Cargo Trailer, pulled by a Mini-van.
Already starting to run out of room in the trailer, due to my severe problem with GAS... (Gear Acquirement Syndrome)

I use a Ford 250 Extended van,,, should be a poll for van, you know real vans, not those wussy "family vans" 
LOL

I didn't know if I should vote trailer or other. I picked other....didn't know if 53' still fell in the 'trailer' category. 
Chrysler Town & Country mini van,all the seats out,packed from the passenger seat back.At least it's warm in the winter.

A van is the most common and I forgot to list it. Can't go back and fix it either. Most of the other are likely vans.
This is our rig. 20' double axle trailer pulled by a Ford F350 Crew Cab Pickup Truck with the big diesel.
I use an SUV.. With the seats down it can haul a nice load. I like the trailer thing but that would not work here in the City for me. Parking would be tough. tolls would be more because of the extra axles and parking garages would rip me off in the New York city.
Chevy Express 1500 with bulkhead divider and fiber body liner...the ultimate full time kj/dj vehicle. Affordable to buy, operate and most square footage for the buck in cargo area. Great gas mileage and low operating cost and high reliability. (Have 80,000 miles on the original tires!!).
As a backup I have a Dodge Ram 1500 cargo, and as a backup for that a Toyota p/u with a 5x8 enclosed aluminum trailer.
When I started in the biz, I started with the trailer, but moved into a van shortly thereafter. It sucks when you break down and AAA wont pull the trailer to the garage. After sitting with the trailer waiting for a friend with a trailer hitch to come and get me, the van became a no brainer.

LOL! Me too. I bought it;
to replace the one I wore out, barrel rolling into a tree at 70mph after a gig...:
and here is the old Blazer pulling the trailer I still have...:
