We looked at a LOT of toy haulers and could not justify the money for the limited, and very specific, uses at a BBQ contest. We can make the cargo trailer fit our needs very nicely. For example, we do not need showers and bathrooms in the trailer. Most comps are set up fairly nicely.
We do need large counter tops, lots of lights, and easily accessed storage. So when we rig up the trailer we will address those needs.

We bought the cargo trailer from WOW trailers in Georgia and had them build it with 7' of interior height since I'm 6'4". ~ 4 grand.

Another reason for going with the trailer was the high re-sale value of these types of trailers. When we're done with it, or move up, we can gut it out and get close to what we paid for it. It's not so easy with purpose built units.

As we move along with the re-fit we'll post photos and maybe we'll get some good ideas from the Brethren!
