RE: PICTURES of "Rigs", Trailers, Trucks

Isuzu or Mitsu are both good MPG on the diesel motors. Most of them are 4cyl, and the gutter guy i was talking about has his loaded to the roof. Gutter machines are heavy and they stock up to 5 colors on them. Diesels get beter MPG period, i have a 2011 super duty diesel that gets 18-20 mpg on its own, towing a 20ft enclosed job trailer it drops to approx 16mpg.

Thanks for posting pictures!

Al; That is a nice neat set-up, looks like you have everything you need and is still mobil and nimble. Nice.

Patrick: Sales truck looks great Awesome) it pops (is it a partial wrap) and must get good MPG

Thanks. You can't see it, but there is a 65 gal. mix tank on the othe side of the two 25 gallon barrels. I can get to a job or jobs with over 100 gallons of mix in one trip. I try to keep it small and manuverable.

Here is our Rig. Rough winter so we need to get some more paint on it. Sides and ladder rack are new (it helps when your job site foreman also happens to be a metal fabricator with his own shop at home!). We are getting new signs next week. Thing has twin 6K axles so it will NEVER be overloaded! Has a 100 gallon main and a 25 Gal Washdown tank. Fatboy pump...soon to be replaced with an air pump that I have soon as I can find a good deal on a twin head compressor.

Wish, I wouldve, having had the ability to actually see these rigs wouldve saved me alot of mistakes, my setup now is flawless, but it seems like Ive built it twice and its cost me 2x what it shouldve. This is really a great thread. Roof Cleaning in Seattle is a PITA because we have such small streets throughout the entire city. Most streets in the city and about 15 miles each way would never be able to fit a decent trailer.

I got a setup now that lies in the back of a van a barrel with some suction hose to fill a 55 g/ garbage can on wheels and a mitsubishi 1" to draw from brute barrel and some garden hose on a rapid reel. It works fine but I need something that I can deal with here and there, this thing makes messes sometimes and is taking up the entire van. Its just racking my head trying to figure out what will work in these 1 way city streets I do the majority of my work in.
