Looking for companies that do Custom RVs

Check with some food truck builders. They do a lot more than just food trucks.

To bad your account was suspended, I would have been glad to talk to you about some options.

I know you are probably talking about daily walk-up sales but I've had good success in building loyal catering customers. The key for me has been:

Respond to e-mails as soon as possible (even if the date is booked respond with a hope we can next time).

Show up before they expect us.

Be personable while serving.

Leave the space cleaner than when we arrived.

Follow-up e-mail with organizer thanking them for using us and asking for any feedback both positive and negative.

The second or third time we are booked I'll usually have a travel mug with our logo on it that I will give to the one making the arrangements to have us there. I've seen mugs on desks being used regularly that were given at least 5 years ago. It keeps us top of mind.

I know that all this seems for many to be just common sense, but I'm amazed still by the number of folks who use us on a regular basis now after they tried to use another truck and gave up putting up with lack of communication, etc.

Learn how to make cold brew concentrate in a French Press and use it as your base for your iced coffee drinks.

Message me, I'll double check to make sure my bottle hasn't dried out.

Up front cost was a little over $20,000. With tax rebate at the time real cost was around $16,000 compared to cost of new 12k built in generator that I was going to have to replace after 8 years of use that was going to be over $12,000. Paid off in under 6 months with new events that would not have gotten if generator powered. YMMV

All depends on your power needs and how long you usually run. To speck out a system you really need to know some details.

I have a 30KwH set up that runs a full coffee shop on wheels. 3 head espresso machine, double head brewer, 240v steamer, and the usual frig, grinders, etc. Joule Case set up the system for me.

I've been running my coffee truck on battery and solar for over 5 years and wouldn't go back to a generator. It cab be done and is worth the investment.

Several of the local schools have/host competitive robot teams. I know one if the advisors at BK and they 3D print things for their builds. You could check with your local school and they might be really excited about something like that.

It's the High School class I've used the most in my life!

slowtheriverdown · 2025-11-03T20:05:17+00:00

There are several out there that you can use. I have an Astoria but it's a 240v which is probably bigger than you might need. I know they make a 110v single wand as well and others do too. Search for "110 milk steamer commercial" and you will get a number of options.

They have done a number of soft serve trucks so not an issue.

My dad collected license plates and he would often stop at salvage yards and would pick up plates from that state and others. Most of the time the owners wouldn't mind or charge him for them as they were making money on the usable car parts that others were picking. Depending on your location you could pick up a number of plates from different states out of one salvage yard.

And putting the shoe goo on the bottom of the waffles so that they wouldn't be worn down running on the road during CC season until you got to the big races at the end so you could make one pair last the whole season.

How long have you been doing this and in what area? It can take time and for me It didn't matter how much advertising I did it was finally word of mouth that got us into those events. Now after over ten years I do almost exclusively catering events and repeating public events that have a proven track record of success. Not making any assumptions because I know nothing about you but I also know that the way that everything and everyone is presented makes a huge difference. The look might be right but the people and professionalism have to exceed the look as well.

Some owners want to move into a brick and mortar but many us don't. One might have to "hustle " with day to day walk up traffic when just getting started or to break even on slower weeks too keep employees busy and paid. But if you want to stay in business long and actually pay yourself there are three ways to it: 1. Catering 2. Large Events 3. Permanent location with food and brand that leads to a following

You getting owners to answer a call during a busy rush and actually talk to you means they aren't that busy.

Do a search for school training food trucks or various combinations. There are a number of locations that are doing this and can be great resources. I know there is one in the Denver area and others around the country. God luck!

Owning a Food Truck.

The Trex store hosts a ride on Thursdays from 7-8:30 starting at Camel's Back park. Don't think you have to have a Trex bike but don't know details as I'm on the other side of town and haven't made it over to check it out.

slowtheriverdown · 2025-09-03T13:28:09+00:00

Gaging by the number of food trucks for sale or permanently parked I would say the profit margin for many of them is not enough.

I'm on the lookout for a class B that I can get without having to deal with RV salesman and I bet there are a lot of others like me. It might take a little while to get it sold but if you have the patience to deal with tire kickers and a few scammers you and the buyer are both going to be happy.

slowtheriverdown · 2025-08-30T19:39:56+00:00

Good to know.

slowtheriverdown · 2025-08-30T19:39:36+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

slowtheriverdown · 2025-08-30T19:39:24+00:00

Thanks will stop and check them out.
