So many people will have made tailor-made adjustments to their water fed pole systems, which perhaps will make their day to day lives easier. Perhaps the most frustrating thing about having a van mount system, is the time it takes to set up and get started, and then move bits and bobs about whilst on a job. So this is the main reason why people will customize their kit, to reduce the amount of time faffing about. Of course there's various useful bits of kit you can buy, if you're not comfortable creating something for yourself or perhaps just don't have the time to mess about tweaking the systems and make alterations. One of my favourite bits of external kit outside the system is to lay down perpendicular red plastic triangles that you can place on corners of things to stop your trailing hose getting snagged.
Other people will focus on the internal system and getting it running as best as they can. They may drill holes in the back of the van to allow their system pipe to come out so that it can be connected to a hozelock connector and trailing hose. Others will bolt down their hose reels to the van floor so that they never have to take the hoses out. However, if you're gonna do this, make sure you test some positions before actually comitting, and when you do this make sure that the hose reels won't budge. There are many ways you can tailor make your kit so that your overall system runs better, and less time is wasted. It's really a case of trial and error. But once you find something that works well, it can be very satisfying.
