Another thing I want is LED lights.. I am
changing all my exterior lights this year
since I have a light issue from when I bottomed
out last year and screwed up the wiring

Locomotion had a good list. I forgot as a "wish" list:


* Bogey wheels or skids help keep from dragging the tail on hills/dips.

And maybe some RV type jacks at the rear corners so you can load and unload without having the truck connected.

Adding to wish list, built in air tank(s) and maybe even an air compressor. The "portable" air tank is another item that takes up space, and is either in the way, or stored in a hard to get at place.

CJD, that is a splendid trailer! How long is the garage vs. the living area?

I asked about bogey wheels and 3 different people said don't bother they hang to low and won't help out on my gravel driveway. They all suggested getting a piece of heavy wall pipe, cutting it in half, and welding it in areas that are issues. Mine being across the rear of my trailer because I back it down the hill and it levels off at the bottom.

Now 4 people. They hang too low and get torn off. The rolling pipe is the way to go and can be tucked up tight.

I'll throw in. I needed a trailer that I could take my dogs and wife comfortably. I have never been okay with leaving the car in the trailer and being inside a hotel. I am worried the whole time. The power awnings are the only way to go, as the legs are very high when extended and you can drive right under. I wanted a side ramp door to put a golf cart in as well. On top of that, wanted a slide, full living quarters, dual A/C, full size shower, fridge, etc...Oh and it had to be all aluminum. I like the spread axle look, but is so hard on tires in tight maneuvers, so no spread, but 17.5" tires. Took a LONG time to find a used one in my price range, but did actually find one. Not the color I wanted, but can't have everything!

Very nice. Anyplace I would go is 2-5 days and/or multiple events. I gave up on hotels looong ago. Motor homes are nice, but a truck with an LQ trailer makes sense for me. A vehicle that can be used for towing and also for transportation during the week or to leave the track if needed for supplies, go to dinner, whatever. The ATC units I've seen are super nice. Dealing with the DOT cops has become a big part of the equation over the last few years.

Got a picture of this set up?

I don't, sorry. Trailer is up against the fence! I just used a scrap piece of pipe with another slid inside. The inside piece has brackets on each end, that captures the larger piece, and attaches to the frame. If it bottoms, the long pipe distributes the load down the length into the frame and rolls to reduce friction against the asphalt or concrete.
