Default karcher 1800psi and foam cannon parts needed! HELP

so now i am super super confused...i have been reading for like 2 hours about this and i still don't know what to buy. i have been on every forum .i was all set with a setup of one of our forum members then they said check page 2 and it was a no go..but he said the foam gun was a no go and not foam cannon so i don't know what he his talking about now.

i just bought a brand new karcher 1800psi electric pressure washer after my husky 2000psi electric died out of the box.. it was surging and one of the attachment wands was leaking..what a POS..i was pissed..so i packed her up and took her back to HDepot and then bought the karcher at lowes..from what i saw on the display the GUN AND HOSE SUCK!!!!

please help me make my pressure washing foam dreams come true!!!! if you have any hot ladies interested let me know!!

please i can't search anymore i am dying for help!!!!

please help my 1800psi electric karcher find a better gun and hose that works with a foam cannon!!!

I am going crazy as you can all see please help!!!!!!!! i have seen like 3 different setups some say to use a few parts and have the part numbers then for the other parts an "i don't remember" or something..not very informative and extremely confusing!!!

karcher make a foamgun that attaches directly to the bayonet like the wand. It's $20 and is better than a gilmour, but not as good as the cam spray. The karcher one works with NO midifications.

i am interested in replacing the gun and hose anyway cause they are junk..so i figured whats 60 more plus 10 or so for the fittings..i just don't know what fittings and gun/hose to buy.

i thought the karcher foam attachment is a joke compared to a real foam cannon?

I bought one of the trigger guns and lances from Lowes to go with my Karcher. I also picked up a 50 foot braided hose with quick connects. Bought a few quick connects and hooked it up to my Karcher. It works like a charm.

I use the Karcher bayonett to 22mm adapter and a 22mm coupler I got from Pressureparts for $15. The Camspry comes with a 22mm to 3/8 adapter. It works excellant. The hose does suck, but it is quick and easy to disconnect the cannon and switch to a spray wand.
You only wrestle the hose for a minute or two to foam and rinse. No big deal.

I will turn up the part numbers again if anyone is interested.

If you can get the part #'s that would be great. I'm looking to use my camspray with my Karcher but don't have the $$ to drop on a new setup right now....this sounds like a great solution.

Thanks!
