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 brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
