Recommendations on small water tank, pressure water, & water heater.

Hey guys, so I'm revamping some of my stuff and trying to do some research on good space saving options. I recently purchased a new HHR for my business http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...g-vehicle.html and I'm working on outfitting it with some upgraded detailing stuff. I've always just used customer water and a two-bucket wash, but recently have switched to doing more rinseless washes. I feel though that a small pressure washer would go a long ways to rinse off loose dirt first (and for wheels) and make the RW's quicker. I'd also like to have my own water for when a customer's water doesn't make sense. So my questions:

1. What size water tank and any suggestions? I use about 5 gallons for a typical RW, so I need something that will accommodate that as well a HP pre-rinse. I would only need enough for one car at a time. (Looking for the smallest space saving tank I can get away with).

2. Any recommendations on a small electric pressure washer? I basically will only need this for the aforementioned pre-rinse and help with dirtier wheels, so nothing too fancy.

3. How do you mobile guys heat your water supply in the winter? Or do you? This time of year its cold (but still above freezing) and I'd love to have even just luke-warm water to wash with. Are there any options to heat your water supply up while you're mobile? Or do you just deal with almost frozen hands the way I have for the last 8 winters.

Thanks guys, appreciate any help, even if you've only got suggestions for one or two of the questions!
