Paul you certainly did the leg work, now go out and make some cash.

Hey! Thanks! It seems like it's taken forever to get to this point. I'll post some pictures soon.

Chuck, you hit the nail right on the head. I need to make that thing cough-up the loot it's been swallowing (and then some!).
 
Paul, sounds cool!

One comment. Not sure if you will be running water directly to machine(s), but if you are you may want to look at 3/4 inch hoses instead of the 5/8. The pressure drop difference over a long distance is quite significant.

Knock em dead! B2
 
Bill, the 5/8" hose is just commercial grade garden hose that runs from the reel to a on-site tap.

Everything in front of the reels, which sit at the back of the trailer is either 2", 1", or 3/4". There's a 2" supply/drain valve coming off the tank. Reduced to a 1" two way valve on the supply side. Reduced to 3/4" at the main 3 way valve that controls the fresh water valve and washer supply valves/lines, which are also 3/4".
 
Good luck Paul, sounds like you got some good equipment. The insurance isnt cheep but wise too have. Rick ps- I have been using 3/4 hose for a couple of month with no problem. jest installed quick connect fittings too it recently, speeded up the tear down set up time, less twisting except at the faucet.
