I'm still arranging my 2 week old baby, but here is my tentative set up.

No need for a softener Marty?

No. Our water is fine. I've never ever even had to descale a unit.

NO:
fans?
tarps/runners?
RE?
bonnets/pads
or are they all in the front seat?

No fans, although I am considering a couple of air-paths. No RE. I'll have one by spring. There are 4 tarps and wood floor runners on top of the right side shelves. There's also a Dyson just outside the frame. There are several different styles of bonnets and pads on the left side shelf, along with all my various encap spotters and solutions.
You'll get to pick and critique in Atlanta.
I'll have it wrapped in a couple of weeks.

Ya see, Taco. Unlike most of the highly excitable youngsters here, I've been around the block a time or two. I am well aware of the possibility that my love for my Cleanco could be a spring fling. Right now her boobs are perky and her breath is sweet. The true test comes over time.

at your age I assume "perky" means east or west rather than north...

I can still remember what perky looks like!

Custom built out of stainless.

The thing you were SO concerned about was heat.
How is the heat?
Its reliability is what you will rave about in a few years.
Looks like a sweet set up Marty, but I'm kinda young and excitable.

It took me about 10 years to decide to buy a direct drive. Over those years, I tried to contact as many DD owners as possible.
I think I talked to less than 10.

Only because the others wouldn't return your call.

Marty sent me a PM or 2 back in the Spring. I really tried to shoot him straight as I believe him to be a (sometimes misguided 
) straight shooter on here.
Really looking forward to hearing what you think of your new money maker Marty!

I always try to help Porkfool but he NEVER listens to me! NOOO that fooker does his own thing and then complains!sometimes misguided
He should be good with that unit and since it came from his people that was the smart move for him. Someone must have told him whut to do, he couldn't have come up with it on his own.
I know it doesn't address the OP question of organization, but for anyone on the fence trying to make the decision of jumping to DD, I can tell you:
Without question, my revenue per hour on the TM has increased significantly since switching to the new 1200. I attribute this to (of course) more flow, heat, and vacuum, but also the organizational layout. If no customer stroking is needed we can be cleaning within 4 minutes of pulling up to a job.
Never say never, but I can't see myself switching back to a slide in.

I have heard that direct drives have less heat than slide ins.
Also heard that these direct drives heat from the radiator and tweek the heat sensor
To allow more heat to run thru the engine and the radiator.
This could cause more wear on the engine- just saying .
Welcome feedback from those who know more abou this.

Scott,
If I wasn't a dinosaur, I'd take some pictures and learn how to load them and all. 2020-ish?
If Ray (from Carpet Maintenance Supply) wasn't too lazy ( ), maybe he'd have taken some pictures.
I'll describe:
Simple, practical, spacious.

- Mine is in a regular size GMC van (Not extended. Parking is an issue in the city.)
- Since I carry rugs pretty frequently, I needed one side that is long enough to accommodate a few rugs. Therefore the left side (looking from back to front) does not have shelves.
- On that side, I had them install a few 2x4 going up to the ceiling, and some 1x2 going parallel (like a ladder) . Therefore I can hang and attach tons of things to these sides and still have the space for the rugs.
- On the other side I bought a deep three tier stainless steel shelving unit that accommodates tons of chemicals and tools.
- Got an electric hose reel right next to the machine. That also allows me to tie a portable to it.
Simple, practical, spacious.
