Impressive but the cab is a American Lafrance and the back end was definitely a Walk in Rescue

I try to watch your videos and shows on the rfd channel but you should really try to show what you're talking about. Every video the camera is on you almost the whole time. We get it, you like to see yourself on the screen.

Impressive marrying of two apparatus together. That was not a Semi in a traditional sense though. That was either an Engine or Quint that they put a walk in Rescue body on. It is not an ambulance body either.

Nice outfit!!! I've got my service truck set up so everything runs off the truck batteries too... But my welder/generator is gas😥. It's got a jumper plug on it, so if I have to take it off, I can plug the jumper cables to it if I need to start it... All the extras are on their own disconnect switch, so there is no chance of a battery draw, except while in use.. Love the water truck too!!

It's a nice truck the problem with it is as that used American LaFrance cap in the France has gone out of business so getting into your parts may be a very big challenge for him disc brakes for standard on these trucks

@hsmith3844 5 жыл бұрын

Where I'm at one can have lights sirens all over your car, BUT unless you belong to a dept and have a State Fire Marshals sicker you better not light your vehicle up. You will draw undue attention to yourself because sticker is usually applied near yearly inspection sticker.

A tiller is a tractor trailer style ladder truck with the rearmost axle controled with a steering wheel. The ladder truck repurposed in this video is not a tiller but a truck with a single solid frame with no swiveling or "trailer" piece. Not a tiller.

@corey97140 5 жыл бұрын

John Reitmeyer its the tractor unit from a tiller. Thats why they lengthened the frame. Otherwise it would have a really short back end.

@johnreitmeyer3919 5 жыл бұрын

@@corey97140 Right i understand that but what makes a tiller a tiller is the trailer portion attached. With the extened frame its just like any other aerial truck with a rescue box instead of a ladder mounted.

@farmertyler8087 5 жыл бұрын

John Reitmeyer what makes a tiller a tiller is it being a tiller. Both either of the parts in particular. A banana without the peal is still a banana.
