It has a 6" stack, where I do all my meat smoking, 550,000 btu's of heat for the truck to keep my equipment nice & hot. Wood pellets that feed the burner through a hopper keep this fireplace going for 12 hours straight............greatest thing any carpet cleaner can have during the winter months.

I got the design plans from Ted @ KleenKuip

Leaving your equipment, including the Rotovac, in the truck overnight during winter when temperatures stay above 25 degrees Fahrenheit should generally be fine. Just be cautious about potential freezing, as it could harm hoses and valves. Also, consider the possibility of condensation and take steps to manage moisture to prevent issues like mold or corrosion.

Adding a protective covering, like a tarp or insulation, can offer extra defense against the cold. Check the specifications of your cleaning solutions, as some may not perform well in extremely low temperatures. If your equipment has a battery, ensure it's adequately charged and consider removing it for storage in milder conditions if needed.

Regular inspections for wear or damage caused by the weather are crucial. If you have specific concerns about certain components, referring to the manufacturer's guidelines or reaching out to their customer support might provide tailored insights for your equipment.

It also helps to ask your repair technician questions regarding your equipment. You can gain a lot of information and knowledge from these types of people.
