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

    Is this what you bring to all estimate calls?

    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?
    You sure are cocky for a starving pilgrim.

    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

    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..

    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?

    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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I forgot my Pen !!!

    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
