Ken: I am still not convinced that it is cheaper to run a 350 chevy or whatever for less than a 2 or 4 cylinder unit on a slide in . Those are also costs weather they are repairs or not.

well I know why SG your truck lasted so long... you don't do much work... my cleano works 6 days a week on average 36 jobs a week... trust me it breaks down... over the last year I've dropped 12 grand into the truck including 2 trannies... with my slide in... in the last year I've spent $0.00 only oil changes same amount of daily work...

Mr. Steamer: I think you need another slide in. That cd doesn't make the balance sheet look to impressive.

Ken: Mr. Steamer needs that tm that dosen't require maintenance and dosen't breakdown that you have.

Steamer: You are right about the working hours on my unit. 10 hours per week average for the last 3 years. They do last a long time when used like that. No doubt. Any decent unit would.

I know what you mean Mr Steamer. Until 5 years ago when I changed my full time job over to manufacturing and sales from carpet cleaning; I used to put in 2000 hrs per year on the TM myself over about 300 working days per year. Works out to the same 6.5 hours per day you run now.

You need guys you can trust for sure. I couldn't stop the CC myself until I hired my nephews to do the work. Then i sold them 51% of it so that they would keep doing it right without me needing to babysit them.
