I believe it's called being a Venue Virgin ...
Yes trailer has all the gear I own in it at all times, it’s more of a pain in the ass to load and and unload for every gig, I literally haven’t unloaded the trailer at home for over a yearNot sure how anybody would know what gear they’ll need to take if they don’t have any idea about the size and configuration of the venue. Do you just take everything you own and hope you have what you need?

Yep... I’m sure others do the same. Not enough room in the minivan for that. I have to be a little more strategic about what I take and what I leave behind. I would have liked to get a trailer, originally, to tow with a pickup truck I already had. The problem is; no place to put a trailer. You’re not allowed to park them in your driveway in my neighborhood, and I can’t get one in my back yard, so I have to park it in a storage facility. Not willing to do that. Now I’m thinkin’ about getting a bigger van, but I’m not sure that’s very practical either, given the 10-12 gigs I do a year.[emoji4]
Like Tunes....I loaded gear in an out of my vehicle for every gig. (it was my daily driver)
Have not looked back since I got my trailer.
For me, I just like know that...as long as I have the trailer, I know I have everything I need (and more).
Fortunately, I have a dead-end alley behind my house, so I have a place to park it.
But if not, my city allows trailers to be parked on the street, as long as it has registration and a license plate.
Not sue of your situation....
but is it possible to park the trailer where you normally stow your gear?

BTW, there are several sprinter vans listed at govdeals.com
Not allowed to park a trailer on the street in my neighborhood either (neighborhood restrictions). Since there’s no access to my back yard, and no space back there anyway, the only alternative would be to put the trailer in the garage. That would mean leaving one vehicle out in the driveway. With Oklahoma weather, you really don’t wanna leave your car in outside if at all possible. As it is, my minivan is parked in the driveway. The other thing about trailers... they get stolen all the time; even when inside locked gates. My minivan has an extremely loud and obnoxious alarm. Not sure how you trailer owners are dealing with the theft aspect?
... Do you have a friend or a relative with room to park it?
