LOOKS as if your KARCHER pressure washer is a STRAIGHT connect to your water tank.I posted a thread all by itself about a month ago, but here it is again.
The base that everything sits on, is two plastic pallets.
- Coleman 1850 Watt Generator / Electric Cord Reel
- Rigid 5hp Wet/Dry Vac
- Karcher Electric Pressure Washer 1400psi / Karcher Hose Reel
- 65 Gallon Tank with front discharge
- Milk Crates for bottle organization
- Misc. stretch straps for holding lighter pieces in place
- HD Ratchet Straps for tank
- 2 Storage boxes (1 for MF's and 1 for Pads/Applicators
- Buckets and Brushes
Cost to get started w/ No Chemicals $900-$1000

Curious to know about this as well... I really like the setup. Also, 1850 watt generator enough power? Has the karcher and generator combo worked out well for you?

I would like to know as well and what hose are you using on your karcher and how many feet is it ? I have a karcher but she wouldnt work on my tank . I think it failed because I used a long hose and there wasent enough pressure from the tank . But it may work if I had a shorter hose and a longer wand hose idk.

I really like your door setup Detailling by M. Isn't the Meguiar's banner in your way when you try to take stuff out of the van?
I see that no one seems to be using minivans. I was thinking of getting a Grand Caravan or something similar in the springs. Any thoughts on that?

I feel they might not give the same appearance was a van. But some brand new mini-vans really aren't that bad looking haha.

Here's some of my organization........
The bag below is an AG bag. It holds my PC and Rotary. The blue bag on top is my Cyclo. The two small containers under them are about 40 various 4oz. samples. The upper blue bag contains all of my Pinnacle supplies.......it goes inside if it to warm or cold!
The blue storage container is temporary until my new toolbox arrives. Took me months to find the right one.......it's yellow and metal!!!
A hose reel is also on the way. I'm having friend fabricate a bracket that will let it be on top of the pressure washer to save space. You'll also notice that there is no generator. I use my customer's power a lot but I'm in the process of adding a 4000 watter inverter along with a dedicated Optima Deep Cycle (Blue Top) battery. The weight, noise, and size were all killing me!
nice setup compact - info on cat pump and Pressure washer engine, did you purchase or bolt on (build) yourself and can you supply product numbers thanks

Here are the specs:
-4x8 Load Trail trailer 3500# axle, 15" wheels
-65 gallon water tank (tractor supply)
-4000 watt Powerhorse generator (Northern Tool)
-Powerhorse 2700 psi pressure washer, 2.5 gallons per minute
-Flojet 5gpm 12v on-demand water pump
-Interstate 12v battery powering water pump

That's about it. Found a lot of useful advice and information on this forum prior to building this rig. So far the combo has worked great.
