OK guys, I’m looking for some advice....
I’m in the market for a trailer to take to comps and was thinking of getting a used extended 2 horse trailer (and yes I plan on cleaning it out real good before I start)… Price is going to be a concern since I’m just starting on the comp trail and have already invested in a new smoker and would have to build out the trailer and stock it…
Here is my logic, this type of trailer is generally taller and should give me more head room, is lower to the ground so I can easily load and unload the cookers, is built for hauling large/heavy loads, and are generally less expensive than an enclosed utility trailer. My plan is to convert one side to a kitchen (kind of ‘Pullman’ style) and leave the other side open for the storage of the cookers while on the road and movement around the prep area while at the comp…
My only real concern is with this type of trailer being lower to the ground; would it be a problem with uneven ground at the comp locations? Do you think I can easily get it in and out of the area? I should note that I am doing my first comps this year but have ‘Pit Bit@hed’ at a couple last year but they were all relatively flat. Is this the case with most comps or should I think of a trailer with a higher clearance?
