Sukkah Mobile
Information and Pros and Cons of Trailers, Bike Trailers, and Pickup Trucks as Platforms
(Utility) Trailer Sukkah Mobile
Here is a guide to help you understand everything about using a Trailer Sukkah Mobile.
1. The Trailer is at ground level, making it a lot easier and safer for people come in and get out of your Sukkah, and there is a ramp on most Trailers which would make your Sukkah Handicapped Accessible.
2. There are many places to rent a trailer (one being Home Depot). However you could make a trailer a one time expense and buy a utility trailer with dimensions to your preferences. (as opposed to the pickup truck where it is a yearly cost to rent.)
3. With a trailer you don't need to rent a vehicle to tow either, a tow hitch can be put on almost every car and you could find one for around $100.
4. It is a lot easier to build and design your Sukkah as a one-time thing and could be use from year to Year.
5. Depending on the size of the trailer you could make the Sukkah Larger than you would be able to on a Pickup Truck. Also the clearance height on the Sukkah would be lower on the Trailer.
6. It is harder to drive the Trailer Sukkah Mobile.
It is also important to keep in mind if you are towing the Trailer with your car not to drive so fast or accelerate quickly as this will kill the transmission.
It will take some time and practice to get used to maneuvering the trailer, besides for the general lack of mobility, and will take some time getting used to the size and the turning.
7. You are going to need a place to store the Trailer.
Pickup Truck
Less initial outlay.
Need to build it each year.
Need to rent a vehicle (pickups can be rented cheaply from U-Haul).
Sukkah will have high clearance (you should measure the height and write it down on a note that you stick to the dashboard).
Attach the Sukkah very well to the truck, the wind can make it fly off the back of the truck. Schach could fly off very easily and should be stored when driving.
