It was a good day to take a picture.
My trailer has a 4200psi 6.3gpm hot water unit, a 3500psi 5.5gpm cold water unit , a 6kw generator, and a 325gal water tank.
The truck is a 98 F-150 OFF ROAD.

Wow,
Looks good, I like the use of the Ford Ranger rims on the trailer. Very professional looking rig!

Indeed a very nice setup.

Glenn you must have sharp eyes to catch those rims, I would never have known they were Ford rims.

Bill, do the sides remove easily to work on things inside the trailer?

hi Bill,

beautiful truck!!!! (i've got her twin sister, i also have a 98 F150, but mine is silver, wouldnt trade it for the world)

is that a pretty heavy load for that truck?? i pull a 12' enclosed trailer on mine, and all i have in it is two cold water units and paint sprayers and lots of buckets. pretty much all i'd wanna pull. wish i had the 5.4 motor. looks good bill,

take care,

Hey Jon,
The sides are a perminant part of the trailer, but the way i have it set up every piece of equipment on the trailer is easy accesable.

Hey Jon Fife,
we don't make it a habbit to haul water far distances , and the trailer it self with a quarter tank of water on it you don't even notice it's back there. We always take our time when starting out at the bottom of a hill, pulling it in 1st gear about 2500rpm.

Pretty sporty lookin, Bill. What caught my eye was the raised white lettering on the trailer tires to match the truck.

Bill,

Very nice set up! Question though? With a 6.3 gpm unit and just a 325 tank,,,do you find that when you are working at a site that the tank doesn't keep up with the machine? Just wandering.

Again great set up! Makes me want to put some fancy wheels on my trailer too.

Rick,
The answer to your question is YES & NO.Let me explain, when we flow a high amount of water it doesn't take long to use the water, but what we do if water supply is an issue is lower the nozzle size to keep the psi up and cut the flow rate down.Useing a smaller orface in the nozzle we have to back off the regulator, or unloader to keep the psi where we want it .We sometimes run into problems running both machines off the 325gal tank because the float valve we have in the tank woun't flow the gpm we need for both units, I just stick the hose directly into the tank lid and problem solved. I am looking into finding a float valve to give Me enough flow to keep up.

Bill,

I think I understand...Can you eloborate a bit more on the tip & unloader adjusting you do? I never have played with the adjustment on my machines.
