keep your units from freezing up in the winter up there in the frozen areas...I'm in the south...Georgia, and we usually have fairly mild winters...mostly low to medium 30's...sometimes it dips into the 20's and teens...I just put a small electric heater in my truck and have had no problems

well Magicman Rick... my trucks are insulated with foam and parked inside out of the elements...I take the hoses and wand if the temp dips below -20*c.... if gets as cold at -40 I might put a heater on it... but once the truck has been foamed and you keep it out of the cold wind... it has to get pretty cold to do any damage |

I was lucky in that we were able to take all our TM's off the truck and leave them over-nite in a small heated garage. Next morning; load them up and run.

Steamer;
No, ours were on wheels so we could easily roll them out. However, once in the truck, they were ankored down by metal turn buckels.

Hey Ed not a bad idea... could that work with a ramp???? I have a two car garage.... one side is for my truck... the other side is small and can only hold my car... my wife has to park out side in the winter... I have to get up at 5 am to start and clean off her Van... never seen anything like what your talking about...this could be a life saver |

Hydra Master slide units used to be on a frame with wheels. It made repairs easier.

lol, nightrider...you need to come down in July and August...when it's gets into the 100's with a 79% humidity...that's when you see a dog chasing a cat...and they are both walking

Rick, I 've been in your neck of the wood many times, I lived in Savannah for almost a year and Valdosta for 5 months. The worst place I'v lived was in Alabama, it's hard to breath there on a hot humid day,but the people are really nice, there I lived in Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, and Andalusia. nightrider

Steamer;
Absolutely it can work. In fact, you can even purchase a inexpensive winch that can stay in the van that will guide it down a ramp; or up it very easily!!!!

Rick, while I lived in Alabama, I had a childrens wear manufacture here in Montreal under the name of " Penny Lane "( took it from the Beatles song ) I used to copy designs from American manufactures make afew changes and introduce them into the Canadian market. I just fell in love with Alabama, the life style, and that special culture of its own. Georgia's nice too but it's not Alabama. Another nice place I lived was El Paso Texas, I used to love going over the bridge into Cludad Juarez Mexico, nobody has brakes on their cars in Mexico , what a place............. nightrider |
