Old ugly trailer build...

[BarbequeKansasCity]

I really wanted to get a trailer that could house all my BBQ cooking and competition stuff all in one place. I just didn't have the funds to go out and get one that was done. So I looked and looked craigslist ebay everywhere finally I found one that was in my price range. It was listed on ebay classifieds. It was just a few hours away so after a little email haggling. I got him down on his price.

I found a home built 1970's enclosed trailer. I loaded the wife and kids up and drove 3 hours away to "take a closer look". When I got up to it It was not the prettiest trailer I have ever seen but I could see what I wanted. I pointed out all the problems and talked him down another hundred... This is what I have done so far.

[dealm9]

Wow great work thus far. That's a beaut!

[BarbequeKansasCity]

For those of you in the KC area I could use some help... I am looking for a 3 bay sink about 3 to 5 foot wide. A fridge. Labor. and so on....

[RevZiLLa]

That's going to be nice

[fingerlickin']

Looks great so far, the bonus is you get to build it the way YOU want it!

Craigslist is your friend. Great job on the trailer.

[Phubar]

I like it allready!

[ksbiker]

Watch equip-bid.com for a sink they usually have a restaurant auction going on somewhere in the KC area.

Drywall with insulation? Nice! Where's the A/C unit? :grin:

[Wampus]

Hecks yeah!!!:thumb:

Lookin good so far!:clap:

[nthole]

That is really impressive. Is that actually dry wall?

[ThatsWhatSheSaidBBQ]

Nice start! Are you going to add outlets? House wiring behind the drywall? I like that you cut the window so early...part of it is because you were insulating, but it starts to take shape once you start hackin away at it, huh!

[BarbequeKansasCity]

A buddy of mine is dropping off an a/c later this week. NO there is not any dry wall in there! I am trying not to add weight till I have to add weight... It is 1/4" coroplast or signboard. I got it at cost from a sign shop. It is plastic cardboard very easy to use and light. It cuts with a knife. I used a lot of it in model airplanes and so on.

[BarbequeKansasCity]

Yes I am going to add outlets with conduit and a breaker. I will put my generator on the front with an open bottom dog house to keep the noise down.

[tnjimbob]

Looks great so far Dan! Keep the pics coming.

Google "restaurant auctions" for your area and you should be able to find SS sinks & counters as well as cooking pans, etc. Good luck! :-D

[HB-BBQ]

It looks great so far...good luck with the rest of the build.

Nice save! :thumb:

[Babyboomerboy]

Very nice build. Keep the pron coming. :clap2:

[Pitmaster T]

As long as you do not move the trailer (ANYWHERE) and keep the trailer in an environmentally controlled garage, you will have no problem with the sheetrock.

I am surprise no one has chime in with this:

Looks great! Be sure to pick up a fourth sink if you can. Most health department rules want to see a three pass sink for the cooking items and the. A separate hand sink for washing the paws you are using to serve folks with. No matter if you using plastic gloves or not. Watch the regs on the drain inner connects and grey water collection rules too. Keep those pics coming!

[The Cosmic Pig]

Man, you're a magician! You did a fine job on that "ugly trailer," and it ain't in no way ugly any more! My hat's off to you, sir! :clap2:

How cool is that.
Drywall I assume is Plaster sheet, yes?
Thats heavy stuff.
Cheers.

[BarbequeKansasCity]

No the walls are covered in plastic sign board. They weigh about 5-10 pounds per sheet.
