Vandalia huh? Home of Bob the Glasshouse guy.
I have a pick up, and a van, but keep most of the supplies on site in a job-box.

I don't have the perfect answer for you, but will throw in some ideas to consider. Getting another vehicle means another vehicle insurance payment. On the flip, leaving trailers at jobsites could mean higher chance at theft.

just some things to consider.

also, check to see what your vehicle is rated to tow. You will have to change your tags to be rated for your overall GVWR.

I can't use my van, because it is always down by the river.

ncor, Huh?
Paul, I like vans for many reasons. Oddly, I like the smell of paint too.
I love the smell of boatyards, varnish, paints, wood, fiberglass and rotting sea matter. Nothing like it!

[Glasshousebltr]

Who are you working for in Van. I've been there about 7 years now. If you ask around at the local watering holes just about everybody knows me.

If they don't know my last name just say pool Bob, they'll know who your talking about.

I Roofed that building right next to DQ about 3 years ago. Sony Vaughn slipped in and stold the siding work from me....... the maggot!

[Glasshousebltr]

Is Dana out of Ramsey? Ithink my girlfriend knows her.

I used to have a big shop on 5th street, it's a storage building now. The people I was buying it off gave me a good screwing then turned around and said I owe them money, go figure, some kind of defense twist to make themselves feel better I guess. I don't sweat it, just have to go on.
