What you provide
You need to have the essential tools: iPhone or Android phone, buckets, screwdriver, carpet knife, pry bar, hammer, etc...
You need a vehicle - one that can tow a trailer or fit the equipment inside. The Umpire model has used Subaru Foresters successfully. The car doesn't have to be a truck because technology has made the drying equipment smaller.
