CV started with a small trailer for everything. It took a Tetris Master to pack that thing! Then had a box truck that wasn't built out. We built it out my first year. From the pit side, the truck was a blessing and a curse. We had room for everything, and were able to protect our equipment, but the loading ramp was too narrow for all keyboards save one and when it rained, that ramp was slick as oil. Plus, the floor of the truck was almost shoulder high, which meant quite a push on that short ramp. We stored everything in there one year. The next two we used the truck for percussion, guard & field equipment (inc water jugs) and the trailer for horns. (The truck towed the trailer and you should have seen that thing fling around on the open road!) The cost of upkeep on the truck was getting unmanagable, so the next season we purchased a long trailer with a drop down door/ramp and used the 2 trailers for the next 2 years. We stored instruments in the trailer year-round when we couldn't find space at our rehearsal site. We'd take the long trailer on short trips and use both for long trips by either renting or borrowing F-150's. But that was as of 2 years ago. I've passed on my title of Truck B!tch to the next generation of pit people, and don't know what they're using these days.
