Joel’s Mobile Detailing Downsizes from Full Size Van to Nissan NV200



This Nissan NV200  is being used by Joel's Mobile Detailing in Tampa, Florida.



This van provides an excellent presentation; it is an unobtrusive when parked in the driveway of customers in deed restricted neighborhoods. Joel was detailing an SUV in the Westchase neighborhood, Tampa, FL. Notice that he is working in the customer’s driveway; the van has nice, unobtrusive graphics on removable magnetic signs.

Word of Mouth at Work! Joel takes a break answers questions about his services to a neighbor .

Joel reports that the new NV200 van replaced a full size van that he used for many years. This van provides enough space for a Water Tank and Generator as well as all the other supplies needed for his detailing operation. He reports that the NV200 has excellent acceleration and ride and consumes about ½ the fuel as his previous full size van used.

Recent Design Updates:

Bolt-On Opener

The 72-150/TE-20 series come with a new and improved bolt-on style opener assembly. This new assembly eliminates the need for welding thereby protecting the liftgates factory coating(s).




Mount Plates Now Bolted Instead of Tack Welded
mount plates
The 72-150/TE-20 mounting plates are now attached to the main frame tube by means of a bolt that is attached to a single tab that is welded to the main frame tube. This new mount plate attachment method replaces the previous one that used several tack welds to hold the mount plates in place. This new method shortens installation times by eliminating the grinding of tack welds.



Grease-able Pins

The 72-150/TE-20 series of gates now come standard with grease-able pins.


Important Note for Gates Ordered in Galvanized Finish

Orders received for galvanized 72-150 and TE-20 models will have mount plates welded solid at spacing as noted below. Bed heights need to be identified on all galvanized orders.

•    34.25” spacing for high bed ranges of 44" to 54"
•    33.75” spacing for low bed ranges of 38" to 42”

An SOR (Special Order Request) will be required for all other spacing requirements or a callout for NON solid weld (tacked only) mount plates.

Switch-N-Go’s™ S-Model system is designed to work on medium duty work trucks with room for little or no overhang. Equipping your truck with a Switch-N-Go™ S-Model your truck has all the benefits of the Switch-N-Go™ system with the bonus of no frame overhang which allows for easier towing.

Available in 9’, 10’ and 11’ versions the S-Model has all of the features of the Original Switch-N-Go™ body changing system, plus the added benefit of no frame overhang.

Are you a new owner of a Switch-N-Go™ system or do you have a new employee to train on how to use the Switch-N-Go™ system?  If so, check out the How to use the Switch-N-Go™ system video on YouTube.
