First of all you need PLENTY of capital. Plan on being strung out 60 to 120 days from your customers. The cost of putting a fully equipped service van on the road is very high. Liability....be well insured as any accident will dig up service records and the attorneys go after anyone who has worked on the unit. These are a few of the negatives, but the rewards are high if you can make it through your first year
