You would have made it in 18 hours if the thing could pull a hill.

Congrats Steve, I am glad you made it home safe.


I am really glad you didn't post the ceremonial thong dance pictures I do while christening the worlds most powerful cleaning machine. :oops:

NO Snow

18 hour trip would have been tough to do having to go through California, I climbed most of the bad hills( Sisques & Shasta) at 45 mph but the truck will only do 70 mph which is probably a good thing or I would have got several speeding tickets

The waste tank almost touches the ceiling and I do have a warm water pressure line, Adam is doing a nice job with trying to upgrade what BlueLine will let him do

Adam tells me I have a lot of firsts on the machine

wrap is just to much money and from a few that I have seen up close they seems to peel easy and show wear after a couple of year, I do work for a vinyl guy so I can get so things done cheaper

basically just got the bigger waste tank, I already have a water softener to install in it

The hose reels are up farther and the console and fresh water tank sit farther back to help balance the ride

heats up very fast

It is a rougher ride but not to much worse then my dodge truck

I will post some more pictures later

any one want to make me an offer for the cool cuffs that are on it :shock:

Thanks to all who answered my endless questions

Congratulations, Steve. You're going to love it.

A bigger waste tank? I'm jealous.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else is new.

Vancouver/Portland is becoming the Vortex capital of the world. The best carpet cleaners live here!

PS I now know why ODIN was down here a few weeks ago. He was lusting after all the Vortex owners.
