Re: Trailer pack
Here's my trailer pack:
For me the deciding factor for getting a trailer was my LS800p subs. I always needed help lifting them onto my truck and off the truck at the gig. I could wrestle it down off the truck by myself but it was always better havin help. I hated asking my buddies all the time, "it will only take 10 minutes tops. With the ramp door I'm truly a one man show. Everything can be wheeled off with a hand truck. I DJ and also provide lights and sound for bands.
So all of this will fit inside:
3D Tetris.
First: 4 monitors, mixer table and the mixer.
Then: 3 light trunks. More monitors on the right. On the left there's a top, a sub, power amps in ATA cases and a small cable trunk:
Lastly: on the right, another top and sub, with more ATA cases (wireless mics, box with light cables etc) and another cable trunk. On the ground are the light stands and 2 sections of 8' light truss as well.
I have 3 basic trailer packs.
Bar bands with no lights, leaves me lots of extra room inside.
An open mic gig, with drums. I don't have a pic of the drums in their cases. This is an old pre-case pic, omg what a mess. (One light trunk is in the back, must have been thinking ahead 1 gig)
So I can do a lot with the trailer. I'm always thinking ahead to the next gig. This week I'll be loading in the light rig for the upcoming wedding this weekend. Then I can leave it loaded that way for the next gig which will be a bar band with the light rig as well. After that I can move the light trunks back into their spot in my garage, a workbench area.
It did take some trial and error to figure out which trailer pack worked for me, it was a complete mess when I first started, but hey, live and learn. The only thing I would have done different, is I should have went with a double axle. But money wasn't unlimited at the time.
The next one will have a dual axel.
