If you go with any trailer, RV or utility check out the gas powered trailer dollies or trailer tug. That might allow you to drop it and then move it into place. I used an electric one to park on the side of our house and it was a breeze and I could get it into a very tight spot.
Now this is good to know. I've never seen one - didn't know they existed - but in most cases being able to move the trailer independently from the rig in this manner would solve most all access issues.
I've been looking at Toy Haulers and it seems many if not most utilize the cargo bay for beds or lounge because the idea is you get where you're going and unload your toys. In my case that wouldn't work very well.
It may sound sketchier than a Skoolie at a Walmart but really looking at what I need and considering all of the good input here, the best solution would be to buy a 17' U-Haul truck and a Bumper Pull Trailer. Build an "Office" into the front of the box and use the rest for the display and product.
That would provide lodging and local transportation as well as room for the show setup and inventory. The trucks are V-10's usually with +- 95,000 on them for $10,000. Even if it lasted only 2 years replacing it would be easy and less expensive than using up a Class A. The truck could be "tidied up"...paint the cab..nice seats. Build in a quiet generator to run air in back.
The whole thing could be put together for around $35,000.
