When keeping the truckmount outside in the cold temps. I run 1-3 ceramic heaters in my truck. When talking with butler, they instructed me to keep the hot water convenience valve open at night. It is safer for the system. Its going down to 2 tomorrow. Just wanted to pass this tip on. Ron

I have insulated the floor for my solution hoses, and insulated the APO and fresh water hoses that run along the inside walls of the van. They have iced up when driving to a job in this nasty weather. I've also insulated under the water softener tanks that sit on the van floor. But the TM and van sit in a 40* garage, nice and warm for the next day.

I hate winter in the NE....

Right now at 6:40 am it's -6°F Feels Like -18°F and I have a job this morning, going to wait until around 9am to head out, it should be about -1°F Feels Like -12°F. It's an empty rental and they want to get in it rented Friday.

Keep those trucks buttoned up real tight.
