How this calculator works
Every line in the calculator reflects pricing we have actually quoted on pet mobile builds in 2025-2026. The base length cost includes the chassis (for cutaway/van builds) or trailer frame, structural prep, water tanks, generator mounting, electrical service panel, climate control, basic plumbing, and standard finish.
The service package adders cover the equipment specific to your operation: tub, table, dryer, refrigeration where needed, vacuum system. The generator, water capacity, and add-ons stack on top.
What the range covers
The high-low range (plus or minus 8 percent of the mid-point) accounts for equipment brand substitutions (Master Equipment vs ProLine for tubs, K-9 II vs Edemco vs Double K for dryers), commodity pricing variation quarter to quarter, and wrap design complexity.
What the calculator does NOT include
- Used chassis purchase if you bring your own. Subtract $35,000-$45,000 from the cutaway/van estimate if you supply a clean used Ford E-450 or Mercedes Sprinter.
- Permit and licensing fees. $250-$1,200/year depending on jurisdiction.
- Title, registration, and commercial insurance. Annual recurring costs, not build cost.
- Delivery beyond 1,000 miles. We deliver to most of the western U.S. at no extra charge. Long-haul deliveries (East Coast, Pacific Northwest, Alaska) add $1,500-$4,500.
