And we call her "Christine".

Our newest Butler Truckmount carpet cleaning unit light show feature.

More to come of the actual cleaning unit....

She was a problem getting to us....

First shipping company didn't pick her up (we are 3 weeks behind)

Second shipper, blew transmission going to get her...rebuilt and installed the transmission...it didn't work! Got a second one and installed it....

On the road....2 brand new tires (special size also) blew out!

Finally got her here and she put up a bit of a fight also getting her scheduled for her extras that have been waiting to be installed (and paid for) for a month....

Enjoy the show for now...more on the cleaning unit as I finish it....

I miss seeing that two colored blue hose. What's up the orange hose Mark? You really disappointed me.
Ordering snafu and didn't have time to correct it... This hose ended up getting misplaced too...

Went to Virginia Beach for 3 weeks before tracking it down... Then discovered the orange on Blue didn't get done.

Christine at work....

Not sure about the lights but I really like the back-up camera screen and navigation you added. Where did you order that?

We wired into the back up camera that was in the back door...actually then we still have the back up camera in the mirror and the Kenwood stereo GPS system going at the same time.

You can also add a separate back up camera eye if you don't have one on the vehicle...AND on our 2011 we added a reverse camera that was part of the top high middle brake light system...that was cool also and even had night vision!

We have the little image that is in the review mirror but it's really small.
I like the bigger monitor and the navigation system right there. Will be looking into this.

A lot of electronic items...the Kenwood Stereo system is nice because of the GPS, Backup Camera, Bluetooth (which I don't tap into much) it has all kinds of options. I added LED lights to the front and really love those...did high and low beams....added an off road light bar to shine the road up with all the deer around while driving in the back roads on way home. Of course the lights inside and out added...person could get some benefit just with inside lights as they light everything up.

For the Butler, just the nice 2.5 inch Y Splitter Butler is now doing for us (Saiger Version) and the 2.5 inch (or can do 2 inch) in the front holder for that bypass hose.

Rear waste clean out as usual....insulated....

I will try and get pics of everything and video tour soon.

Trying to wrap up a few details on it so can show.

it has incredible heat...we are thinking maybe even more than my 2015 we had in Vegas.

Loving it a lot right now!

I got info on how to use the camera on them...and be able to use the In dash screen and the little back up camera in the mirror.

It took my guy sometime to figure this out and he shared with me to share with others....good guy

Tap into Positive and negative on rear view mirror.
RCA cable in back of radio.
Solder to RCA hookups on radio wires.
Plug and go
