Can I put a TM in my Astro Van?

[yasminreynolds]

I have the air hog /water hog, generator, diesel heater, hose reels in my astro currently. They get me great results.

It's probably going be early to mid next week before I can get the air hog re-wired since the plugs coming out are 'toasted' and 1 plug (vac motor and pump out) only works on and off. I couldn't finish my job today! First time ever thankfully the customer was understanding.

[FWIW I think I could solve the problem by having longer wires and plugs wired in that come out of the air hog about 6 feet vs 8" which is directly underneath where the unit leaks causing the plugs to be toast!]

Feeling confident to finance equipment with the way work has been going but.....I don't believe I can finance a truck and a TM!!!!! Plus I don't have a place to park a full size truck in the winter. I guess you could say I'm a little screwed!

thoughts or ideas? Im tapping into the universe here.

Thank you my fellow carpet cleaners!


* I guess an option is to buy a backup extractor of the same type that can be 'plugged-in' to my setup but
investing more into ETM's seems a bit counter productive.
Definitely a cheaper alternative though!

Wow, it sounds like you've got some impressive equipment on board already! I'm sorry to hear about the toasted plugs, but it's great that your customer was understanding.

As for financing a truck and TM, that can definitely be a challenge. Maybe you could look into renting or leasing options, or maybe even teaming up with another cleaner to share the costs.

In the meantime, it's great that you have a backup plan with a plug-in extractor. And if you ever need help with moving your equipment, have you considered reaching out to a professional removal company like getmanandvan.co.uk? They might be able to help take some of the stress off. Good luck and keep us updated!
