  • @northjerseykevin409
    @northjerseykevin409 5 місяців тому

    Thanks for the video. I’m thinking the perfect setup would be a nice soft wash 12 volt with manifold, AR45 for those big roof jobs and an 8 gallon for downstream and rinsing.. I’m not sure about tank size. I’d get a flow valve so I could refill but there must be a sweet spot. I’m also torn on a skid or a trailer…. I’d like to get a skid because I already have a nice pickup with a 6 1/2’ bed and I know that would be convenient but I also realize a trailer or good size flatbed could hold it all. Tough decisions
