Thread: water fed trailer, finally done!

Very nice!! What make & modle is the pump?

Very Nice! After seeing the BOB in a block of ice, I have to ask, on cold nights, do you plan on draining the tank, not necessary, or do you have a heating system?

I run a small space heater in my trailer at night. Just to keep the chill off

Looks sweet Jeremiah. Are you still carrying ladders? If so, what sizes and do you carry them in the back of the truck, or is there a rack for them on the top of the truck or trailer? I saw two hooks on the side wall of the trailer, is that for a ladder? What else are you going to carry in the trailer? I like how you have the water lines going through the side of the trailer.

Thanks bud!
I keep a smaller little giant in the truck bed and my big little giant stays home unless we are gonna need it. I don't hardly ever need extension ladders, I think two to three jobs last year total.
The trailer will still hold my WFP cart and the hooks are for my 17' WFP. I just want to speed things up a bit, that's why I added the side hook ups. I also have a pvc pipe bolted to the top of the trailer for my 50' pole. That 6' trailer fills up fast, not sure if there is room for my spare tire now! :0

We do the same, especially when left on jobs multiple days. For longer term (more than a week), we made a simple airhose adapter with a 1/4 turn valve to blow system dry (in reverse, so you don't contaminate any pure water hoses). Looks great!

It looks good! Looks like you'll have room and the option to add another pump/pole setup

I have a tank setup like that in my van. My only thoughts are: that's gonna get heavy if it's full- having the tank that far ahead of the axles may get risky when moving the trailer separate from the van; those two straps may not be enough to hold the tank down, also, make sure it doesn't shift over time. The other thing I did was to install a car battery in line that charges while the car is on and, when the car is off, it's disconnected from the system (main battery) when the pump is running - this way you can prevent a dead battery when you're ready to leave the house!
