I like the backpack idea. Would be good for spraying weeds.

He mentioned degreasing/degunking the radiator fins on the MH.

The previous sprayer broke when it fell off the house roof, so apparently there is/was something he needs it for up there.

I don't ask...I just shop. (And keep the first aid bin stocked.)

yep, $50?, I didn't spend much more than that for my backpack one. IMHO sprayers are a disposable item. buy cheap, throw them away. of course I put chlorine in them so they need lots of rinsing.

Just curious..what do you use this for on your RV??

B.O.

two gallons of liquid is too much weight for this old guy. my back tells on me.

Check Harbor Freight - HF has 'em, but haven't tried theirs (yet).

That's a good point. I am planning on hauling it up the ladder to the roof.

I use these sprayers at work and around the house. I've found that the one gallon size is best for me as the contents weigh less. I sometimes am carrying one up a ladder. If I am doing a bigger spray job around my single acre residential lot, I'll mix up a few gallons of spray in a bucket and supply the sprayer with that.

Unless you buy a high-dollar model with Viton seals (like your Solo), bleach and caustic soaps eat them up in short order. If I need a new one, I shop sales at the Big Box stores.

That sounds handy. I'd be wary of absent-mindedly over-pressurizing it and blowing it up.
