AC, you had suggested I bring my Gen II Cradle Skid down with me to switch out the 100 gal. tank for two 50s. Is this still an option, or is the assembly plant too busy.
Question Two: When will it be available for pick up? I'll be driving out Sunday morning.

Bob,
1. The plant is swamped! However let your distributor know what parts you need and we will have them onsite for you to take home. We can shrink wrap them right onto the new skid.
2. The new Cradle Skids will be available for drop in mid day on Wednesday.
Yours was on the rack being rigged Tuesday of this past week. Should be done now.
I'm going to get a look at Tim Teed's and see if I want to go that route with my 1st rig. Really jazzed about the new one! Jaime and I will be bringing everything to have the new rig running on site. Another reason to hold off with Shrink Wrapped tanks in the new skid.
We leave soon, where is the information of needed items for those picking up there skid units?
This was in the email we received but no follow up information was provided.

I wouldn't be to concerned. Worse case just go to Home Depot and get what you need down there. AC usually sells the GW, BW, PW as well as sprayers, gutter cane, tips. Maybe bring a pail, a few tools to bolt skid down and a 150' of garden hose.
Man I am so busy. Can some of you vets chime in here and start a list of everything you keep on your truck. Ill start...
1. Two 50' 5/8 commercial rated garden hose with heavy duty brass ends. Lowe's has them and my local Lowe's ordered more today for anyone who wants to grab them here. $29.00
2. Short 12' garden hose for eye Wash and at truck water for rinsing and filling.
3. Brass y valves for end of hoses.
4. Brass sweeper nozzle. Non adjustable fixed 0 degree.
5. Electric leaf blower (not gas)
6. WD40.
7. Female thread to female QD quan 6.
8. Female thread to male QD quan 6.
9. Male thread to male QD quan 6.
10. Tie downs for ladders.
11. 8' Step Ladder alum.
12. 24' Extension Ladder alum.
13. 40' Extension Ladder alum.
14. Water Fed Pole. ( we also use for extension pole as well as windows and roof spraying.)
Gutter Brush
28' and 34' ladder(depends on home size of your market) aluminum
Get the adjustable legs on bottom of ladder. Works great
Small bucket to soak spray nozzles in BW
Pump Sprayer to pre-treat stucco under windows/touch-ups
Deck Brush to scrub decks/pavers
A few spray bottles for rust remover etc for test cleaning during sell process
small tool box
Guys, regarding hooking up the stealth AC/DC controller to the SW skid & truck;
1) I secured 4 marine group 27 DC batteries.
2) I secured gauge 2 pig tails to connect the batteries in "Parallel"
3) Secured Lowe's tool box to house batteries & covered bottom with plywood.
Will I need anything else to make the final connections, ie: insulators, battery harness, wire to run from truck battery back, etc.
Also does anyone know what to make the connections to a Ford F-350 with duel batteries, and uplifter switches, can we use the uplifter switch to control the on/off function?
Gregg I have the uplifter switches and one of them is on a 50 amp breaker. I just don't think the connector wire is big enough. I believe ac said that they supply you with the wire to run to the truck battery. If you have two batteries then I believe either one will work unless one dosent go to the alternator
Also we are getting a pretty good snow storm tomorrow so be safe driving.
I had the same thought, that the wiring wouldn't be able to handle the load, my truck has duel alternators and duel batteries so hooking into one should pose no problem just would like to have the ability to turn on and off as desired, hooking into the upliftter switches would have given me that ability.
The weather looks like it's getting worse and worse as the night moves along, had planned on leaving around 3pm but may have to change that thought.
Have a safe trip down and look forward to meeting you.
Best,
Gregg
