    Someone mentioned the box trucks that rental companies use. I've been noticing that they look good and should have plenty of room. How much would it cost to have a side door installed, if anyone has looked into this. Thanks, john

    John I have heard 900 to 1800 depending on your options but all well spent imo if you set it up nice for your particular equipment layout! so maybe plan ahead for a future Softner, post heat, freshater tank, filter boxes and stuff like that so measure and remeasure to get yourself right the 1st time...

    so besides that if all else is equal my question is wich side of the driveay is the front door? i mean is it just 50/50 if you have to back in? anyone have a study on that!?! just a dumb thought.....

    John,

    I had one installed. $850.00. Custom size. They did a great job, very professional. WPB is on the east coast? They are about 4 hours, don't know if it worth the trip or not. If it is, let me know and I will get the info for you.

    Start by calling trailer dealers. They can install a standard size trailer door for about the same price I'm sure.

    Thanks, I don't have a box truck yet. I'm going to try to find one that comes with a side door. A couple years down the road.
