I run a 13 gal tank on my trailer, I recommend at least 11 or so gals, I also carry a 1 gal gas can in my tool box so if I run out I can still go another hr or so.
Steve,
The reason that the truclkmount is installed in the trailer the way it is, is when installing a unit in a trailer, it is recommended not to have more than 200 pounds tongue weight. As you can see in the photos, it has a 200 gallon water tank weighing roughly 1600 pounds, plus the large recovery tank capacity of a 120 gallons of a TNT, adding an additional roughly 900 pounds when full. I mount machines in a lot of different configurations. Sometimes guys want to carry a roll of carpet, so I'll move the machine to the front or the reel to the front to give room for the carpet roll. It just depends on how much weight we have to redistribute.[/quote:1vt9bc6r]
just about every trailer I have ever messed with including the uhaul trailers clearly state a minimum of 15% of the load to the front so to meet that spec you need about 400 pounds minimum on the tongue. if this is a problem with the trailer I think you need a different kind of trailer if it can only handle 200 on the tongue, I bet mine fully loaded is at least 700#'s or so. mounting to the back wastes a ton of space, my suggestion is move the unit to the front leave about a foot space to the front wall mainly to be able to work on the machine, mount reels to the left which would leave the water tank to mount right over the axles. it would leave some room to get to chemicals and load equipment. the same can be said for a box truck
