If your battery is being charged by the truck, you can start the truck for that extra boost. Will usually yield about a 2-4' increase. Also get a 3' wand with a QC. You dont use it all the time, just when its needed. Doing both of those should get you 5-7 extra feet. Also you can get some 0030 tips and thatll get you a few more feet as well. But only use those when you need to so as to not put too much strain on the pump.
Its not how long it is, its how you use it!!!

Im talkin I want 60+ feet!
We run air pumps and from what i understand they perform similar to the 12 volts. I had made myself a fancy gun once but dropped it and it broke so now I just use a ball valve. A wand wouldnt be a bad idea on occasion.
Im actually thinking about buying a 12 volt pump to save a little space before next year. How are the flojets holding up to hard use?
I did that apartment complex with it and it worked fine. Then I did about 10 houses and it stopped working. I THINK it was getting a vapor lock because I could tap it with a screw driver and it would work fine, and when I finally decided to take it off, I forgot to flip the switch off and when I disconnected the discharge hose it kicked back to life instantly. Havent had time to test it further.
As for getting 60' while still maintaining a low enough pressure to be safe, good luck. Let me know when you find it and you'll be able to go ahead and quit cleaning.

I really like my allflo pump, but it's eating up alot of space in the trailer. I also don't like all the fumes of SH in the enclosed trailer.
I'm thinking about getting a small 5x8 open trailer and putting the allflo on it.
Then I'll put a flojet inside the enclosed just to have it. It would save a lot of space.

I absolutely LOVE my All Flo air pump. I have been through just about every 12 volt pump out there and have burned them all up. I still use a Delevan 5850 for transferring chems from tank to tank but the air pump does all of our Roof Cleaning work. Most of the spraying we do is done with a regular spray tip but for shooting long distances and up high we use a 0020, 0030 or a 0040. We can normally reach at least 30-40ft under good conditions. (No Wind) The air compressor does take up a little extra space but I was lucky enough to find a nice little spot left on my rig to tuck it into.
