Need Some Expert Advice

Tiki,

I'm going to move this to the "Pros" forum, where they have a lot of experience with this.

That forum is at the bottom of the main page.

steve,
ok just a few things since we haven't been at it that long.
1- go for your mobile food dispencing rating. costs 350/yr and you will be inspected 4 times. advantage over catering designation is you can cook anywhere,anything at any time.
2-before you buy anything get the plans approved 1st. this costs 150 one time
3-be aware that florida requires all smokers to be enclosed by screening at least.
4- for agency contact the florida dept of business and professional regulations
5- you will need a comissary kitchen for grey water dump and potable water even if you do get the mfd designation
6- for fun in this thread look up "took the plunge friday" and "trailer tech delievery delays" this will give you an idea of what fun ordering a trailer for deleviry in florida can be with 4 hurricanes. but i still can say i was very happy with trailer tech.
7- i can really highly recommend cookshack. we have both the fec100 and sm150 in our rig (for pics see "2 greyhound rig pics we hope" in this thread). cookshack extended our warranty when we explained the delay on delievery due to the hurricanes!!!!!!!
8- i know i left something out but this is the best top of the head stuff i got.
if peg or i can be of any help please feel free to email and we will help all that we can.
9- and dont forget to keep coming to this forum. you would not believe the help and support that we recieved here!!!!!!!
hope this helps you some

ps. we drove to anderson indiana to look at the southern yankee rig. it is well made. the owner used to be an engineer at gm. but to be brutally honest it was past our start up budget and now i am glad of it lol

Here's where you can download or at least look at the application Jack mentioned:

Here's the application packet:

And here is the checklist for getting you pointed in the right direction for the application:

I apologize for the redundancy but use the site to get the info for the application and plan review. This stuff will give you an idea of what you're going to need.

I've seen Jack's trailer (Plant City/KCBS) last November - it's really nice and I listen when he talks about what he'd change, delete, or what he likes about his rig.
