True dat. I ended up selling the 500 gallon tank I had cause I thought that one was just too big.

A 1000 gallon tank is roughly 16ft long, 4' high, 3.5' in diameter, and weighs about 1700+ pounds.

Looking great..... Mine is still there just haven't figured it up on how to fill it with 1000 gallons of water without breaking the bank.
 
Very sharp! I would love to have a small trailer mounted rig.

Not implying yours is small, just meant I would like a smaller one. :wink:
 
Thanks for the compliments guys. Just something an ol country boy on a budget threw together on a spur of the moment cause what I had wasnt big enough for a couple of local venues.

Ive seen some pretty sweet rigs on these forums that makes mine look like scrap iron

Still need to incorporate my Discadia and a Santa Maria style grill that will nest into the storage/wood box.
 
Thats a great looking trailer. Id love to have one just like it one day.
 
Looks like you did a wonderful job but the tongue on the trailer looks a might short. It might be the way i looking at it
