Just so you know I'm not trying to say you can't afford just trying to get you to think everything through. I have a small business as well and have to think through these decisions.

And that's also why I think there way to pricey and I'm going to buy one and just do everything I want to it myself I mean I have time on my hands 24/7 and have no excuse for buying a 17,000 dollar trailer and I wouldn't feel right just wasting away my moms loan like that

yeah ,you can build that same trailer set up for alot cheaper.even like some one said ebay craigslist they are everywhere,and yes in your state you need insuransce not only for an accident but trailers are very easy to steal even with all those trailer locks,all your chemicals tools ur whole buisness is in that box if its stolen your out a buisness at least with insurance you can go buy the basics and keep working to a degree

Go for it. Get a good internet site up. I'd hire you. Don't worry about the towing either. I tow my 21 foot center console to the coast and back all the time with my 5.3 liter. It handles fine.

I'd buy the trailer on ebay as others have said someone is always selling them cheap and dare I say nicer. You could outfit a trailer with everything probably straight from Northern Tools for half the price.

That guy is in the business of selling trailors not making sure your business is a profitable one. The more effort you put in now the faster you start turning a profit.

People buy plans not ideas for a reason so hopefully u and your mom have a plan to set proper expectations for both parties. Kudos to both of you for being able to make this happen.

They all look really good... But damn that is a big ass trailer to be carying not a lot of stuff. Plus have to look at your clientele. When you have to take that big ass trailer to a small complex or a house that is hard to get to and try to maneuver the trailer in small spaces. Just a thought. I mean have gone to house's to detail and it is hard to fit my Tahoe in and just thought there would have been no way I could have had a trailer get back to the house.

Yeah I know there huge but I found a trailer dealership near by and there all more expensive like a grand more for smaller so I'll just keep checking on ebay
