Steve,

I hope you get some commission on all the extra orders.

It reminds me of when I look through glossy car mags, suddenly you have the urge you've just got to have one. Or is that a little too sad.

Also lets talk benefits, not just technical gumph. When I think truckmount I just think faster cleaning to get more £££.

Serious question-

What else will it do for me to make me more money?

Any t/m will increase productivity thus make you more money.You won't have to spend as much money buying one.

I don't get comission  ::) I'm just so pleased with the machine that I let you guys who are thinking about upgrading the opportunity to see the machine from different angles.

Just joshing Steve, I know you make the forum aware of lots of good products/offers you find, great.

I was wondering if the prowler would be good for patio cleaning or anything else so it will allow you to add more services.

Mike, I'm always of the opinion that although many truckmounts are capable of being used for pressure washing, it doesn't make sense to put the extra strain on the aditional components such as the heat exchangers etc. Much better and cost effective to buy a seperate pressure washer and use that for the drive jobs.

John! what does a Prowler weigh? and what are its dimentions ? what is the smallest van it will go into ? I have two vans a nissan Cargo and a Vauxhall combo, but for economy reasons I use the combo more would the Prowler fit into a combo or is that pushing it a little

Stuart

I seem to remember John saying in a previous thread that the smallest would be something like a despatch/expert.

I have a Combo and wondered the same thing.

To digress slightly, I was looking at those Nissan Cargos are they any good.

Stuart, the Prowler weighs 198 kilos. It would be no good for a combo. You'd get it in but would have no room for a water tank, hoses etc. They fit well in a midi size van. Nick Holman had his in a Scudo at first but has upgraded to a Nissan Primastar LWB.

Mike! the nissan van is fine and is very reliable but crap as far as economy is concearned, think it gets someware in the region of 28mpg the combo on the other hand gets over 55mpg thats why i thought of the possibility of a prowler in it, I will have to re think my options, I work all over the north east so need a van that gets at least 40 mpg, i had a vivaro and a vw transporter a couple of weeks ago the vauxhall did 36mpg but the vw struggled to get that, mind you the vw wasn't new,

John what is the differance between the red and the black Prpwler ?

Hi

The first prowlers used a honda 13hp honda engine, they are allways red so red prowler.

The later ones use the Kholer engines which are allways black, hence black prowler.

There may be other differences!

As David says it just depends on the engine used. Everything else is the same. The photo posted is of the 15hp not the standard Prowler.
