Christmas lights business truck setup

This is my Christmas light business setup. It doesn’t take much to get going with this business. As long as you can transport ladders then you can do Christmas lights. This is my setup though.

Congratulations on the truck, looks like things are going well. I watched a bunch of your old videos on the fw15 and ended up getting one and I love it, will never go back to a 30” toro.

Oh good! Me neither. I love my Ferris. I’m never going back.

Would love to see a video on the lights you use and what supplier you order from awesome videos man thanks.

Are there any dangerous of using Gilbert plugs if you install them correctly? Also, what about leaving your connections sitting in gutters?

[@noworkisbelowyou5338]

I’ve never had any problems with Gilbert plugs. I usually wrap them in electrical wire just to make myself feel better, but I’ve never had an issue. I usually use LED lights so they don’t pull as much as incandescent. I’d just say to overdue the protection on them. I don’t leave connections in gutters. I would try to hang them outside of the gutters on clips or something else.

Just curious how you handle insurance for Christmas lights. I am hoping to enter the business this year.

[@noworkisbelowyou5338]

State Farm makes a policy for it. There are other insurance companies that specifically do Christmas light insurance. This insurance lasts just the 3-4 months. I would check in your area to see what is available.

[@geminiadventures8028]

I have State Farm and was just with my agent yesterday who said they do t handle that kind of ins. Might have to call a larger office. Thank you for the info!!

[@noworkisbelowyou5338]

Yeah. I have a buddy whose agent made one up. It sounded kind of weird to me. There are several who do specifically Christmas lights. It’s not cheap but worth it for peace of mind.
