I am currently saving up to start working for myself and cleaning carpets around town, and I have been looking at the available options. Currently my budget is limiting me to buying a portable extractor. Im only 20 so I dont have enough credit to get a truckmount, nor do I want to be in debt starting out. I know that truckmounts are superior to portables. But like I said, my budget.... Well here is my idea: Purchase a recoil 2 and add a vac booster. I will be picking up a generator, so no need to worry about blown circuits. I am also going to install water tanks in my truck so I wont have to get water from customers, one for fresh water, one for dirty water. I plan on leaving the portable in the truck, so I can dump and fill easily. Would this be a plausible idea? The only thing left in question now is heat. What would be the best method of heat with this setup? |

Used ninja 250 - $800 5500 watt generator - $400 Water tanks - $200 Vac booster - $800? Total - $2200 TM - $10,000+? Where can I find a truck mount for 2-3 thousand dollars? |

OUCH!!!
"USED" Ninja??? Buddy just go get a factory job man. also, you CAN get a second hand TM for less than 10K. all that junk you're going to buy you wont need later and will not be able to sell. just get a new Ninja and take it into the house like everybody else does and or did. also get a 15" floor buffer to scrub in the pre spray or Shampoo from Chemspec. |

LOL It dosent have to be used. and it dosent have to be a ninja. My idea is getting a powerfull portable to mimic a truckmount, and only take it off the truck when necessary. I just cant afford to drop 10 grand on a truckmount. |

a19;
I'm a little confused here as well. I thought you mentioned a RECOIL-2; then you stated a ninja. Although the RECOIL-2 is our mid-range machine and has exceptional power, A RECOIL-2 is not a ninja. I would also suggest that you save up a little more money and purchase a much powerful Portable/TM because this will actually cost you a lot less in the long....and short run. Take my suggestion because you won't be sorry. The very best to you and your dreams; ED Valentine cross-american corp. |

| You can buy a Timbucktoo for $650 and save the rest for a TM. That is if you want a TM. |
