A lot of people are suggesting to use an ecobox/trailer combination, not realizing that they are suggesting to tow triples..... yes a Leaf can tow 1ton of hay,however, it is rated at 0lbs towing. This means you drove it and excepted all liability for any incident including non-fault for using the tool in an unsafe manner.
Sparkeysmall must move with the flow of work hear today there tomorrow. This means no spending a day going home to get the right tool for the job,a truck. Adding a car trailer and a welder trailer to the back of the 30' TT and truck + insurance on the traveling circus Caravan ,I assume permit load (over length),. Any fule savings will be consumed by the higher operating cost.

Payload2,320 tare weight 6,568 tow rating 9,300
From:
2001 RAM Pickup Payload and Towing Charts
Quote:
Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings must be decreased by the weight of: optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck, and passengers other than the driver.

They left out , tongue weight counts tords the payload. Assumeing a standard tongue weight of 10% ~ 8000 =800 +1500 (welder) =~2300lbs leaving ~20lbs for tools and other gear on the truck. This is a commercial operation, willingly exceeding the posted weight limits is opening the doorf or major law suit.
