I might sound negative ,but I just want to give you some practical advice,and real world advice from someone who has done this before.
My advice would be to buy a nice used concession trailer(let someone else take the hit for a new trailer,there are many nice used trailers around) if you have a few bucks,you can find a nice high end used trailer that looks flashy,and is set up to code,and is easily moveable.The idea of a break down unit sounds easy,but in reality is very cumbersome and tiring,and usually people will spend alot of money on a portable custom built free standing place,and a nice high end concession trailer looks way nicer and is a pleasure to work out of,and they hold their value if you want to sell it,your break down unit will be hard to sell if you ever want to sell it without the spot.Like I said I’m not trying to disuade you from your idea,just trying to help you fine tune it and offer a voice of experience from someone who will never own a restaurant ever again,but will have fun with my concession trailers for many years to come,while I am still involved in other businesses.

I couldn’t agree more.
