Steve, what method would you choose where you want a
CDS-type TM in a vehicle where you can't fit a driveshaft?
I would purchase a van that would accommodate a regular direct drive unit, but when you are purchasing the direct drive you almost always have to use a new van.
SO, this is a new twist. I'm interested in following it's emergence.
I can remember the first ETM's I built many years ago, where I used an on-board generator for power, getting it's fuel to run from the van's gas tank fuel tap system.
However, I then got so much crap from so many people that if you use a gasoline powered generator to run the machine, why don't you just get a gasoline slide-in.
So I proceeded to design the ETM so it would only require two 15 amps circuits, and would still cover 200' from the van when cleaning. I still have the genset, but rarely use it, and, the ETM is still kicking butt and taking names.
Does that mean that if my name were Bob Rockefeller or some really well known name you would have taken the time to see it perform with an open mind?
Carry On...
