Is this from experience? Or is it just apprehension? You might note that all of America is served by tractor-trailer units. In-town delivery units are smaller than OTR rigs, but not by much. And how do you think your favorite bar gets its beer? Combination rigs are the rule, not the exception for the distribution business.

Try your question over on one of the "egg" forums as to city accessibility.

Backing can be minimized with even the barest amount of planning. And there are plenty of places, paid and unpaid, where one can legally park overnight or up to a specified number of days.

It still makes more sense to use a trailer than to overspend on a single vehicle -- quasi motorhome -- and have less of everything needed (water, food, decent shower, etc). And one can have a vehicle better suited to solo driving in all instances.
