Open utility trailer mobile set up??

What are the cons and pros of this set up compare to a cargo van set up?

The reason I ask is because I have always wonder what happens when you got an open trailer detail set up with your pressure washer, power generator, water pump, and maybe an air compressor in it and it starts raining. All that machinery can get mess up by getting wet am i correct?

What would be consider a good open trailer set up?

In response just to the open trailer in general. I used to operate a landscaping business utilizing an open trailer to carry all my equipment. It never failed that I would be traveling to a jobsite and pick up the shady characters following me then waiting when I got started to do the pass and grab. I ended up having to come up with a way to keep the trailer secured to the tow vehicle and each piece of equipment secured to another and the trailer. At times I felt as though it took me longer to lock and unlock that it did to do the job. Oh and they would post lookouts when I would be on the backside of property.

Sum it up....out of site is out of mind. My 2 cents

Definitely go with an enclosed trailer. The open trailers are subject to weather and people trying to mess with your equipment. Plus with an enclosed trailer versus a work van, you can still have a personal vehicle when you want it by working with an enclosed unit. An enclosed trailer not only gives you the most protection, it is also a moving billboard.

Definitely enclosed but for 15 grand for a car buff trailer, you could get a pretty nice van set up.

If you want to have a personal vehicle as well, with a van, you now have 2 car payments, 2 vehicle registrations, 2 vehicle insurance bills, double the gas bill and double the vehicle maintenance. CarBuffs builds every trailer specific for each customer and only uses top of the line commercial equipment.....bottom line....you get what you pay for!!!

What would a full rig run?!?!? Having it loaded with pressure washing system, water tank, filtration system, air compressor, generator, shelving made specific for detailing products, and ladder racks? + anything else I forgot....... just curious on the custom price for that - oh yeah - plus to completely wrap it?!?!!? Toss a price out there man - really curious.


Top of the line everything by the way.

If Im not mistaken.... a trailer is what - maybe 1500?

Top of the line everything else - maybe 4000 to 5000

so looking at doing it yourself for around at the very most maybe 6500 before a 2500 wrap...... so at the MOST, 9000 doing it yourself right.... sound about right?!??! But could probably do all this for way cheaper like 6000 I would imagine - or even 4000 if buying good used equipment. HMMMM , curious what this salesman would say?
