Nextlevel,

nice talking with another possible rotovac startup...

Still deciding on which route to go. I have been fortunate to come across some other deals thru some online searches, newspaper adds and other word of mouth sources. Money is tight so it is going to be what I can afford to buy as opposed to what i wish I could buy.

you have an email address so maybe we could chat in peace?

regards,

T-Nap

Hey T-Nap,
I had the same question, but not much information here from any of the members. Seems many folks here have already ventured our into truckmount territory, with a wand.  Conseqently, they do not use "starter" tools anymore like the rotovac. Hence, not much action on the thread. I could be wrong, so please no flames. Just trying to reach out to a fella.

I too am looking at the Rotovac package deal.  Which Rotovac and portable are you planning to go with?  I myself am going with the 360, and Mytee 1003HV. I looked at other combinations including more expensive portables with auto-pump out, and auto-dump, but was discouraged by others who have had experience with them in the past, but do not use them anymore, due to a number of reasons; 1, being clutter. When cleaning say a hallway which is limited on space as it is all those cords 5 to be exact will make it difficult to maneuver. 2. being reliability.  Because the machine is so packed with motors, vacuums, etc the realibility of unit with many of these features tend to be less than those machine with simpler designs.  Just my observation and talking with other users.

Anyway, hope this helps.

ALREADY WENT ON VACATION!

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE THOUGH.
 
LOOKING TO GET BACK IN THE MIX AND WAS WONDERING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE ROTOVAC...
 
FOUND IN A LOCAL PAPER A ROTOVAC SET UP FOR SALE CHEAPER THAN THE NEW START UP AND DRAWBACKS I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT?
 
AS FAR AS TRAINING COURSES GO DO ANY OF YOU THINK NECESSARY?
ANY MANUALS, DVDS OR OTHER TRAINING IDEAS I SHOULD CONSIDER SINCE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE?
 
PEACE!

THANKS FOR THE POSTS!

SO THE ROTOVAC IS A GOOD SYSTEM TO START OUT WITH?
WHAT SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T I ADD IN MY PACKAGE WITH THEM?
I AM CONSIDERING GOING WITH THE START UP PACKAGE ADDING A HEATER TO IT (IF NECESSARY) AND A HARD SURFACE TILE & GROUT CLEANER PACKAGE, WHAT DO YA THINK? THERE IS A LOCAL GUY I KNOW WANTING TO GET RID OF SOME TANKS FOR CHEAP (FRESH / WASTE), I THINK THEY ARE 30-40 GALLON TANKS AND HE IS ASKING $200.00 OR SO FOR THEM-IS IT WORTH IT (WAS THINKING I COULD THROW THEM IN MY TRAILER).
 
JUST SO I COULD GET BACK UP TO SPEED ON THINGS I WAS CONSIDERING TAKING IICRC course CERTIFICATION FOR CMT & CCT.
DO ANY OF YOU OR HAVE ANY OF YOU DONE THIS OR SUGGEST DOING THIS?
 
PEACE,
TODD KNAPP

back to the orginal post...... 4 grand is an okay start for equipment, thats a brand new Ninja...lol
 
I would suggest you make and distribute your own advertising, and push for referals... some here have said you should join a BNI or your local rotory club, great for referals!
 
what ever you decide to do good luck....
