run water to them from a big water drum, rather than use a hose pipe?

i have got a gen to power one, but where i live i have no chance to get a hose pipe.

Yes there are electric ones that will run from a water container. Check the Autobrite online shop or post up on detailing world. The guys there will point you in the right direction. Iirc, some of the kranzle ones will pull the water through from the water tanks.

Karcher do a pipe to allow use from a barrel. Once I sort the barrels for the down pipes I will be getting one.

depends on how much you want to spend , i have a karcher HD 6/13 plus , i also have a tank in my van and it works no problem at all price was around £450
the kranzle machines are excellent , the one above is designed to pull from a tank but most of the other range dont plus youve got to lay them down to operate , plus service centres are few and far between , reason i went for the karcher i have a service centre 5 miles from the house

Most of the better Karchers (£150 plus) will pull from a tank, as long as you use a non-return hose.
