD IT BE ANYWHERE ELSE????). Great utilization. I think what i like most about your set-up is the fact, You got everything you needed to get done, DONE, without completely ruining your vehicle. Dont be surprised if You see a Miranda van duplicate on here very soon, lol, however i can tell you that these pics have very helpful.

again thanks for your help and may you continue your success.

[ALLN1WASH]

one more ? Phil, what size tank is that you have?
Thanks....

[MirandaAutoSpa]

It is a 65 Gallon tank. We can actually get about 10-11 or so basic washes out of it, or 3-4 full details. We try to conserve as much as possible, we have run out before but we have fire stations around here that help us out in a pinch. I'm glad I was able to offer some help.
I did the same thing when I started just trying to get some answers form different forums, I got some remarks and reply's from people that served no purpose, kinda weird, I think some guys just love posting dumb statements or remarks that should be removed from here. Which did happen in one case when I posted some pics and someone posted a stupid remark. SERIOUSLY!?
Anyways enough ranting.
Hope all goes well with your set-up, post some pics when finished, I would love to see it.

[ALLN1WASH]

Absolutely man... Pics will be up as soon as i am finished. Thanks for the help bro... Talk @ u soon...
