The first trial vehicle? One really nasty work truck.
The unit performed great. I'm really pleased.
Thanks again to you and all posters for the tips.

In addition, after I sweep the garage I use it on the floor to "sweep" up the dust left behind and leaves that are blown in the corners etc.
hivoltagefx4 I swear! Every time I get on this website, all I seem to do is spend money!!!!!!! I now have to go buy one of these 5 gal 5.5 hp vacs from Lowes!

Works great for me -- and it's used frequently in and out of the 'shop'.
My next one will be a wall-mounted version like Gip referenced... A hose is easier to deal with than a great big clumsy vac, IMO. But, for the time being, it works fine.

I have the 5hp wall mount shop vac in my garage. I love it! but BEWARE!!! Do not use it for more than cleaning your truck. the hose is too long and can get clogged very easily. and it's pretty hard to clear a clogged 20' hose (insert joke here). I've had it for 3 years now. If it broke, I think I would get another one, but that would depend on the garage I have. That is a very important factor here. i can only get my truck in the garage in the wife's car isn't there. So I tend to use the smaller 1 gal. vac that i have on the truck, and the big one for her car.
