    I'm using my wife's minivan right now while the engine is getting replaced in my Econoline E-250. I strapped the water tank to the child seat latches on the floor. The generator sits directly behind the front seats. I absolutely hate how small it is compared to my Econoline but it is working so far to get us by until our main van is fixed.

    If you haven't already. Look up Auto Fetish on YouTube, he has a nice setup video. He does use his customers power and water.

    I use a 7 seater Dodge Caravan. Removed all the extra seats.

    It's a tight fit for all my equipment but it works. I do not carry a water tank nor do I use a generator.

    Dang man, what all do you carry that you are stuffing the van with? Air compressor, extractor, big shop vac?

    I get by alright with my Forrester. Sometimes I carry a generator, large ezup, no extractor, but always have my ShopVac.

    Re: Mobile detailers

    I was running out of a Dodge Cargo Van for a year, But I wanting something more professional looking, I bought a new Quadcab Ram 1500 and put a camper top on it. I hated driving through these million dollar minimum communities in my creepy white van. Get my truck back from the shop tomorrow with the new vinyl wrap. Plenty of room for everything. I use costumer water/power so i don't carry any large equipment.
