Anyone thought of buying a second hand truck mount and removing the vac blower and just use the pump and heat exchanger to clean using hot....you can even vary the temperature.
Could they be modified....I think so.

If I owned a truck mount I would not be considering to mod it to clean windows that's for sure.
This guy cracks me up lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvBPQeF2Gqc

Seriously running a large truck mount engine just to heat water for window cleaning seems  a wee bit over the top to me.

Unless you are into gutter cleaning, then you have the most powerfull gutter vacuum available. Even the smallest truckmount has 6 times the power of any electric tub vacuum.

Funny enough I looked into making a roots type blower gutter clearing systems many years ago.  Decided against it as was impractical to make a mobile version so stuck with  electric wet vacs instead. Main drawback I could  see with a van mount gutter clearing system is the run of hose required on some of the larger jobs I get asked to do. Meaning they have very poor access for a trailer or van to get close enough to clear all the guttering on the buidings. That would mean I would need another van just to carry all the vac hose. lol
