Needing some advice from the seasoned pro's out there...
I am ordering a concession's trailer to serve BBQ out of. We will use it for catering, competitions, and also want to do some "roadside" concessions to make a little money.
I am looking at a 7x16 with a full electrical, sink package, 4 foot hood, and A/C included.
I was originally asking for quotes on a 100 amp electrical panel because I wanted all electric appliances. I don't have much experience with LP and I had heard they cost more. A few vendors pushed back on me though saying I couldn't get 100 amps from a generator so why have the panel? I did some checking and found most generators have either a 20 or 30 amp output. So, I started asking for a quote on a 50 amp panel / 30 amp cord and also a full lp setup. Now I'm shopping for appliances and lp runs about 500% - 1000% more on cost than electric. OUCH!
So......
Are you electric or lp? What do you recommend?
If you are electric - how do you get enough juice to run everything you need?
Thanks!!!!!!!
