Looks not bad. I think I'd have a hard time knowing where stuff is.

I had thought about using a utility truck for Carpet Cleaning once.....once.

 

[Newman]

Looks sweet. My initial reaction is that the machine and tools would freeze.

Looky like a re-invented V??

 

[Jimbo]

Interesting idea..........















Looks like the guy is getting capital together for the first one....

On first look it has potential but in reality it's not practical.

Cold temperature exposure to compartments
Compartments too cubed for versatility
PTO design is dead
Poor turning radius
Rear bumper too low for many residential driveway aprons
Difficult access for service of major components
Possible drive component cooling issues
Too expensive

I disagree with that part of the statement 100%. PTO's are not used enough in my opinion.

I recently saw a Bridgepoint (or jondon) truck that had utility compartments yet kept the box shape inside. Might check that out.

just have a side job putting out fires.

Love the idea, but wouldn't you would need a custom built box for it? You could have it insulated and everything. Or just buy something that would actually have a resale value like a sprinter.

Sprinter's have resale value?

I bet this dude could build something that would work. Then put a bRAND NeW Steam Genie in it, to match the stainless.

Whatcha say bawb can you retrofit a genie into something like that?

Make the box a little taller with a seperate opening from the rear for rugs, and make damn sure the box is insulated/heated all the way through, and I could see it being practical, IF the price point was under 60K...

One like this with a 6" lower roof with roll up rear door and a side door.

Notice the sides are sucked in and it has a low floor so there is stand up height inside the truck. This is what my next truck is going to look like.
