Re: PPV - The Perfect Dog Hauler

The cage was already in the car, so all-in was about $100, not including the vent fan and overheat sensor. (+$300) Seeing that the purpose-built dog compartments from Havis and Setina are both $2000+, this came out OK. Let me know if you go this route and i'll send you the templates for the floor an...

Re: PPV - The Perfect Dog Hauler

Here is the mostly-finished project. Soon-to-be Search Dog, Branna Die Wunderhund, loves the new playground. (That is a 15-week old Bernese Mountain Dog. She's likely to be about 100lbs. Feet are already like snowshoes.) On the list: - dual air circulation fans - on-board food and water station - re...

I need this - Does anyone have one? **Moto PTT switch**
