I decided to try something different with my next portable welding rig.
Since I often use my pickup to grab materials and parts for the jobs I do, I've been running two trucks in the past. A pickup and my welding truck.
This time around I'm going to try the trailer idea.
Here's some pics of it so far, not all completed yet but its done a half dozen jobs so far.

I always stayed away from the enclosed trailer rigs because of the air flow required for the welder. As long as that is ok, I suppose that it would be great.

There are advantages and disadvantages to every set up.
Trailers are easier to steel in most cases but if you need to chase a part you can leave your guys woking while you take the truck.
A truck mounted rig is more professional but your stuff is out in the elements.
Good luck with your new rig.
