I would not be able to answer that, as you didn't mention what it would go into. But what I would do is take the blue paintsrs tape and lay it out on the floor and that will give you your layout dimensions on your truck or trailer.
After I build my food trailer, I am flying to the Chicago area to get me a breakfast burrito!!! - Thank you Frank, the dream is now closer to a reality because of you. I cant wait to get started.
Hi Frank,The generator that appears in the video could be used to connect a 120v and 1800w electric fryer, a frezzer and a mixer, for how many hours can the generator be running in the day?
Do you have any videos on how to start up your new trailer? We purchased a new one and we have no idea how to just get started? Do we fill the water heater? Do we need to plug things in? Just a basic tutorial of how to begin..Thanks
I can definitely make something like that. It's just like an on demand water heater in your house you don't fill that up, it heats water as it passes through
It would be great if a company could take a customer-provided cardboard template and make the side panels to fit the curve of the trailer roof. Can they do that? Also do you know if there is any reason not to have one made locally? Do municipalities require a "certified" hood? Do insurance companies require it?
I know in my municipality they do require a certified Hood, I don't know about insurance companies but I would assume yes. They price gap can't be that big buying FROM HOODMART or having it built locally. Or maybe it is. Haven't looked into it
I just have one main one in the front and haven't had any issues. The LP topic im not the biggest expert on tried to look up videos on it last year and found 0 talking about W.C. I'm like what heck is that.
Hey Frank, I need some advice. I understand I can’t use just plywood behind my cooking equipment, but can I use plywood if I cover it with Diamond quilted stainless steel sheets?
I do sheetmetal for a living frank ur gaps in between the sheets were the meet we use stainless stainless steel beautystrips to cover that it would really make ur work look that much nicer. I leave a gap so ur not struggling drilling into the stainless ur beatystrip will cover the defects
Hi frank thank you your videos, so I want start food truck but I don't have ideas where I go to get permit or license for information I live in austin texas thanks men.
@@albertoramos6250 yo vivo en centro californiana yo compré el material en dos diferentes locales que venden material a $67.00 por oja de aluminio .032 4’x10’ i las pegué con 3m double sided tape trabajo bien nomas mira videos por qué ya pegado no las quitas
Looks ve your videos. I'm wanting to buy a food trailer. You have mentioned you did not like the trailers with the funny roofs. This is the one I'm look at made in mexico. What is the reason you do not prefer. I like the price. thank you for videos and advice
Yes the price is great, but do your due diligence. Equipment make sure they use good quality, where they install the water heater and everything else. I personally don't like them but you might get a good one hopefully. If you have to fix something that was not good quality then that price just goes up and up.
Frank! Love your videos bro. I am building my own food truck out of a trolley bus down in Bloomington, IL. The hoods from hoodmart only go out to 30 inches and part of the code down here is to have the fume hood go six inches past all cooking surfaces. All the LP deep fryers I am looking at are right around 30 inches in depth. Do you have any suggestions for "low profile" propane deep fryers (depth of 24 inches or less)? Ground or tabletop are ok for me. Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to seeing what kind of price you get on your setup. Keep up the good work up north!
Great question. I'm going to be uploading something on this soon because I have used 2 different ways. One for a table and one for a chef base. On tables just use a 1.5 inch Flange base and screw it to table
@@fbaltierrez I’m going to be attaching a flattop and a two burner stove to a chef base. I found BK Leg Sockets I’m going to screw to the top, and then drop the stove legs into (they look like the part that sits on the underside of a stainless table where the tube legs slide into) I’m thinking I’m going to use a nice new drill bit, use oil keep the bit cool, and slower drill speed, to drill pilot holes, then secure with self tappers. If I’m not mistaken, the chef base tops are pretty thick. I looked up the 1.5” flange base, that’s pretty much the same thing I’m using, but the flange is square.
Hi brother I’ve been seeing your videos for a couple of months now I have a question I am asked you on a previous video regarding a generator you told me about the Westin house the 4500 I’ll be receiving my trailer I just bought it’s a 20 footer it has one two door refrigerator to door a countertop refrigerator and it has a Electric water heater and the water pump is that enough for that generator I am plus the instructors
What i would recommend you do is add up either the amps on the equipment information plate and multiply the number by 120 and get the watts. Add all those up and if they equal below the running watts on the generator then you should be good
So nothing in that corner needs power. I’m running all propane too. So that plug right behind the griddle is extrA? Also Is that one ran off the same HR as the water pump
Good video. I got a Snap-on truck to convert into a food truck about 3 weeks ago. I’ve watched all your videos. Built a 55 inch vent hood from sheet stainless from scratch. I’m almost done! Just plumbing remaining. And the vinyl wrap. Thanks for your videos
He man.....I love these videos. I sat down and watched all of them last night.....1 question though.....actually 2 lol. 1 could you show the seems between the wall and rather ceiling a little closer, I’m trying to see how they meet up and then 2. Another electrical question...did you say that the outlet for your refrigerator was the only thing running to the bottom circuit....so that means that the hood is running to the top circuit along with all of the lights and other outlets? Can’t wait for the next video.....you are absolutely inspiring me to chase my food trailer dream.
Hey frank very nice videos Very helpful I really appreciate you tips But can you tell me what can I get those flanges For the legs of the tables I've been looking for those things for days now I don't seem to find it Thanks for you help
Hey Frank Thanks you for sharing all your knowledge, Would you be able to tell me where you got the prep tables from.? or add a link... Thanks, Really appreciate.
I ended up buying a used trailer that was only 8 months old half what the original owner spent. With your videos I felt more confutable knowing what I was buying. :) I saw your prep tables lower shelf. I wanted to share that in mine they flipped the lower shelf, so the lips were upright so that there was a ledge for items not to fall while driving.
If my trailer only 5’ 7” what sizes would you recommend and I want to do all Electrical equipment so what kind of hood and vent system do I need trying to save money and don’t have any idea and getting to this part in my build thanks for any info
Hey Frank, great videos. We are looking for a refrigerator, what kind and how big did you end up getting? This one seems tough without breaking the bank.
