Up for auction is our 2003 mobile pet grooming van. Eyecatching graphics all around, professionally applied, will do your advertising for you! Very comfortable to work in. Master Groomers tub, big enough for large dogs. Heavy duty wooden/carpeted stairs that lead up to the tub, great for those big dogs that are way too heavy to be lifted. Stairs can be removed if buyer prefers the space to put cages or chairs instead. 40 gal hot water heater keeps water nice and warm throughout the day, 35 gal gray water tank. Built in grooming table with storage underneath and behind it. Also lots of storage under the tub. Well built and solid, no loud rattling when going down the road. K-9 2 speed dryer included. Side windows open up from the bottom for a nice cross breeze. Front and rear air from the truck itself but there is an escape hatch that a roof top air conditioner could go in if preferred.
Inverter runs all lights, water and outlets. One switch to turn inverter on from the inside of van. Back of van holds 6 golf cart batteries that powers the inverter. In the evening I plug the batteries into a huge charger (included in sale) and charge the batteries overnight. The water heater gets filled with water and then gets plugged into a 220 outlet to heat overnight. I currently groom mostly small/medium dogs and do 4-6 per day and the inverter powers everything all day. The dryer pulls the most power and if it does run low at the end of the day, plugging the dryer into the customers garage/outside outlet is always a choice. The best thing about this system, is NO NOISE and NO FILLING THE GENERATOR WITH GAS! Our previous grooming van had the generator and I prefer the inverter system, hands down.
Maintanence has always been done on a routine basis and van is a very good runner. Starts every time, runs smooth. Easy to drive. Approx 10-11 MPG, tires in good condition.
Only dents are a 'ding' on the passenger side rear wheel well, approx 4" long.
If you are a pet groomer and want to go mobile, or need a second van, this is the one for you!

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs
Tue, Oct 6 2015FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
