Just getting started and have a great mentor

[Chuck Shew]

I am pretty new to Mikey' Board and have not really posted. I am brand new to carpet cleaning, I recently purchased my van with an Inferno Unit, I am currently laying it out differently. Tom King and I started talking a while back and when he told me he offered consulting services I jumped on board. Now Tom is helping me with everything from laying out my van to how to clean and marketing. I am so excited, I just can't wait to get started.
When I bought my van Tom looked at the layout and said "What if you did it this way?" So now I'll have both solution and vacuum lines coming out the back, the fresh water tank weight is more evenly distributed. I am correcting some things the former owner changed on the unit, like using the wrong hoses and wiring.

Here is the newly re-installed Inferno. I moved the water tank from the side to behind the seats, I sprayed a bed liner material down after removing the molded carpet.

I just got official notice today that my name (coming soon) was available and now belongs to me. Once we get the logo finalized I'll be learning how to market.
One thing I did learn will working with Tom is there is a whole lot more to learn working with Tom!
My sincere appreciation to Tom King.

Here is how to get a slide out, out.

Welcome a board Chuck!

You found a great mentor in Tom, pay him what ever he asks and pay real close attention to this forum and you'll do great things in the world of rug sucking.

You couldn't ask for a better mentor/consultant, Chuck, than Tom King. No doubt his advice will save you boatloads of time and money while getting underway. Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of CC. Get yourself in top physical shape, the work is hard and grueling at times but worth it.

Welcome to Satan's forum! It's kind of like the Hotel California!

I couldn't tell from the picture how you got that thing out of your van.

Let me know if Tom advises you to have donuts on hand.

Doofus a crowbar and a few pipes make moving a unit fairly easy. Who is the real rookie?

You're smart to be looking for help early in the game. Good luck to you. MB has been a huge help to me recently, saving tons of time, aggravation, $$$$.

Almost midnight and I just got home from the gym!

I don't really think they should be called slide outs, grunt outs maybe! To get it out I pulled next to the porch which happened to almost be the same height,then I just started pulling it out, yes it was heavy but getting it in was twice as hard. There was nothing to use for leverage.
