Shorty,
I had similar dilemma. I made the decision to ditch my larger machine and customized a simple ,older ,smaller 10 gallon portable chasis to fit my needs. I went with a small 200 psi pump. And great vac.. I can run 50 ft 2" hose no problem. I can carry in my 5x8 trailer , ramp, cimex, duplex, brush pro, vac, orbital, 175, portable, 55 gallon water drum, sprayer, hose and accessories. I chose to ditch the 1 ton 8-10 miles a gallon and use ford escape with trailer. Yes it's tight, Of course I don't always travel with all that equipment just depends on that days work. When I have long distance jobs or jobs I only need crb or whatever, it's just the ford and no trailer.I prefer the trailer to advertise and the whole dog and pony show thing! No more big tm for me, I enjoy my free time with a lot less repair and maintenance.
