    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!!

    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.
