The Bengal Thing

Here is the info:
Concession trailer made from an old pop-up camper, frame was re-done by a sheet metal fabricator….with aluminum. It has a canopy on the outside that is fitted with 2 outriggers on each side. The trailer is 8'x11' and the canopy 10’ by 10’. Here is a picture:
Included = 3 turkey fryers in the counter, 3 woks, 3 propane tanks, 3 spare tires, a small freezer (very small he said) and a hot water heater. Pots, pans…. etc
3 component sink, waste water tank
It is brand new and never used, the guy and his Dad built it and he doesn’t have time to use it. The only thing it needs is some “finishing up” to adhere to the health board inspection...etc. The sinks aren’t “hooked up”, they need some plumbing work to get them to function as they should. They are just included, not attached. Needs shielded lights…etc to pass inspection.
$2500
It sounds pretty sweet. The guy said he is a master chef and I told him I was new to the business,….he said he would offer advice and stuff.
OK..... so now for why I want this. I have been thinking of several different things latelyt which got me started looking into concession trailers. The firts reason was for my tailgate party for the Bengals games. I was wanting a vehicle like avan or something, but couldn't quite fan exactly what I wanted and for the price I wanted.
I have also been on a mission to prepare for my future and try to maybe start up a business....etc
Then I found this site and got to thinking that I may try to make a go of concessions/catering/maybe a store at some point. However, I am a total noob at anything related to starting a business.... etc.
Anyway, this trailer seems to be a good price and a decent step into seeing if I would even like the world of concessions. It isn't going to break the bank (not that $2500 is anything to sneeze at, but compared to most of what is out there.... not bad).
I figure I can get this... try it out at the football games to se ewhat I may need and if I like to cook for people...etc. Then see what happens for maybe starting up a weekend gig where I can make a little money. Starting of super slow with like hot dogs , ice cream and pop. Nothing elaborate.
I have read all the threads on here and know when/if I get "serious" about the business side, I need a good business plan and all that. I am not there yet, but I thought maybe this would make a good entry level type step into it.
Please let me know what you think about the trailer and anything else you feel the need to say.
I am going to try and go see it this weekend.... so be on the look out for updated pics and thoughts from seeing it up close and personal.
Thanks
