Just because a person tells you something, doesn't make it true!

The post was deleted because when we clicked on the link the message "Page could not be found" came up. Jerry was notified of the reason, and invited to re-submit the correct link if. Just trying to keep things somewhat relevant to the thread.

Can cazador pull that thing behind his RV? Add a snow cone machine, funnel cake fryer and a cotton candy maker and you can rake in some additional income!

It's obvious Jerry's camper/tent setup wouldn't work very well in a Metro or inner city location.

That being said, if you were to be traveling through remote rural areas around the country it's probably acceptable by many of the locals. I always say to each his own, whatever works for you is fine by me!

Splitpit, you might very well be in the same position that Jerry is in someday. Did you ever give that any thought when you turn 60-70 years old!

Jerry is very different from many of us.....but I'll always give him credit for at least trying.

Regarding the Novus tent guy at trade center.

Well, from what I personally seen and witnessed he always has 1-3 cars parked in front of his booth for repair any Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Now, just to be honest with others he does work some long days at this location. 8am-7pm Friday-Saturday and 9am-6pm on Sundays. What he can't repair he schedules mobile Mon-Thusday( 10-15 or more) So lets add all this up...at his lowest end he's making $2300 - $2700 per week simply by setting up his tent. I've asked other vendors about their daily fees around him and it ranged from $75-$125 per day Lets say he pays the max at $375 per weekend which he probaly does. That still leaves him making over $2000 every week after expenses. Not a bad living by my standards.

Before you make a comment Splitpit.......I've already seen this take place with my own eyes. So it's not just some he said she said B.S. This guy really has a profitable setup and location.
