Over The Years we've converted lots of Sportsmobiles with special dog considerations, and other pets too, including cats, birds, and one snake.
Most Owners have only one small dog, and only need space for a small crate. Others have several dogs requiring space for multiple dog crates, special cabinets and other needs. Some owners show their dogs throughout the country, and need grooming equipment storage.
Whatever Your Needs we will be happy to work with you. We'll build and equip it your way, whether it is a simple canine transport van or a luxurious self-contained motorhome.
Concerned about stopping for lunch, sightseeing or shopping when the weather is hot? Some owners report that they simply let the van's engine idle when they park. The engine will actually run cooler with the Starcool A/C. You might want to put a note on the windshield saying "The dog is OK - A/C is on." Also be sure that your gas tank is not low, leave a couple of windows down a little and lock the doors. Do not park over dry grass as the catalytic converter could start a fire. Note: in some states it is illegal to leave the engine running in an unoccupied vehicle.
Paging System with a temperature sensor includes high and low settings that you determine. When the temperature reaches one of these settings, an automatic two-way pager will alert you by audio and/or a vibrator. No service is required. Portable. Long-range antenna optional. Other options are available such as engine start, turn on A/C, attic fan and engine heater.
For more information on heating and cooling your Sportsmobile, see the "Options" listings under the Ford/Chevy and Sprinter main menu buttons.

"Sorry this has taken so long to write, but I have been busy making money with my new Sportsmobile grooming van! I've have had it three months now, and have yet to have a single thing go wrong or be disappointing in any way. It runs PERFECTLY. I have given dozens of tours of the van, and all my groomer buddies are "jealous". I'm so proud of what you have done. The Houston Chronicle has even been out to photograph it, they too were very complementary.
"I'm continually impressed by the quality of your workmanship. Its fun to show it off! Its been years and years since I had such confidence in a product."
