New addition to our fleet...

[res]

We picked this up on Tuesday, and have spent the week cleaning it from top to bottom and fixing a few things. It isn't completely clean in the pics, the top of the walls on the back stalls hadn't been scrubbed yet.

Can't wait to get it out on the road...

That is the coolest thing ever! Do the horses back into those stall partitions?

Yes. The horizontal bar in front of the stalls comes out, horses back in, are "cross tied" to keep them from fussing with neighbors, and then the bar goes back up. There is a bar for each side, but I had them both on the front stalls during the picture because I was working on the back stalls and didn't want to duck under it or trip over it on the floor.

The van can be configured a bunch of ways to haul. I can make 2 big box stalls, or 4 big tie stalls, or a combo of both. It has ramps on both sides, the driver side is a hydraulic lift ramp. Cameras in the horse box and back of van. Truck is immaculate, air ride driver seat, horse box is air ride also, and it will lower closer to the ground, too.

This van sold new in 2005 for $110k. One owner. It actually got repo'd, and we got it at auction for...... ready for this????? SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS! I contacted the manufacturer to get a value (insurance company cannot value it, no blue book on these). Manufacturer said we would have paid $35k for it if we had bought it used off his lot.

DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!

That is a super deal! Good for you! I know those can be pricey! Sounds like this will be a great vehicle for you and your horses!
