Good.. Do yourself a favor.. Run the unit for awhile.. Do some cleaning with it to see if you like it.. I'm sure you will.. That's the mistake i made when buying the different portables.. I didn't test run them.. So was somewhat disappointed from the advertised hype..

300ft.. Well that might be true on CGD.. But not good dry times on residential carpets like nylon cut or loop.. nylon frieze.. it would be soak and wet.. Unless you run 100psi's..

Skip the van, buy a trailer and put an inexpensive truck mount in it. YOu can get the whole setup from Chemtex in Houston for about $13K with 200 feet of hose, chemicals, trailer, wand, stainless fresh and dirty water tank, hydraforce, tile cleaner,
 etc.....
If you are in Texas you probably own a pickup. Pull the trailer with you pickup and if the carpet business doesnt work out in a few months, then sell the trailer setup and move on.

Chem-Tex makes an intermediate truck mount for about 7k brand new, including reels, hoses and waist tank. I think its the green one called the panther. I have not heard much about them, but if you call them they seem to like to wheel and deal. I almost bought one, but went another direction. If your just staring up, portables or a used piece of equipment (depending on how handy you are) are not a bad idea, just to get you started and get some money coming in. Plus if you can keep your business running for about a year, it will develop credit and then you can lease a new one and sell off your used stuff. Good luck on you carpet cleaning adventure.
