    Outside of tank needs a good cleaning huh?


    From back of van...


    A lot of room left for 'other' stuff..


    Now I need a large rubber mat for the floor. That or have the floor done in a Rhino Liner. I may go the cheaper route for now..

    I would attach tubing or pipes of some sort for your question about pressure washer exhaust.

    What size is the generator? Looking for one for my set up.

    I like it a lot. Great job on fitting everything in there. I think my second van will be a midsized van like that instead of another full size like my E250.

    It is looking great. Very well organized. Looks like its a snap to find everything.

    As for the vac, it's easy. Just un-do the hose, get in the van, pull the vac to the open side of the shelf, and pull the vac out. Voila! LOL

    As for the "net thingy" holding the bottles, those are actually for buckets. They clip on the top of buckets to hold your bottles. Bought from Wal Mart for less than $4.00 each.
    I just cut the plastic clips off and attached it to the door.
    I will see if I can find a stock photo of them.

    Hey Tex, I like that net hanging stuff for the bottles on the door- any chance you can get some better pics of that, as well as info on where you got it?

    Thanks!

    Looks great bro! Haven't talked to you in a LONGGGGGGG time. Very nice set up. I too was thinking of a van but heck, everyone knows my yellow truck now!

    How are you gonna empty that vac?

    LOL!

    Well, I forgot about updating this thread.

    Here are some more pictures.

    From the back. "ALMOST" final... lol. still tinkering with it.


    water hookup split


    Built this box today to cover my tank and make it look a little cleaner in there . Needed more shelving, so this will do. Not done yet.




    I will be putting drawers on the passenger side, on top of this.
    Will also have railing going around to hold things in place so things don't roll around. Also thinking of making a bottle holder on top of it.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to run the exhaust from the pressure washer.
