[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 212744, member: 33"] After selling everything 3 years ago and enjoyed my time off/away; But now I’ve got the bug to get back into the business. However, I am at a crossroads on what vehicle to purchase. In a few of years, I am planning on getting back into the Wedding Biz. If I am on a downtown job, I want to be able to put all the gear into 1 vehicle (no trailer) and head the gig. After unloading, I want to be able to pull it into the buildings parking garage without any issues. I currently own a ’16 Golf R for my daily/commuter and it works great for the freelance/walk in gigs. My previous gear hauler was a ’06 Chevy 3500 Express cargo van (diesel and extended version). This was a GREAT hauler but with 1 HUGE issue; it didn’t fit in parking garages (in DC & Baltimore). Before the Cargo Van, I had an ’04 Chevy Silverado 1500, 4x4, Crew Cab, 5.5’ bed with a 5x8 Cargo Trailer. Part of me wants Mini Cargo Van, but for the house stuff I think see myself needing a Truck instead. I do have around a $8k-12k budget, I can’t afford anything new. Mini Cargo Van: Ford Transit Connect, LWB, 2014+ Ram Promaster City Truck Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 1500; extended cab, 6.5’ bed with a cap/camper shell The planned Rig (some is TBD or equivalently sized): 2x SRX812w/ETX12P/DZR12 2x SRX818SP/ETX-18P/DZR18XLF 4x PRX812W/K12.2 1x 8sp case (rack mixer & digital snake) 2x EWI C005-DC trunks (cables) 2x Pelican 1510 cases (mics/work box) 1x Pelican iM3220 (mic case) 2x Chauvet 4BAR/ADJ Dotz TPar system [/QUOTE]
