You can find a 3.2 Spitfire on this site under used equipment (Truck Mounts).
 
I am sure the owner would be willing to take it out of the Van and sell it separately.  Only problem now would be to get it down under.

stainsaway,
 
Believe me, when purchasing a truckmount take in consideration the integrity of the seller and what kind of mechanical after-service he is capable of and do they have experience behind a 1-800 number. With most truckmounts you are going to need it unless you are very mechanically inclined. Now, don't let this discourage you from buying a truckmount as personally I would never go back into carpet cleaning without one.
 
Also don't let gas prices 'can' your decision. We will all learn and pay for the high cost of gas. How many people really stop smoking because of the high price of tobacco?

Additionally, I will be in the business for the long haul. So I think it is is my best interest to start with a truck mount. This is not something I wanted to rush into. I now have a full year or 10 months to investigate things even further.

Thanks Again.

 
 
Well maxima what did you get...?  Just curious.. Almost 1.5yrs has passed..

    Maxima i have been reading your questions and other peoples replies, i have been cleaning for almost 1 year and have done pretty good. I have out 850 hours on a Boxxer 421 in 10 months, i can tell you buying a portable to do resturant business you'd have to be crazy, i spoke with another cleaner who has been in business for 18 months and he is phoning previous customers and not getting return business because he uses a portable, he cleans 1200 sq feet and it takes 4 hours he charges approx $ 200.00 for the job i can do the same job in 1.5 hours and also charge $ 200.00 basically he can do 1/2 the jobs in one year so lets say for easy numbers i can do 1000 hours in 1 year that equals $ 100,000. ( $ 100 per hour x 1000 hours ) if my competition can do 1000 hours times $ 50.00 per hour equals $ 50,000.00 you tell me if a TM is worth your time. If your serious about getting return busines get a truck mount if you want to work part time and not get repeat customers use a protable

    Maxima i forgot to add you don't have to buy a new Van, i bought a 6 x 12 trailer had a aluminmum tank mounted on the front of the trailer and out a slide in TM into it. Trailer's run approx $ 3000.00. probably only will work if you not in a hugh city as parking could be an issue
