First truck mount!! what do you think...

The fact that very few carpet cleaners install a TM in trailers tells you not to do it. It's hard enough to find one parking space today and with a trailer you need two back-to-back.

You may be careful and know how to handle a trailer but an employee is a totally different situation. Your insurance will also go through the roof. Give it a second thought.

Now that you have the TM cheap buy a Rotovac and you will have the cleaning world by the tail. Don't wear yourself out wanding. Rotovac is a better way.

yes rotovac is to slow use pre spray and elbow grease

    yes we prespray all the time more so where needed .you love it when they think the carpet is to far gone to clean and you clean it they just don,t belive it .
but you don,t want to much of that in the jobs more time to clean .
you see we dont charge any more clean dirty all the same.
it,s crazy but it works we say we don,t charge spotting .
really no need most come out just from the prespray .
as far as the truck mount well i like the larger 4 ceil. better longer life you use the same amount of gas .
the air cooled runs at max for it to run right the other runs above an idale maby 2000 rpm where as air cooled runs about 3600 rpms .
parts wear so things brake thats how it is .
as far as the blower is the duile sling better than sealed berings.
they say they are going to start a standered they must meet to pass as a truck mount .there are a lote of garbige out there they try to sell.
it has most of the parts but will it hold up do what they say or does it fall short of all the above .
no the truck mount does not sell the job on its own but helps to have some thing nice to show your custemer talk it up when most of the guys have littel air cooled truck mounts .
and they do such a bad job most of the time .
hay my english sucks but that not what i do for a liveing or i should say my spelling .

Hi there

Im looking at purchasing a Liberty or Freedom Truckmount (powerclean) does anyone know if they are a good machine? The other thing is here in Australia we pay way to much for truckmounts. A Freedom truckmount here costs us $37,000 aus or $33,000 american.  Would it be worth importing these machines?

Any advice would be greatly apprecitated
