Do any of you full timers carry a high pressure water cleaner with you? good for cleaning the Barbie, and the vehicles. Fitted mine in the ute yesterday, just mentally debating on its worth, or is it dead weight.

Hi, I got a quote to transport my Spaceland scenic caravan from Wollongong to Perth on a drop deck trailer (due to the length 10.8 Metres it needed this).
