Last summer we were setting up a wedding tent in a customers backyard, and I noticed in the back of their property was a 2 stall horse trailer stuffed in the tall grass. So before we left after the setup, we got to talking to the customers about it and basically they didn't want or need it. So after checking it out and inspecting it closer it was in need of some major repairs like the frame rusted out. I paid $150 for it and took it home as is when we went back for the tear down. I have the new steel to repair the frame. We will be building it into a mobile bar once some other projects are completed. One of the girls who work for us might even start her own business bartending from this trailer too. Opportunities are around, sometimes you just have to be patient and aware when they do come around to you.
I like that idea too. I've been renting out my vehicles on Turo. And it being your baby, is just something you have to overcome and be ok with damage. If I was renting out a bar trailer, I'd just take pre rental and post rental pictures. And have the renter sign a document stating that they are responsible for damage. You could even collect a refundable deposit like hotels do. Just some thoughts! :)

Awesome find.
Great find, post some pics when you finish it! Good luck
If you stay in an apartment where would you store them mobile bar ? Also do you feel this is a seasonal business ?
It is seasonal. I’d see if there is a spot I could rent and if not, rent a parking spot at a storage facility
My question is where does the electricity come from to install an air conditioner or small fridges or if a blender is needed.
Run a cord to the house or small generators. I only have lights. We run of their house.
Adam I started doing a horse trailer conversion to a mobile bar do you have any suggestions as far as insurance other than liquor liability
Are you serving from it?
Are mobile bars a seasonal business?
I’m in the northeast. So for me, yes.
Great video. Going to have to look at her vids
Love Chelsea!
I like the easiness of just renting it. Yet, I know how she feels about it being her baby.
