How To Build a LOW QUALITY, CHEAP Grooming Trailer.

February 26, 2010 By: admin Category: Trailer Basics

GT Grooming Trailers aren’t the cheapest, they’re just the best!

While most grooming trailer conversion companies built their niche as selling the “cheapest” grooming trailers, we built our reputation by providing the best built trailers on the market.  There are some things that the cheap conversion companies practice to ensure having the lowest quality mobile salons.  Some are:

1. Don’t include needed items such as trailer brakes.

2. Include a “stainless steel” tub that LOOKS like quality, but is actually very thin, flimsy, needs calk to keep watertight, and will ultimately fail.

3. Install a cheap “apartment window” air conditioner instead of a quality unit designed for the application.

4. Use cheap cargo cam-locking doors instead of RV style doors.

5. Advertise “waterproof” vinyl floors but fail to describe how they are not waterproof where it matters; along the walls.  While GT spends about $1,000 waterproofing the floors, low quality grooming trailers have virtualy no protection over the subfloor.

6. Use an electric water heater (or no water heater) instead of a propane water heater.

7. Install a “portable” generator instead of a quality RV or commercial generator designed (and warranted) for a mobile application.

8. Use “big box hardware store” cabinetry that will brake, mildew, and rot in a mobile grooming environment.

9. Include low quality items such as small water tanks, “price point” trailer shells from corner lots, or inferior plumbing components.

10.  ”Frame” the tub and cabinets with wood or other unprotected materials.

This list was too easy, and just scrapes the surface!

FLOOR SPACE : More GT Efficiency

The GT Grooming Trailer is STILL in a class by itself. Our standard 5 by 8 foot model has 5 feet of floorspace between the bathing center and the front storage–That’s 6 FEET OF SPACE from the tub to the front wall!

A competitor’s 6 by 12 foot model (TWICE the size of a GT) only has 6 feet of space between the bathing center and the front cabinets.

In other words, they had to almost DOUBLE the size of trailer to gain only 1 extra foot of workspace! (more…)

Apples and Oranges

GT is in a class by itself. Yes, we encourage entrepreneurs to shop for a mobile grooming trailer that best suits their needs, but the GT is built like no other.

The picture on the left is my own motorcycle (I’m Patrick, not Kim). It’s a lot of fun, purpose built, and reliable. The motorcycle on the right reminds me of how some other mobile grooming trailers are built.

I spent some time today browsing our “competition’s” websites and a theme seemed to have appeared: The use of BARE WOOD in their construction. GT goes further than everyone else in this industry to (more…)
