Looks like if someone went with the standard ETM with adding propane and booster (to use as needed would). It would give aprox the same performance and you wouldn't have to run the truck while cleaning saving gas and around 5K.
Viva' la difference!

Only run the genset if it's more convenient or if onsite power is unavailable. Adequate for lighting and power tools as well if needed.

The alternator looks quite substantial.
Dual HX's look nice, and I assume that is an electric heater on the wall.
What kind of heat did it generate ?

Ive had a dream for a few years to mount this on my 30mpg Toyota Tacoma and running 4 of the biggest vac motors I can find:
10k and only 400 bucks
Ruff Hewn said:John, i have to say it, cause I know a LOT of us have to be thinking it.
WHY would you invest time and money on a VAN powered electric TM??? :shock:
as one man to another, let me strongly suggest you let that one wither on the vine and focus your resources on your $4000-$6000 portymounts ....Make it a GREAT machine..cause that's your market
Forget about your TransformerTM..trust me, it's a non starter .
Your megawatt machine just can't compete in the mid level TM market for so many reasons .
Not the least of which is the NEED to be powered by a VAN'S engine...It's crazy John
Every equipment savvy operator knows that too
They might pat you on the back for the accomplishment of creating a lectro with "genuine" mid level TM performance , I will too, "Attaboy well done.
but don't you see that hundreds of feet of wire, boxes and power plant can ALL be replaced with a drive shaft and blower...that will last 20 times longer???
I say all this for YOUR good as well as any BD that would consider buying one..it's crAzY

NobleCarpetCleaners said:This rig at MikeFest was very impressive. John has broken serious ground here with this new machine. 16 1/2"hg and 300 cfm! With 100 ft of hose it was pulling strong. Pump out, 1000psi solution and dual heat exchangers.
Looking at the electrical stuff of Mytees in the picture it seems to me that John needs to develop a heavy gauge umbilical cord from the house to the van so that one cord comes out of the van to the front door and then the feeder 110s go to the appropriate outlet. They should have a visual indicator at the wall socket end or a toned indicator telling the operator that they have hit the three or four compatible circuits needed for correct amperage requirements.
Go ahead and poke holes in some of my ideas but its ideas like these that better ideas come from.
