Putting together a mobile setup to make a few extra dollars. I'll upload my progress as I go, should be ready in a few weeks. First investment was yesterday, $2,400 well spent on a RC 12x6 trailer has ramp door, 2 vents, single light inside, lifetime warranty on the floor, Any comments or questions are welcome, I may have a few myself for you guys. Thanks Dan.

 
Congrats! I have a 6x12 also it is huge but a blast.

Thanks guys. I know she has room but I did not want to be bending going in and out of the trailer. I'll keep pic updated as stuff gets done, more pics coming very soon.

also thanks again chad for info on your setup and how its hooked up, not sure if i will go with quick connects or not. How long have you used your current lines for your tank??? any leaks ever with them?
 
If you need more lights, get on eBay and buy a case of the square LED worklights. They are about 1500lumens, 4" square, and you can get a case of 10 from China for $250 or so. I use them on our equipment for the infrequently used lights. They would be cheap for you to put in and take very little power to run. They are a little too underpowered and the color temp is too "cool" to be a work light IMO, but for task lights they are great.

good luck.
 
I decided to seal the floor today $33 for a gallon used less than half. take a peek.






Also got 65 gal. $129.00 water jug from fleet farm, i wanted the 125 but this will work for a little while.


Picked up a pressure washer also, got it for $799.00. Cat pump should hold up to many different jobs.

In more affluential neighborhoods, I use to get complaints about how loud my gas washer was, so I switched to electric. Quiet tool, quiet people.

Just a tip so think about. Keep up the great work though!! I love the trailer.
 
Looks great! If it was my trailer I think I would build a work bench inside and have a Rubbermaid utility cart to roll out with all your gear on it and you might want a generator for vacuum and a air compressor with a long retractable reel. Just my .02 cents
 
These are just a few pictures of my set up in a 6x12 enclosed. I have made changes and added additional storage since these photos have been taken but you get the idea.

On the floor I used two coats of roll on bedliner material and went up the sidewalls 8".

If you have any questions or need opinions on your set up hit me up, ill drop my two cents.

Yes they are Louder but I think electric are more for in the House light duty cleaning jobs, not soo much reliable for everyday, long hours maybe of use.

or If you have an Rv to give a nice pressure wash, electric won´t do the job as the Gas!!!

Great inclose trailer you bought, at the end with some Logo´s & detail services will sure look tight!!

I have a Heavy duty 16hp 4000psi B&Stratton. no complaint´s I have for my machine!!
we did a custom pipe, to the floor. we reduce the noise by a good 50%
No more inside Gases!!! that´s the best part

good luck with your Project!!!

Really Nice set up!!! Orginized:dblthumb2:
 
nice rig fatboy, I'm planning something close to yours. I'll be getting generator and carpet machine soon, sorry guys for delays want to keep the rest of it hush hush till I finish ordering it. Good equipment coming soon. retractable hose is something I'm probably going to want, also I'm going to seal the sides up too like the floor and yes there will be a nice bench in there. cant wait hold in there guys. I'll keep you posted.
 
Where did you get the bottle holders, I love it!
 
I was going to suggest you seal the floor, but you already did. Since you have sealer left, you might want to do the walls and inside the doors too.

Congrats on the trailer, btw.
 
Dam look at that mobile shop. Ball park price? I'm going with 11,500 invested.
