The Toolbox Book by Tolpin has a chapter dedicated to a workshop built into
the back of a full-size van. An enclosed trailer is roughly the same size,
so I'm sure it will work fine. But the question I have is where you will be
going to install your cabinets. If you're out in a rural area or in the
suburbs, you'll be just fine. But if you'll be visiting customers in the
city, you'll have problems maneuvering and parking your trailer and the
full-size truck required to tow it.

I'm thinking of how I'm going to transport my finished cabinetry once
it's ready to install. An old U-Haul truck would be nice I guess, but
I'm concerned about the cost of keeping up, insuring and driving a
full-on cube truck. What I am wondering is if a large (TALL) enclosed
trailer would suit my needs?

I'd like to have it equipped with a full set - and I mean 100%
complete - of tools necessary to install the cabinets and
architectural woodworking I plan on building. At the shop I *was*
working, it is a gigantic cluster**** whenever we'd go to an install,
running around grabbing a tool here and a tool there and then not
having what we need and spending precious manhours taxiing back and
forth to the shop.

Anyone have any experience with this?
