How long are your hoses and ladders?

Almost the same as Chris.
We keep 200 foot of pressure hose on the trailer with 100 feet extra in the Tahoe.

100 foot fill hose on the reel with an extra 100 in the Tahoe.

20' and a 6' step ladder stay on trailer at all times. Will bring the 28' aluminum if I have a two-story roof to clean.
 
I keep 400 feet of high pressure hose in the trailer, although I generally only need 200 feet for house washes.

250 feet of filler hose for the water tank.

I keep the hose coiled and use velcro straps with the carabiners to attach them to the walls inside the trailer. Keeps them organized and easy to get to.

I also keep a 16 foot fiberglass extension ladder and a 24 foot aluminum extension ladder with leg levelers in the the trailer. I have a 40 foot aluminum ladder at the shop, but it rarely gets used.
 
Thanks everyone. I think I will get a 200ft reel and 200ft pressure hose.I am still on the fence on the 32' ladder. Not even sure if I have the guts to climb that high yet. Have not done that in about 15yrs
 
You can always find ladders at pawn shops in good condition if you don't want to spend that kind of money for new, I never have.

I have bought a 12 step ladder for $100, 24' fiberglass extension ladder for $100, many of the 8' aluminum and fiberglass ladders for $35-45 each and all were almost new.
 
We carry a 24ft aluminum extension ladder, and a little giant ladder that extends up to 18 ft. But I would recommend a little giant to have on the trucks at all times. It doesn't take up much space when it is small but it comes in useful for high areas of houses and other random things you need it for. I buy all my ladders from Craigslist. We got like 5 ladders and 2 of them are Little Giants. The fit great on the trucks.
 
I keep forgetting about Craigslist.
 
If the job is realbig and the custy will pay for a lift rental i will go and rent a tow behind zoom boom lift, they come in 35 and 60' hrights. they are real eazy to pull and set up in mins...Rental for a day runs approx 250 to 300.00...if you can find a rent to own or leasing company to finance the lift it is well worth while if you have enough buz to justify the purchase...
