Hello Steve,

I have some questions on converting a pop up camper into a hot dog cart / food trailer similar to one that I saw on your website. Here is the picture:

coverting a pop up camper into a hot dog cart

A pop up camper converted into a hot dog cart using the E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart Video and Plans Package.

Do your build a hot dog cart plans cover how to build a trailer that cooks other type of food such as tacos?

Since the pop up trailer is somewhat open does it require vent hoods? Do you know if its considered enclosed or unenclosed?

Thanks Steve,

Csar

Hi Csar,

A pop up camper conversion like the one in the picture would not be considered enclosed unless you install full walls. You should not have to install vent hoods, etc. However, ALWAYS check with your own inspector before you start building. It does not matter what I say, it matters what your inspector says.

My plans were used to build the trailer in that picture. I do not show the pop up camper conversion in the videos but once you watch them all the way through you will be able to do it easily. It’s just a matter of gutting the camper and then building in all of the equipment such as steamers, tanks, plumbing, etc exactly as I show you in the videos.

And you can modify it to include any other equipment that you want such as grills, flat top griddles, shave ice machines, etc.

Tacos would be so easy. Just pre-cook your meats and keep them hot in the steamer. The steamer holds three 1/3 size pans so you could do beef, chicken, and pork. Again, check with your local inspector for code requirements.

Now I’m hungry. :-0

I’ll be stopping by the Hot Dog Profits Premium private members area (as I do every day) to answer any specific construction questions as you go through the videos. I’ll see you inside.

Send me some pics when you finish it!
