I run a truck mount in a 6 X 12 trailer now. It has its ups and downs. You can un hook the van and do other things with it for sure which is cool. Pulling the trailer makes me a gas hog though, and I just recently replaced an axle on the trailer from forgeting about some curb sticking out that I hit with a full freshwater tank and bent the axle. Its a pain to park at customers homes in tight corners but all in all its a cool set up despite the pitfalls. Everyone says now that carbon monoxcide from the exhaust is causing truck mount guys to fall asleep at the wheel after a carpet clean job or just get groggy behind the wheel, and that you should mount the system in a trailer. Any insite on this??? ------------- I can remove more spots than you can. |

I can't remember anything they are talking about since I had my pro chem 100 back in the 80's. Since steamers slide in has been worn out for the last few years no wonder it stinks ------------- Just My opinion |
