You may remember last summer I purchased a Masters Touch unit with 480 hours mounted in a trailer. $9k for everything. I HATED THE TRAILER!! Having a trailer is good for some but not me. It also sucks for Idaho winters. So I have been looking for a used van and I think I found a great one. Its a 2002 Ram 1 ton extended with 49,000 miles. I only paid $4k for the van! The Idaho State Gov had it.
I modified the Powerclean unit to 2.5 inch. I really like the APO. I have never done an install before. It was kinda fun.
It was a window van but never had seats in it. I used Hurcliner on the floor.
I made a drip pan out of a sheet of aluminum I got out of the scrap yard for $7.oo
I had to rent a cherry picker to move the machine.
I have never had a machine out the back so i thought I would try it. Jury is still out on that decision.
Drip pan finished.
I mounted the electric hose reel out the side. I Hurculined the hose reel as well.
I added a 100 gallon fresh tank. I also built a chem shelf to the top of it. I made it out of wood I had around the house. Herculined in too.
Plenty of room for my RX20, vacuum, 2 airpaths, 2 normal fans, and my RV360i
I even built the Hyrdraforce and block holders out of scrap i had around the house.
The van drives like a deam, except it turns like a pig! Tons of power but the 5.9 liter sucks the gas. I have $7k ( - $2k for the trailer ) into the machine, hose reels etc. I have $4k into the van. $1k into the fresh tank, lettering, and other stuff. I think I did well.
