Looking for pics of how everybody sets up at a comp. Just a couple EZ-ups, enclosed trailer, toyhauler, RV, cooker setup, etc? How do you set up when you go to a comp, i'm looking for ideas. thanks

This is pretty typical for us, but it will vary depending on the space size.

At most comps you attend do they give you enough room to set up the camper like that? or do you sometimes have to use just a couple ezups? how do you know in advance? sorry for all the questions but i plan on competing next year and just trying to get ideas on setups.
 
Here's something that we started doing that is easy, cheap and effective. We purchased one of those hanging shoe racks that are made out of pliable plastic and hold about 10 pairs of shoes.

It's really lightweight and takes up almost no space.

We hang it from the back of the ez-up and put rub, sauces, utensils, etc. in the pockets. Works nice.

It's similar to this:

We've made a few changes since this photo, but it's pretty typical of how we set up, prep and presentation inside the trailer, cooking and cleaning outside.

Most around here, but not all. If a comp won't allow us at least 20 x 30 we just find another comp. Typically we pay extra since most allow a 20x20 in the fee. The setup in the pics is in a 20x40 space, which is pretty typical around here.

We use the toy hauler to transport our equipment, so we don't cook under a couple of easy ups. If I have another way to get the stuff to the comp we could, but just prefer not to.
 
Our setup is similar to RonLs, except our trailer isn't a toy hauler

I plan on bringing an Ez up to Arthur and Libertyville just to save damaging the bigger canopy

We can fit in a 20x30

I have a Little Guy Sport tear drop trailer with a deck on the front that has 2 Broil King Kegs mounted to it, then 2 more Kegs free standing.
We then add two caravan tents and some chili pepper lights...

I can't find any pics but we just use two EZ ups, 3 6ft tables, A Weber 22.5 OTG, and a Backwoods Fatboy, works for us for now. Hopefully we'll have a toy hauler or camper some day.

Our set ups for Boston Hills, Cross Border Blues, Brews and BBQ and Roc City Rib Fest respectively. Nothing changes much except for the table placement.
 
This is ny basic set up. Cooker and wash station location may change due to winds.
