truck campers

[animalsandy]

has/does anyone use truck campers for mobile grooming? I'm thinking about it but my main concern is would it be able to handle all the grooming equipment? any suggestions

[mylady]

Yes, starshan has and there is actually a company in Canada that builds them called Bark n Park. Last I heard he was downsizing a bit. I was inside one and it was a lot roomier than my van the way it was set up and he told me he was adding electric stairs to go off the back. But I'd PM Starshan as I know that's how she started and I'm sure she could give you some great advice.

Yup. I've got a Toyota Camper. It can handle the equipment & I love it. Plus, it wasn't that hard for my husband to convert.

I did one, it got me off the ground. If you are close I would sell it to you cheap, $500. Still has the full size tub & table, folds up when bathing & down when grooming. I grew to love it. If I didn't bring my daughter with me I probably would have had plenty of space but since I brought her with she had the whole over head part to play. I used where the fridge/cooler came out for my inverter & batteries, only had room for 4 batteries though so that didn't run much but my dryer, I had to plug in everything else. I didn't have a place to put a Gen. The 4 gal hot water tank went where the heater use to be. I only had 20gal which did 4 med to small dogs depending on coat. There was a little more room to put in a bigger tank. My main issue was gray water, I had to dump into 7gal jugs, bring them home to dump. We probably could have rigged something up but I knew I wouldn't be keeping this camper as it was so heavy so we didn't do a lot of upgrading.

Now there is someone on here but I'm sorry I can't for the life of me remember her name. She built a truck camper from scratch, looks awesome. Even a ramp for the dogs to walk up.

Like I told someone else in a private email asking about the camper, I would prefer someone that wants it to come & look it over. I'd hate to ship it & have you disappointed in what you bought. Its a 73' Bell camper. Has one spot on the back corner that needs trim work, the trim has separated which is causing a tiny bit of water damage. Other then that its in good shape. Buyer pay & arranging shipping. For more info you can private message me.
