A full 53 foot double drop moving van trailer. This trailer has the large barn doors on the driver side, full
height double rear doors, and three large doors on the curb side. Yes, that is a refridgeration
unit on the front. This trailer is air conditioned although we really don't see a need for it.
This trailer will be a showcase platform for the following: - Our unique storage system that provides
a very flexible method of transporting wind and percussion instruments to contests and football games.
- Our modular
second level flooring system for marching band transport trailers that allows doubling of the usable space in your trailer.
- The
best rolling percussion equipment on the field today

This is considered a "double drop" trailer although structurally there is only one
drop of the deck. The addition to the front is an air conditioner and the chilled air flows through the yellow flexible duct
along the ceiling, full length of the trailer.

The DOORS
Now that's a set of doors! Double wide and giving almost twelve full feet of access.
Good view also of the belly boxes that open to both sides.

There is great benefit to having a low deck trailer - but there are also drawbacks. Access to Memorial's band
room parking lot requires entry through a gated area that also has a large hump in the drive. We had to determine whether
the trailer could safely enter through this gated drive and cross the hump without damage to the roadway or the belly boxes.

Wow - The driver placed the trailer through the middle of the drive although the hump is less on the passenger side of
the drive. The trailer made contact with drive ever so slightly - more like a soft slide. Very sweet. The
trailer was empty for this test and, because of the air ride control system, was riding lower than the normal road height
when it would be loaded with equipment.

After a test run through the high school parking lot it was time to deliver the trailer to its new temporary home - the
infamous Club House. Here it will begin the transformation process from a retired moving van in to a Class A-1 custom
band transporter. Inside will be a modular system of storage cabinets and uniform racks, a second floor that will allow
storage of rolling percussion equipment on the lower level, and a parking location in the rear for a small utility vehicle. Outside
will be stripped of logos and refinished with Dupont Emron high gloss paint. The trailer will be finished out with vinyl
graphics bearing the band's name and logo.
