Central Vac Use in Bays?

Good point, and something to consider. However in my case, all my vacs are out in the elements and not under any type of awning or sheltered area. Thus, in the winter I get ice and snow on them and have to shake them free occassionally.

Mine too, but in the bays they get sprayed in freezing temp, unlike the occasional snow on the vac and hoses that just brush off. It needs to be chiseled off!

Personally I think that Ontario car wash owners should be more receptive to "Barn Style" washes (One door in / one door out) which would eliminate these issues. Washes like these are very common in Western Canada.

Before I built I did visit barn style washes out west, like Big Buckets in Calgary.

Problem with Barn style washes is that you need an attendant there to be open and likely need to AC in the summer. Interesting, yet there must be good reason I don't see any here in Southern Ontario.
