I'm setting up my 1st trailer rig so I'm trying to figure out the best place to put my hose reels. I've looked through pictures of rigs, looked at the rigs you can buy. Some have the reels at the back, some have them on the side. What do you guys think? Pros and Cons. Thanks.

If it's residential on the side (passenger's side). If it's commercial, at the back.
When you do commercial (mostly flat work) you work it in sections of 200-250ft (depends on how long your hoses are), then you move the rig forward to the next section, dragging the hoses behind.
If it's residential, you park in front of the property and you don't move.
That's how I see it, others may have different opinions :)...
 
I do primarily residential, and the commercial that I DO do is apartments so it is all pretty much houses and apartments. Off the passenger side worked best for me but after re-doing my trailer, I had a friend weld a piece of steel about 10"x10" in the front corner of my trailer and mounted the reel on that. The hose comes off the front and so far, it works pretty good. Just another option.
 
I am with the others. Resedential on the side and comercial on the back. I currently have my supply hose on the side and the high pressure hoses on the back.
