The Acadiana Food Trailer Buyer's Guide

Custom food trailers are our flagship build, and for good reason: a mobile kitchen is one of the lowest-cost ways to launch a food business in South Louisiana.

Size matters

Most first-time owners start with an 8.5' x 16' or 8.5' x 20'. Bigger builds (24'+ with a porch) fit a full commercial line for BBQ, seafood boils, and daily-lunch operations.

The must-haves

Every build needs a 3-compartment sink plus a handwash sink, an exhaust hood, and (if you're frying) a fire suppression system. These are required to pass a Louisiana health inspection.

Power & water

Decide between shore power and an onboard generator, and size your fresh/gray water tanks to your menu. We'll spec it all with you.

Build it your way

Use our Food Trailer Builder to design your rig and see a live price. Then we'll turn your selections into a firm quote.
