Thanks man
I got the water tank from the Tracker Supply Company in Deland, Florida
and yeah I built it from scratch. The trailer was already put together though :D just had to put all equipment inside. Isn't hard at all. I've been thinking about building them and then financing them. Could make some extra cash that way.
 
Just search other threads and get ideas from other peoples' setups. It is alot cheaper to build your own setup, than to buy a pre-fab set-up.

I don't know if I understand correctly...are you asking if he built the trailer itself from scratch? ot the setup inside?
 
I was wondering if the trailer itself was hand-built..ie the frame, wheels, hitch etc. ;) That would be a good side biz too...trailer rental.
 
Trailer was already pre fabricated. I built a few trailers a while ago. With the price of steel now a days, it isn't cost effective to build one. Unless you are buying steel in bulk, there aren't any savings. You will actually spend more trying to build a trailer.

I bought my 4x8 trailer brand spanking new for less than $300 after taxes.
 
Your set up looks great. The only thing I would change would be the postion of the water tank. I would place it more towards the middle of the trailer over the axle. The reason being the weight of the tank with a full load of water. This may take more room up, but it will save you big on wear and tear in the long run.

It's fine for now. Once I upgrade to a bigger trailer I'll do that. It's just a 65 gallon tank. But planning on getting a 210 once I get rolling. And putting another crew in that one.
