Hi,
I'm going to be starting a business and am in need of a box van or truck that has a box of about 8ft x 20ft.
The issue I'm having is I need the floor to be about the same floor height as a concession trailer which is about 18".

I'm about to resort to a 20ft concession trailer custom built for close to $20k and a used diesel truck for about $20k.
So my budget at tops for the vehicle is about $40k.

The only equipment I need inside is a 5.5ft 900lb display case, a freezer, a fridge, a 3 bin sink, and a hand wash sink and a generator to power it during the day, and just a few storage cabinets. Also need 1 or maybe 2 A/C's on roof.

The reason for the low floor is the display case sits 30" off the floor and I need the customers to be able to look in the window and see the display case so even with a trailer and a 18" high floor is close to pushing it.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas that would be great.
I guess with the drive shaft I can't have the floor as low as I'd like.
