Trailer Mounted Pressure Washer Water Tanks
Trailer pressure washers come in a variety of configurations. Some come without a water tank included, so if you plan on purchasing such a model make sure the size of your tank conforms to the load rating of the trailer.
Single-axle trailer mounted pressure washer trailers usually carry water tanks which hold 200 to 300 gallons of water.
Double-axle trailer pressure washers carry heavier loads, upwards of 500 gallons. It's important to read the specs and choose a hot water pressure washer trailer carefully. These items are considered special orders and are often non-returnable.
It's better to purchase a trailer mounted pressure washer that comes with the water tank included to avoid problems with size and shape compatibility, load rating, and other factors. It's also a good idea to check the highway laws in your state in case you need to purchase accessories to make the trailer "street-legal," such was add-on brake lights, reverse lights, or warning flags. You may be able to purchase these accessories when you place your trailer mounted pressure washer order.

Trailer Mounted Pressure Washer Tire Changing
Trailer pressure washers have the tire issues that any vehicle does, and at some point you will need to change a tire, or replace the set. When replacing trailer tires, your replacements need to be rated for the maximum load the trailer is able to hold. If you have overloaded tires carrying a trailer mounted pressure washer, you will eventually bend an axle or experience tire failure. Once you have the right tires selected for the trailer, loosen, but don't completely unscrew the lug nuts or screws holding the tire in place. Then elevate the trailer and change one tire at a time by completely removing the lug nuts or screws, putting on the new tire, tightening the bolts, and lowering the trailer. Changing trailer pressure washer tires includes tightening the bolts once more after the entire job is finished. Never trust the tightened bolts unless you have re-tightened them once all four wheels are firmly on the ground.

Trailer Mounted Pressure Washer Maintenance
If you need to repair or do maintenance on a trailer pressure washer, it is very important to keep the pressure washer engine surface free from fuel and oil, especially when the engine is hot. This prevents a fire hazard, and health problems associated with fumes from smoldering oil. Disconnect the trailer pressure washer spark plug and keep the heavy-duty wire clear of the plug during maintenance. Be sure you are properly grounded, when dealing with fuel or oil. A metal trailer can conduct electricity and create a spark which can ignite gas fumes. Standing on a rubber mat while doing your maintenance around the trailer can help prevent a spark from static electricity discharge. If you need to refill the trailer pressure washer's engine after maintenance, fill it in a well-ventilated area and do not overfill the tank.

Trailer Pressure Washer Tires
Tires are an important feature to examine before buying a trailer pressure washer. If the trailer tires do not roll easily or aren't well lubed, you may have difficulty transporting your trailer mounted pressure washer. Portability is the number one reason to buy a trailer pressure washer in the first place, so if the tires and support chassis are iffy, you will wind up feeling cheated because of transportation issues. A separate problem with trailer pressure washers is weight distribution over the length of the trailer. Never buy a top-heavy unit if you plan on moving the trailer frequently. A top-heavy unit can be dangerous to transport, especially when taking corners. The tires may hold up, but the weight of a top-heavy unit can cause the tires to leave the pavement, a major transportation safety problem.

What Should I Know About My Trailer Mounted Pressure Washer Warranty?
A trailer pressure washer has several separate components that may be covered under different warranties. Be sure to ask your dealer whether the trailer, hot water pressure washer and the trailer mounted pressure washer engine are handled by the same warranty or guarantee. You may discover that the engine is a completely different issue from the rest of your pressure washer and may require using a different service center for engine issues. Be sure you know what the exact terms of your warranty are before you encounter problems with your unit. You could spare yourself the hassle of a trip to an authorized repair center that handles all aspects of your trailer pressure washer except the engine.

Trailer Mounted Pressure Washer Options
When buying a trailer mounted pressure washer, there are many options to consider besides the size, power and durability of the hot water pressure washer system itself. For example, trailer options include 13-inch or 15-inch tire sizes, 12-volt or 24-volt trailer lights, electric or hydraulic brakes, and much more. Don't be surprised at more expensive options with larger and heavier trailer mounted pressure washers. Heavier units may require a particular braking system, and you may need a trailer hitch option customized for your vehicle. In cases like these, the additional expense is worth the investment. You may be tempted to go with a more lightweight, single axle solution, but if pressure washer needs dictate a more powerful unit, don't skimp on the size and power. You can't coax additional cleaning performance out of a smaller unit, and you should never put a large unit on a smaller trailer not rated to handle the load.
