Mobile tanning inside a van?
 
Is anyone on here currently tanning inside a van for their mobile operation? I already have a 15 passenger wheelchair van with all the seats removed and thought it would be great for tanning. Anyone have any suggestions as far as how to set up lighting and the actual spray area? Any tips or things I should consider?

HI,
The only things I think that could be downfalls to the van idea is that most people couldn't stand straight in there and the ventilation issue, unless you open the windows and get a fan!? Otherwise, that's a pretty unique idea, which is always good. I have seen very few mobile ab tanning websites where a shuttle bus type vehicle was used.

Actually, there was a thread not too long ago called "Tanning Websites" or something like that and a few people put their sites up. One girl with the name blondie in her screen name put up a site and she had a bus/van....you should check that out and maybe private message her.

Well, good luck with the van...

Thanks so much for the response. I said van, but it actually is a shuttle bus van. There is plenty of room to stand up and I would use a fan. I'm not sure if I should make the back of the van a small spray room or just set my tent up inside. I think lighting is going to be the biggest problem. I searched through the threads and found the one you were referring too. Hopefully, I will be able to get in touch with Blondie. The van on her site looked exactly like the one I have.

Even though some seem to be scepticle lol, this could actually work!!!

And i know of certain areas in Canada (Ralston just out side of Medicine Hat) which it would go down a treat.

Anyway hope it works out for you

Heck, in the warmer months I was actually thinking of a small RV.
You would already have bathroom/shower stall area. Plenty of room for supplies. Think of the places you could roll up even if just to run into the store and get groceries and have clients see your signage on your vehicle. Here we go my mind is wandering again. :)

I am replying to your post on spray tanning in a van. I am the owner of AZ Mobile Tanning, and I have refurbished a 13 passenger shuttle bus. I am getting out of the business and would like to sell it. Please contact me for pictures and pricing, or any other information.

WOW!!! AZ Mobile "The Tan Van" is pretty cool!

I've seen a few conversions for tanning but this one is fabulous! I would love to see inside.

It would be ideal for promotion and for tanning high profile groups like cheerleaders, pageants, dance competitions, modeling or fitness events. It kind of announces it's TAN DAY!

My clientele are pretty low key and often ask if I have vehicle signage in which case I don't drive my Jeep I drive an Orange FIT which kind of makes me laugh to myself.

I don't know what is worse showing up in a vehicle that says spray tanning services or showing up in an ORANGE car! However I rarely park in client driveways for convenience and privacy.

This would work well at festivals, concerts any of these big promo events. There a few of them over here in the UK doing this exact thing. Brilliant I say!
