    I think due to the fact E waste can build up in weight so quickly (a pallet just 52 inches high can weigh in excess of 1,000 lbs with JUST towers on it...) a travel trailer is NOT suitable. The frames are thin, the ladder structure is not suitable for heavy weights in any particular part of the trailer.

    I do have a proposal though...a full size van...most can be found for under a 1,000 bucks that run just fine but aren't anything at all to look at anymore and thus not suitable for MOST businesses.



    I would buy one of these, spend a weekend doing basic bodywork (read: fixing visible rust holes) and put it back in service as what is essentially on site storage, with the added bonus you can start it up and drive it away. A full size van can haul the weight, and has the space that a school would not overfill it and force you to split the load and make two trips...that is if I am reading your needs correctly that you basically want to provide the school with a place to put their scrap for your easy haul off.
