That’s another thing, how can an enclosed trailer be plumbed to the buffer tank without drilling holes, even if I do manage to get a skid mount by some miracle?
Put the tank inside of the trailer where it belongs and mount a tool box where it was.
Build some shelving and store vertically. Wall mount what you can. Store surface cleaner on ceiling. Get creative.

It’s a work trailer. Drill, cut, add RV doors. Anything that will help effeciency.

I won’t be able to sell it if I decide to upgrade at some point.
For now I really do need to work with what I have, there’s just no feasible way to blow more money on this as it’s my add-on service. Maybe I can move stuff around and make it more efficient but for now, it is…what it is.
Now the buffer tank thing, I guess install some HD tiedowns and mount it lengthwise inside the trailer? Is that the idea? I don’t really have a problem where it is save for having my wife and I heft the machine out every time.

Replace that braided hose, use noncolapsible
Yes I’d move the buffer tank to the rear of the trailer and strap it down. Add some shelves to the wall or walls and some hooks to hang stuff. Have a dedicated spot for hoses, chems, surface cleaner, window cleaning stuff, and machine. Hang a PW hose reel next to the garden hose reel when you can buy one, and you’re pretty much good to go.

When you say ‘rear’, you mean front towards the tongue?
Yup. You can also place some shelving above it or some sort of table if you can squeeze it in.
If you can fit some sort of table above it, you could screw these 2 bins on it and clear up a lot of room
I gotcha. Lengthwise toward the ‘back’, shelves above and on the side.
Now would this permit me to keep the machine inside or do we still need to lift it out every time? Not sure how I would use the pull cord that way…

He won’t be traveling with water I’m assuming.

No, just filling up on site…although i can’t rule out the possibility of doing a quick small job with the 50 gallons it holds. I’m sure the trailer can handle 400# over the axle.
Keep the machine in the trailer. Take the top of the handle off and put the machine in front of the door to the right with the exhaust facing outward and leave enough room for you to pull the cord (like 2inchs away from the wall). Does that make sense with the way your machine is?
Yeah, I see what you’re saying. Mount it sideways in front of the tank. I’m guessing a skid mount would go there as well, then plumb to a hose reel.
I hope the machine can be fed as well being level with the tank, right now it’s got that fat hose dropping down some from the ball valve.
I’d put the machine where the blue container and cone are. I’d like to say it will feed your machine just fine because it’s the weight of the water that makes it flow out so quick but I’m not 100% sure. I’d just make sure the tank has a good amount of water in it before starting the machine. You could also run your hose from the garden hose reel along the wall to the tank. Doing those things should leave you with some room to play with. You might not even have to mount down the skid that your washer is on. I’m assuming it would stay put while transporting and while it’s running. What do you think?
Yes as close as you can to the wall without it being a hassle to pull the cord. How much height do you have in the trailer approx?
I’d keep it there and bolt it. A PW reel next to it would be great.
