Flight line operations cart, trailer or what have you.

Our gliding club operates from 6 different launch points on 3 different runways and utilizes a small cart to carry everything we need for our operation. It is a plywood box structure mounted on a small metal frame with a trailer hitch to be towed by our retrieve quad.

While it is OK and has served us for many years, we would like to make some changes and would like to hear from others what they might use, pictures would be most welcome.

Glider club buses, especially double-deckers are great. Many have cafes with soup, sandwiches, snacks, and hot tea and cold drinks. https://tinyurl.com/y2txmh4r

Some holiday caravans have also been used. We could get a cozy 16 or so in the old two door at Enstone and make hot tea. It also served to hold the club chutes, a radio, and some comfort for the duty pilot. It had big windows which was a plus.

I dont think a bus was what Mike had in mind. But I drove an old bread truck, like the current delivery service Van's. Steps to enter, big windows, converted with bench seats/storage under, small table for logbooks.
If you want to stick with towbehind -- how about a pickup bed trailer? The little half tons are lite to hitch, carry a full ton.
(It is a lesson in CG packing.) Could have fold out awning for wet/sun protection for ground crew. Could tow with a soul or three on board for a scamper team to clear a runway.
ATVs might look cool, but golf carts beat them for utility in staff transport.
Let me know if you need a photo for clarification.
