New Petit is here.

Now the fun begins...

Can't wait to see it in action!

Nice! I was in your position a few weeks ago. Are you installing it yourself?

 

[APW]

I am. I flew up twice and spent a week with them installing two machines. I will officially be a Petit distributor after I install this one.

Don't be throwin that lumber away after uncrating as you can fetch a pretty penny for it these days LOL

No doubt! Might turn around and sell it and recoup some of my money. Lol

That’s why the machines are so expensive!

Curious what did that machine cost?

Nice! Wish you the best! I love my machine although I will say there has been some small issues to work out but I guess that happens with any new machine as things wear in, etc.

How long are you anticipating the install will take? Are you doing it alone?

$200K roughly

There will be two of us. Petit said to plan on 200 man hours to install it. If I would go ahead and quit my day job things would go a lot faster!

Just giving you a little bit of input from my experience. My distributor has a tech which is phenomenal. Petit said it would take three weeks IIRC, my distributor said he never saw his tech take longer than a week. In the end I think it was about two weeks and three days. My tech had a hand helping him probably 40% of the days.

Mine showed up today as well! Hoping for only a two week install , it's the first one in my state so it is also the local distributors first time installing a Petit on their own.

Wow, that's a long install time. I've seen experienced Coleman techs install a water wizard 2.0 in four days with three people on the first two days, two on the following days. Different animal I know, but the labor on a two man three week install is probably pretty hefty.

What kind of issues Car Wash Guy?
How’s it cleaning and what soaps are you using with your Petit?
Thanks
