i made myself one a year ot two ago to fit my pre wired truss in, so i didnt have to wire anything when i got to a gig, only (being a bit dim) i made it way to solid/heavy, it didnt fit along my van floor and when the lighting rig was inside i couldnt lift it!

 

so a complete disaster! learn from my mistakes and you should be fine! good luck

Good suggestion i think i will measure the space in the bac of my van before i make it just to check it will fit and i was thinking of either getting or making a ramp to be able to just roll it up in to my van then id even have the ramp if i was to turn up at a gig and find out there were a few steps to enter a venue was thinking of making a smaller ramp for any kerbs
