[ ... snipped ... ]


I don't know, we have a hard enough time getting our little 5x8 trailer • in and
out of some of the exhibit halls we do shows in. I'm guessing a 14' • trailer
would be quite a chore to manuver through a hall crowded with trucks and
trailers.

Not if you are not too concerned with the body count...

This reminds me of our GATS 2003 set up.  One of the vendors started yelling
at me as I was pulling into the Raleigh Civic Center with our trailer load
of stuff.

To this day I have no idea why she was yelling at me, she claimed I was
"going to fast" and would "have to pay for everything I damaged".  Well I
didn't damage anything because I didn't hit anything and it is virtually
impossible to wander through the GATS maze at any sort of a pace that is
even close to what I would call "fast".

Back to the trailer topic, we haul the NCLTC infratructure (tables, legs,
barriers, etc.) in an open trailer.  I'd love to have an enclosed trailer
which we could just keep all of the stuff in when ever we aren't using it
but I can't complain too much, at least we have ready access to a trailer!

Here is our trailer:  http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=50556

The intierior of our trailer is just under 8 feet long.  I could definitely
see use for a longer trailer although I doubt 14' would be necessary.  If we
doubled our table count maybe but that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

(...) Our trailer is 8' long, and it seems to hold our stuff pretty well. Since our tables are 40"x40" I'm able to fit all 18 that we currently have with ease, and when we finish the next 8 tables that we are building, there is no problem with room (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains)
