Thought I’d upload a pics of the washer I’ve just made, it’s turned out pretty decent.
The water container was about £8 from Aldi, a couple of 10mm hose fittings and a pump kit off EBay, and I’ve used a cheap garden hose gun instead of the one that came with the pump kit.
It’s roughly on par with a mains hose pipe, shoots water about 20’
I’ve mounted the pump to a piece of Perspex bent into a rough curve with heat then siliconed to the water container.
Is that one of those ~£20 pump kits of Ebay? Friend has got one recently & they don't look too bad. A 25l water container & hook it up to my 12v point in the boot, seems better than the Mobi washer another has.
It is, and I think the container is 24L, any bigger and it would be heavy to carry around.
I got one of the same hooked up in the back of my van - motor attached to the sidewall, running a tube into a 20l petrol can. - they're great! not as powerful as a proper (bearing killer) pressure washer - so its fairly safe to use 🙂
Awesome.
I have one of the eBay ones and I've been well impressed with it.
You can also attach a shower head and have a lovely outdoor shower on your van. Nothing a like more than a naked wash with a view!
I built mine with a black 25litre plastic container, perfect for showers at the beach as it heats up nicely if left in the sun for a few hours

Would some be kind enough to post up links of the bits please. I could do with one of these to wash my caravan, since the storage has cut off the water supply.
Edit. Never mind, a quick look on ebay shows whole kits with all the bits needed.
