[QUOTE="Rob Gow, post: 129329, member: 206"] 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: [img]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z398/robare99/9B120B38-9A4F-4A4E-A94A-6FE649659A7C.jpg[/img] 3D Tetris.
