Even if Legend Brands and Hydramaster were still around, I would buy the Steam Way Powermatic Legacy 2200. There was a time a few years back when I wasn’t so sure, but since Dave Nalley took ownership of Steam Way International about a decade ago, the company is on solid ground now and for the future.
My wife and I took a road trip this month. Went to Denver for an Akita specialty dog show, Rocky Mountain National Park, then off to Wyoming to Yellowstone. We stayed in Jackson Hole where Steam Way International is located. Dave took us out to eat and also gave us a tour of the facilities. Found out he has an extensive inventory of parts for the equipment and no debt. Beginning with his dad the Nalley’s have been associated with Steam Way since it was Saniclean back in 1967. Dave also runs a cleaning business. His success in a town of 10,000 with 20 cleaning companies would make any of us jealous. He knows his stuff.
Anyway, I really like that Legacy 2200. Quality built and now more technician friendly. Listening to Dave talk about all the build features was fascinating.
It’s not just the equipment that one is purchasing. For someone who wants to be successful, the info that is shared is free.

I'd buy up old 405s and run them until I retired.

Stop being afraid of propane.
I have used it for 34 years and would not want any other heat source.
It is safe, hot, constant, and very reasonable, not to mention you do not have to mess with the rest of the truckmount to get heat by by-passing and choking down things!

Your propane grill could be a ticking time bomb
Earlier this month, a taco truck in Philadelphia blew to pieces. Twelve people were injured, five of them critically. Investigators say a leak in the propane tank was to blame.Many people have barbecue grills in the backyard. Could this happen at your home?Investigators say yes — it happens more...

Investigators say yes — it happens more often than you think. There are 7,000 gas grill fires every year, according to the National Fire Prevention Association, many from leaking propane.

Propane Truck Mounts are not only very expensive to operate, but also one of the most dangerous in the Industry.

guy is a dick though....if he has those pics surely he knows that fire was caused by a fuel line* according to the owner
*my personal belief is that had there not been an open flame/heater the gas may not have ignited..........having dumped a bit of gas on exhaust manifolds in my day

I've operated propane units for almost 40 years. Only had one small problem and that was my fault. Didn't burn anything down.

was taken aback 2007ish? Doing a tour of vineyards in Washington state.
They had large propane tanks feeding several frost fighting windmachines. The tanks had kerosene belly pans they lit up to keep the vapour levels up.
If a tank got too hot there was a massive flare out the top from the relief valve, all the tanks were covered in soot and had paint burned off

I'm not scared of them. First TMs I ever used were propane heat. I would have no fear in running one now.
but I have had some exciting moments with them.........
