FAQ

How Much Does it Cost?

A fully outfitted Cinema & Suds trailer cost $26,500. A great price to help you start your own company! Applicable Sales Tax and additional Shipping are not included in the purchase price.

Is it heavy? Can I pull it with my car?

The base trailer weighs 875 lbs and about 1,000 lbs when fully outfitted. It can easily be towed with a car or light truck and uses a 2” tow hitch ball.

Does it require electricity?  How is it powered?

The drink system/beer taps require no electricity. However, the satellite internet, Smart TV and popcorn maker all require electricity. Each trailer has been specially designed and wired to be plugged into an external outlet or powered by the included battery generator for a truely-off-the-grid situation. A 100ft extension cord is provided for plugging in the unit.

Will It Fit in My Garage?

That depends on your garage. The height of the trailer is 8ft and most garage doors are 7ft so it will NOT fit through a standard garage door. But each customer is different.

How long does it take to make a trailer? 

We’re currently running about 3-4 months for each new trailer from the time we start your build. We partner with a trailer manufacturer who takes 2-3 months to build the DOT approved base trailer. We then customize and outfit the trailer which takes another month.

How do I get my Trailer?

Most of our sales are from remote purchasers. And as such we ship or locally deliver almost every single trailer we build.

If you’d like us to ship your trailer, we will provide a quote as shipping is extra and can be included in your invoice. Payments can be made via credit/debit card, ACH or wire transfer.

We also deliver (free of charge) within a 20 mile radius of Chicago (most of the Chicagoland area).

Who Does the Manufacturing?

We currently partner with Discovery Trailers to build the base trailer for all of our Cinema & Suds Trailers. We decided to partner with a well-established trailer manufacturer due to their overall quality, safety, and ease of paperwork.

Each trailer meets DOT specifications and is safe to use on public highways. They also provide all of the paperwork to title the trailer and provide the license plate documents to the State of Illinois.

What is your payment policy?

We require a 50% deposit upon ordering and the remaining 50% final payment once completed.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. For well-qualified buyers. For financing, we require a 50% minimum deposit and you can choose to finance any remaining amount over a 1yr-3yr term. Current interest rate is 10% APR for financing. Contact us for more information or to discuss the payment options.

I want to start my own entertainment trailer rental company. Can I add my own logo and company name to the trailer?

Yes! We love helping people start their own company! A Cinema & Suds trailer is the perfect product for block parties, corporate events, tailgating and weddings. Renting your trailer is a great way to make some extra money! If this is your intent, please let us know and we will remove all of our company branding from the trailer so you can add your own once it arrives.

This Sound Perfect! How Do I Purchase?

Text/email, or use our Ordering Page to contact us for a custom quote.

Once you contact us, we will email you your quote and confirm your design choices. Your 50% deposit can be safely and securely placed online using a credit/debit Card or ACH, and Bank Wires are also accepted.

Note: Sales Tax will be charged for any customers based in Illinois.

Pickup Deadline

All trailers must be picked up within 14 days after completion. Shipping, delivery, or pickup is the buyer’s responsibility.

If you choose to arrange your own shipping with a third party company, please do your due diligence. Ensure that they are licensed, insured and well reviewed.

Registrations and Titles

Every trailer sold will come with a title. This will make transferring ownership and registration across state lines simple and straightforward.

The title will be mailed to you once it’s issued by the State of Illinois. This will help expedite your state registration and get you going as quickly as possible.

However, it can take up to 2 months for the State to send us the title.

Our trailers are all registered and road legal from the moment they are built. Temporary license plates will be provided.
