We are in the process of developing specifications for a new engine/tanker.
Tentatively, it will be a custom cab, 2,000 gallon water tank, dual-rear axle. Think of it as an attack(scene) truck with a bigger than average water tank for a rural department.
In speaking with many vendors, we get a different answer from each of them for the following items:
Brakes - All disc, disc in front and drum in the back, or drum all around?
Rear Suspension - Air-ride, conventional leaf spring, or rubber block?
Pump - Hale, Waterous, or Darley?
Scene lighting - LED vs quartz/halogen?
Brand of hydraulic generator - Onan, Harrison, or Smartpower etc?
Please chime in and let us know your experience on any of the above items.
