I'm starting to look for an enclosed trailer with a porch area for competition and catering. Just wondering if those of you who have them would mind sharing pics of them and where you got them and the price range?
Lets talk trailers with porches

Check out Extreme BBQ Trailers facebook photos. Lots of pictures of custom trailers they have built.

Scott Smith of Southern Q Smokers & Trailers (southernqsmokers.com) specializes in equipment for competition BBQ. You can pretty much spend as much as you like on a porch trailer, as each is custom built to your specs. For a comp trailer, you can do as you like, but if you intend to do catering or vending your health department will control what you put into the trailer.
If you're going that route, best to check with the HD first, because it's a lot easier to build it right from scratch than it is to retrofit an existing trailer to meet the many (and sometimes ridiculous) requirements of the government regulators.

Yep, I have the requirements from our Dept. of health and will be making sure any trailer i purchase meets the requirements.

In for the info. Still trying to decide if the porch is worth the extra money over a standard enclosed.

I will tell you mine was just over $30K. But it was longer than normal with a bunch of custom stuff.

i have a standard enclosed now but am getting tired of the work of loading and unloading smokers and setting everything else up. the porch option might be expensive but I'm starting to think it's worth it as I can expand into full catering and have 1/10th of the work of setup at a contest.

One thing I would have done to our trailer is add the porch, it would definitely make setup a whole lot easier.

Complete has some pretty nice looking trailers. I'm really liking the one with the pop out bed.

Complete trailers in Colorado was only $1000 more expensive than extreme was with great customer service. Have heard nothing but good things about them. You get what you pay for.

Freedom is a manufacturer - they don't sell direct. My guess is they sent your request to the closest local dealer and that dealer dropped the ball.
That's the advantage I see of dealing with Southern Q - Scott deals with the factory and handles any special work like mounting smokers at his shop. Better prices than what you find from the ebay sellers of Freedom too.
