What are the chances?

Put a propane heater in your van and watch the rust form overnight

Oh yea I remember reading about that, they create a ton of condensation.

If that works for you, as I've said i have no experience with extreme weather too hot or too cold. But. I personally couldn't go back to operating a portable after running a truckmount. Even back in the 80's when my backup was a portable. I never used it after running a tm.

How do you service places like assisted living facilities for eldery people that have 1 large building with long hallways and such? Do you just turn them down? Tell them that you are going through a window with your hoses or you won't do the job? Run 250 feet of hose down hallways in the elderly living center?

Funny you should ask i just did a bid for one kast week. Its not a senior home but alot of low income people with disabilities
Its 2 story and has halls approximately 175' long.i dont know if im going to do it though. I gave um my I don't wanta do it price @.60 per sgft they approved it but gave me a butt load of paperwork to become a vendor. Buried deep in the paperwork i read net30(or longer depending upon how payment is processed) i said that if i have to wait 30+ days to get paid i want 15% more so now its a wait . I sent the paperwork in and waiting for official confirmation. But ill stretch out hoses here and clean my regular way but i did finally go my hands on the perfect wand for rinsing and drying here just a week before. A 24" steamgeni drag wandthe original bid for this job was 5,040 sqft @.60 $3024.00. My i don't wanta do it and deal with corporate crap price now is $3477.60

I will also require them to notify tenants of what is going on and the possible trip hazards. My hoses are bright green and hard to miss and i will set out trip hazard signs but i only have 11 or so. as much as possible i will make them liable, im in a great position to do this because I really don't want to do it ( and no one else wants to eighter) and i will walk away
