It's home. And did I mention it's BIG! It's in the parking pad off my driveway and I could drive straight in and just swing it back. Can't believe it was that easy. But there may not be room to back it out with the snow banks. I may have to get my neoghbor's John Deere to swing it out so I can hook up. Won't be a problem once the snow banks are gone.
Now the real work starts. Building counters, installing sinks, smokers and everything else. Still have to order a fridge and freezer, steam table and new sinks. I should be pretty busy for the next few weeks.

A few more shots
Front - Battery with DC power panel in the trcuk box. And look at the grea job my neighbor did with his John Deere clearing a spot to park it. You can clearly see the side stage door plus the 10' awning. All black is way cool. Close up of stage door. Not the brackets right near the top to attach the legs. James has some great ideas on this stuff. Back vending window, side door and the 15' awning. All the water connections and water heater are here. Dump for grey tank on the other side. Probably won't have inside pictures until sometime next week. Need to get power out to it and a few other things. FYI I have a charger for the nattery that plugs in and can charge whenever we're hooked up to shore power. So if I sit for 10 days at a fair no problem.

And for everybody thinking of building a trailer make sure to specify where the vent stack goes if have them install the water system. About the only thing James and I didn't think of. It's about 5" wide by 3 1/8" deep. I'll be notching out around it. And it is required in most places if you want to vend.
