Not exactly a Tear Drop but you could sell burritos and tacos!

Bob,
That looks very similar to the drawing that you emailed to me.
An 800.00 Cargo trailer may be a cost effective way to go, just be sure you find one the right size. You'll probably need to beef up the framing around the perimeter where you're going to make a cut-out. I've seen similar trailers, like the one you have in mind, at race tracks, used to sell T-Shirts and Hats. Maybe you could find one allready with a side that opens into an awning. Just figure out how much room you're going to need. About the only thing that you haven't mentioned as far as tailgating goes, is a hot tub.

Bob,
I think I got it! Try this link:http://www.concessiontrailersusa.com/ and click on Our Competitors. They even sell used trailers when they get them. Don't limit your seach to that one website. I did a search on Concession Trailers

One of the websites refers to the trailer you have in mind as the Line Up Concession Trailer.

I can tell just by looking at that trailer that it wasnt made like that, it was converted. And that is ok for a conversion. The trailer itself unconverted is worth alot more than that. And I wouldnt say that consesion stands are cheep running from 8,000 to 50,000 and higher. I think it would be worth putting a bid on, bye

Have you looked at this one at GlenL ?

Spook is right, it will be cheeper to just build your own, And hey, when there are plans already made, why not! Keep looking and good luck, bye

Yeah I know that trailer was done by them, I sent them an email asking how they accomplished it. You are right about the concession trailers they are way too expensive.
I have look at the sequia nad it seems like it would be fairly easy to build, what size trailer would I be using with that? Im going to get my trailer from Harbor Freight (unless you cna suggest a cheaper place)
Let em ask you this in regard to the Sequia, is it possible to change the interirio layout with out ruining hte structural integrity of the trailer??????????
I really dont like how its set up, I woul no use those wardrobe closets at all. They are a ton of things Id do differentyl to the inside, is that possible??????????

Anything is possible once you understand the basics of structural stability. Took me about two weeks to really get behind the concepts with the help of the advice I got here. All you really need is a basic design, and few bits of information and then you just kind of build. sumner did that with his trailer, and all the guys I see at the local car show did thiers the same way. No plans. Just a concept. It isw the same way I built my 53 Chevy out of a truck full of parts. Just kinda did it after making myself a basic outline.
