Custom Mobile Pet Grooming Van

The Groomer

A quiet, self-powered salon designed around the groomer, the dog, and the next appointment.

Purpose: Mobile pet grooming
Workspace: Commercial salon
Power: 15kWh lithium
Home base: Phoenix, Arizona

The Brief

Put a complete salon on the road.

The Groomer transforms a high-roof van into a professional workspace with the bathing, drying, climate, water, power, and storage capacity needed to run appointments without a storefront.

A five-foot stainless tub and low electric grooming table define the main work zone. Cabinetry and tool storage are tailored to the operator's workflow rather than forced into a fixed package.

The dryer and shop vacuum live behind an insulated rear wall. Moving that noise away from the table creates a calmer room for sensitive dogs and a better working environment for the groomer.

Workflow on Wheels

Every reach planned around the appointment.

Washable surfaces, a low table, full-size tub, reachable tools, and clear floor space make the van feel like a purpose-built room—not equipment placed inside a vehicle.

The Groomer's organized equipment and utility area behind the mobile salon

15kWh lithium: The battery pack supports a full workday of grooming loads and cabin cooling.
6500W inverter: Power capacity is sized so the salon equipment can run together.
Heat-pump A/C: A 15,000 BTU unit cools in summer and heats in winter.
Fresh + gray water: Tank capacity is selected to match the van platform and appointment volume.
Rain-safe ventilation: Two Maxxair fans maintain airflow and can operate in wet weather.

The Result

A business that arrives at the customer's door.

The Groomer combines a commercial salon workflow with the battery, water, ventilation, and climate systems needed to operate independently—and creates a calmer appointment for both the professional and the pet.
