I saw a video on Jeremy Reet Built Tough page from the Experience that showed a 70's style TM and some dude in a T-shirt with the alphabet as big as his back was getting wood all over it.

The dude was speaking so fast I had to tape it and replay it at half speed just to understand him. :winky:

Jeezzz talk about a giant step backwards. What is wrong with this industry one step forward and two steps back. Diamond Plate and a red oil barrel...oh my! :eekk:

Where is Larry, he'd love that video. lol

The design you speak of was not original. Actually someone found it with better tank set up...

So I am sure the new build is of course still an idea he had.... And he just makes things better....

Uhhh huhh
:winky:

Oil barrel "Why not paint it red, yeah RED!"
"Add some Diamond Plate too!"


Seriously I'm sure its a sturdy design the simple units have been around for decades.
But man, that's old skool! :shifty:

I guess that would work. I personally prefer the big Butler tank size.

We can't pump sewage its has to go to sanitary plus I'm not fond of pumping waste water in the winter. Worried about creating an ice slick.

Why would you depend solely on a pumpout? What happens when it breaks? It’s not a simple setup anymore.

And from the pictures, it looks like there’ll be rust in them water hoses soon

Ive asked about the sirroco before...seemed like a good idea...i thought those tanks are reinforced.
The price of buying the vacuum setup, the water pump setup, and a fuel heater is well over $16k. For the price, why wouldn't you just get a prochem legend and not worry about anything and have more space in your van?

How was the show mark?

Attendance?

Content?

It was OK.

Always good to see people in the industry.

Show will never be as big as Vegas show (time of year) but overall good.

My brother and I didn't get a chance to do more than the displays as we were at Harvard Chemical each morning for meetings.

Lots of people were looking for Zipper wand, Conway Wand.

I avoided the outside as much as possible to avoid drama from an individual... (still didn't really work)

Met with lots of people in the displays. Could say it was hard to sometimes make it more than 5 steps without seeing someone and engaging in conversation and then not moving for quite sometime from that spot as others would come by and join in conversation.

So for me a lot of shows it's about meeting and greeting and sharing. Definitely did that.

I don't know overall real numbers from the show but I think overall comments were satisfactory from people who were displaying.
