Ok the new guy has few questions. We are looking to buy an enclosed trailer. Does anyone have pictures of their set ups. If we buy one we would need a crank to help bring the smoker in, and we would want shelves and storage bins inside. If anyone has pictures or ideas I would love to hear it.

I know you just bought a MeadowCreek tow behind, so here is a trailer seller guy's opion, to put a trailer in a trailer is kind-a-weird. I think you would need a 8 1/2 wide just to start. I would suggest a bevertail, like a car hauler. to have any kind of interrior space you may want to go 20'+. which means a minumum of 2 spaces (forget NewHolland for parking side by side. and many more...)now you need to customize the trailer for your prep needs.(you can get fold down counters stc...).dont forget that you need to buy a trailer with a reinforced front to handle the MeadowCreek and the you will need a winch to pull the 2000#+ on to the trailer. A "come-A-Long" will beat your arms into submission. Not to mention the cost of a special trailer (awning, ramp doors, 20 amp service etc)!) try a second tow vehicle, with trailer for your gear and prep area would be what I would do. but who am I????????NOBODY!!good luck and please post pics of how things work out!

p.s I would love to sell you a trailer for your needs!

Actually my dad and I were just talking about you. We will probably talk to you at Yardley if you are there. We are just kind of tossing the idea around. I doubt we will buy anytime in the near future, but we would want to talk to you to find out what would work and if it is financially possible.
