    Thanks for sharing the measurements for the front of the trailer. You bring up some very good points. I think my state is more flexible, but having your handwashing sink right inside the door is a great practice for good kitchen hygiene anyway.

    Hey Frank, I just found your videos yesterday and you gave me a breath of fresh air man! Previous to COVID, I owned a gym with a meal prep center in it that unfortunately shut down due to the long shut downs of gyms…. I’ve been looking to renter the game with meal prep, but with as little monthly overhead possible. Prior I was leasing a commissary, gym & equipment …. So rebuilding the meal prep side of the business out of a trailer is PERFECT!
    Question: I’m looking at a 20’-24’ used trailer… I’ve seen a lot of them used and new that very from $6,000-$10,000. What would you say is considered a “good deal” on a used or new trailer for me? Thanks sir!

    Doing some research -- what are the downsides of having the studs/framing 24inches apart vs 16 inches apart?

    • @fbaltierrez
      @fbaltierrez  2 месяца назад +1

      @TheJessgaa on the ceilings I would say the weight of the hood will be better distributied on the 16s. On the walls if you have good plywood that should be OK either one

    Hey Frank, do you think a coffee trailer would also need tandem wheels?

    • @fbaltierrez
      @fbaltierrez  26 дней назад

      @lmedina9394 depends on the weight. Tandems are definitely the way to go but for something super simple 1 axle might work

    I just bought a 7×16 flat front 2022 Interstate Trailer. I will be watching all your videos and doing my trailer from scratch too! It's going to be a coffee trailer! Have you bought one of these trailer models before? I also bought a VEVOR concession window because the ones you recommended from JR are 16+ weeks out to receive. Have you got anything from VEVOR?

    • @fbaltierrez
