wow;;;; You must get alot of sells!!!!!!!!

[RyanHughes]

Now that's impressive. Shouldn't there be aluminum inside that coil? :D

Is this what you bring to all estimate calls?

[Some Dude]

Do you have a generator for that? Really impresive , i was an american Standard dealer for a few years so i know theres some cash sitting there , plus the wrap and trailer , very nice.
Did you build this yourself?

[jumpit]

Very professional and impressive.

[praha99]

I have two batteries and a large converter running the furnaces, let me tell you it was alot of fun trying to hook up a variable speed furnace thru "dirty" sine wave. It was doing all kind of goofy things.

I did this on a shoe string budget, bought the trailer off Craigslist, did all the work myself.. there`s hours of polishing the stainless trailer alone.

I`ve done a few estimates with it already and I plan to bring this to as many estimates as I can.. it blows people away and I hope it will be a good marketing tool.

I do have to plan ahead thou .. make sure I can get out of a subdivision, with my extended van and this 25' trailer it`s quite a caravan:)

[yellowirenut]

anyone disappointed that the blond is not the saleswoman?....open the doors and awww...where did she go?:p looks good....may be a little intimidating for some customers

[HeyBob]

That's an awful lot to be hauling around!

[hotntired]

Awesome! Nice. I don't think you can underestimate the value of a first hand look or demonstration.
Now, can you put in a kitchen table and chairs to write up that proposal?

By the way, York offers a similar setup (aimed mostly at the distributors for events) to showcase the Affinity line in a dinky little trailer for a ton of money without the equipment or power.
I think you did very well.

When I turn on a regular single stage furnace blower and then compare it to a Variable Speed one.. it`s pretty priceless:)

That table idea has been going thru my head too..:cool:

[DesMech]

Okay, it says "Touch it, Feel it, Hear it, See it work" on the side, and you put a picture of your wife on the back?:D

[fcs]

Nice Traveling Show Rooms

[d d boyer]

Wow!! that is really cool!! There use to be a guy around here with wood burning fireplaces in an old school bus, it did well for him.

[JAH0983]

thats pretty sweet but why dont you have any contact info on it thats free advertising if you leave it parked somewhere. Rinnai has a pretty sweet one too with tankless water heaters they take to show off

[dracorp2]

Very Impressive. What did you use to polish the aluminum?

[awsomeears]

Now thats what you call thinking " Outside of the Box " I'm always thinking of creative ideas and this I haven't thought of.

Imagine in the nice spring/summer days 70's parking this and have a sign up Free soda and hot dogs, out of hunger and free food who wouldn't stop by and who could not resist walking inside ?

You could pull in 100 people and possibly hook at least 2-5 customers for a quote and close on 2-3 and have a customer for life and then let the snow ball effect roll on.......

Just an Awesome idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[praha99]

Dracorp; Rubbing Compound is the only thing that would take the oxidation off.
JAH: This will always be pulled behind my van that has all the phone numbers, there will be more contact info on tthe back too for sure.

Awesome: I already have it booked for a local Speed Shop open house :)

[4x4freak]

Any plans to add a generator and make the A/C units operational?

[21degrees]

I mean the Lady in the picture.:D I would be to occupied with her picture and not paying attention to you.

[neophytes serendipity]

Looks sharp.

Would love to hear the results after the open house. Always thought about doing the same.

[Lone Eagle]

Thats very impressive Not Only the display but the thought,creativity, and Ingenuity that went into it you stated your wife feels 7' tall.... no wonder pretty smart thinking also putting her picture on it making her feel a part of everything so she doesn't hate the busiest of season time and not to mention the lifetime supply of "Brownie Points"... I sy again veryimpressive

[universaltech]

Way to advertise with your wife like that! Sex does sell if your raking in the doe.

[mayguy]

Wow, that is a very cool set up and show case!

Do you have gas hooked up to the furnace?

[awsomeears]

If you look to the right of the furnaces there is a Propane jug :D

[mayguy]

Oh... yeah! Guess there was too many shiny things in there!

[Profiler]

very, very nice! ....the showroom trailer is cool too :D

[RoBoTeq]

Hey, did ya hear! American Standard just revamped their entire line. It looks completely different:D

What can I say? It looks great. I would have promoted R410a a bit by having the lady holding up a couple of pink jugs, but that's just me:p

[specgrade]

Okay, it says "Touch it, Feel it, Hear it, See it work" on the side, and you put a picture of your wife on the back?:D

Works fer me. Where do I sign up??:cool::D

[praha99]

LOL:D

[motoguy128]

The only issue you could have is that the equipment isn't rated for installation in an RV. But I don't know what exceptions are made for demonstration purposes. Just wondering if you might have insurance issues if there was a fire.

You might want to have a button to remotely kill the gas flow...or mount the propane tank outside the trailer. You might be able ot get a solinoid tied to a smoke detector and/or have the solinoid from the tank only open if there is power to the furnace... then have an e-stop button or disconenct mounted outside the trailer to kill all power. Just a thought. Always best to be prepared for the worst case. Love the set-up though.

[2hot2coolme]

Looks good to me. Do you have them systems bolted down? I know when I hit some of them hilly roads, I can hear a few things shifting around in back.

Are you guys keeping busy?

I could turn that thing upside down and nothing would move.. it`s in there good:)

We`re slow man.. even appliance repair which is what usually gets us thru the slow times. I`m already getting calls for a/c stuff thou, so hopefully soon things will pick up.
How about you guys?

January/February was busy, lately it's been crawling slow though. We're usually doing new construction of some sort... either commercial or resi during the slow period...it's been bad.

[approved101]

We are all suffering, stay positive it will turn around.

[luv2cruiserccl]

that trailer is very nice!! Very nice set up! AWESOME!!!!!!! Good Job So what you cost do you have in totally seting that up? With trailer and equipment?

[AirCareTech]

pretty awesome,dude

[firebug1]

What an great idea. How is it working for you?

[qssfl]

Great idea.... Excellent concept... I would think you would win more bids.... it just promotes more confidence in the customer seeing the equipment at hand.


They will think...someone who went throught all this trouble...will do the same to install my system right :)
