Where are you going to mount the mini split?


The mini split outside unit will be mounted on top part of Gooseneck and the inside will be mounted on front wall there so we will not have to drill many holes and it will look nice. This trailer is an almost new 1985 Chaparral and want to keep it fairly original if possible. The trailer was going to be used for a Pro Stock Truck in NHRA and they killed that class so this guy parked it inside a shop up on stands and that is where it sat until we got it. We replaced the tires because they were old but they were brand new and kept inside and off the ground. The generator had 3.7 hours on it first time I checked it. We did have to clean the carb and change the choke on it but it sat forever.

By the way the guy we got the trailer from had spare wheel bearings, spare filters, fuel pump for generator and boxes of spare parts for everything in it. He left it all. The trailer was loaded with most all options available at that time, insulated, really nice cabinets and storage. The roof top air works like new but there is better, more efficient Air Conditioning now so we are going to do that.

They were great trailers...
Pouch sides and tons of nice cabinets for storage
Frank Iaconio had one and it was previously Bill Jenkin's I believe
I did some work at Frank's and stocked the trailer up before a race with various things..........early 1990's.....

Biocth, your trailer looks and your shop looks like Beverly Hillbillies with so much cr@p piled in there and you talk about my stuff? Wait, you do not even have a shop, you have to beg space from a friend to work on your junk.

If you can not afford a big enough trailer or a shop then you should not talk about my stuff. I could put 6 of your trucks and trailers inside my shop and two more under the car port on the side and you talk about my stuff.......

I could care less if you like my stuff or not and everything I own is paid for in full. I do not owe anything but utilities and insurance.

I just checked with my local dealer and he has three Honda EU7000is in stock so availability is no longer an issue as it was when I got 2 last year after waiting about 6 months

I loves me a hot shower at the track after racing. My 7000is will run the water heater, A/C, and fridge at the same time. I haven't tried running the microwave to the mix yet. I've run both A/Cs at the same time and it hasn't missed a lick yet. We use about 3.5 gallons every twelve hours. I fill the tank at eight in the morning and eight at night. I've got 1100 hours on the unit now.
