How much does the trailer weigh?

• For the MPS Elite model,  Elite 600-650kg. A standard 6 x 4 trailer is 300kg
  

Are there water tanks? Can water tanks be fitted?

• Yes, we can fit water tanks, but remember you will carry around an extra 200 kgs of weight around, this costs you extra in fuel consumption and will increase the weight of the trailer which will require electric brakes to be fitted. Then somewhere during the day you will need to refill, you will have to make sure the person is willing to allow you to fill up 200 litres of water, which will add to your time of ½ hr which is equal to the total time of connecting the hose up over 1 day.
  

What size car do I need to tow the trailer?

• The trailer was originally designed to be towed behind a small 4wd type vehicle. But any small car over the gross weight of the trailer is capable of towing it. Refer to your Car manual.
  

Is the trailer hard to reverse or maneovre?

• The trailer has been set up, with the same system as a boat trailer, where the wheels are set further back, which gives ease of reversing and more controlled towing at highway speed. All trailers are rated to 110km’s per hour.
  

Is it easy to maintain?

• Our first objective when we first built this trailer was to reduce Groomer fatigue, therefore the cleaning of the trailer is easy due to the moulded surfaces. The Savel Mobile Pet Salon is the only fibreglass grooming trailer with a moulded interior so hair doesn't stick to the walls. Easy to hose out quickly at the end of the day, and a hygienic looking environment to present to clients.
  

What are the dimensions of the trailer?

• 1.99m Wide (wide as standard aluminium ute tray) 4.8 m long ( not longer than your average car - ute length) 2.5 metres high (from ground to roofline ) (same as house ceiling height).
  

How do I access the Hydrobath pump if needed?

• Through a servicemans access panels.
  

Can I add my own existing equipment to the trailer?

• Generally Yes if it is a Savel product or supported Savel product. Other manufacturers: As we prefer to factory fit to keep with integrety of the trailer shell and ensure quality control it is adviseable to discuss your options with us prior to manufacture.
  

Can I add Savel options to the trailer at a later date?

• Yes, again if we are aware of your future plans we can put structures in place for your future plans.
  

How long does the water take to heat?

• Depending on time of day and seasonal climate, generally around 5 mins from cold water, after that generally less due to the autofill system. Generally by the time you have done the “Meet & Greet” with Fluffy etc, the bath is ready to go, because the water has started heating the minute you plugged the trailer into the power source. Then during the day due to the autofill system, the water reheats very quickly.
  

How big are the hydrobath tanks?

• Holding tank: 15 litres Wash Tank: 18 litres Savel Hydrobaths are under the QLD Water commission guidelines and are classed as Water Efficient. The Wash tank can use a minimum of 5 litres for a small dog.
