I picked up this trailer a few months ago. Thinking I needed something to haul all the kids camping stuff, toys etc. and my hunting gear. I started with a pretty clean trailer and sprayed the bed with U-Pol Raptor bedliner. Then I designed an extended tongue after stealing ideas from other trailers. I wanted to mount a cooler, maybe a battery system, inverter, and a tongue box to hold some of that stuff.
I had a local fabricator welded it up and it came out great. I disassembled the various parts, bead blasted, primed and painted the tongue parts. I added a receiver in the rear with future plans of a spare tire carrier and whatever else I can come up with. Possibly a toilet seat receiver too? In the rear are new waterproof, recessed LED tail lights. Certainly more to come....

Those trailers are wicked cool. Subscribed :thumb:
 
Pretty sharp. Don't need one, don't have a place to put one, but I sure do want one:D
 
I made some brackets so I can mount dual 1.3 gallon LP tanks to the sides of my trailer. I also just ordered a water holding tank that's going to mount under the trailer and hold about 10 gallons of fresh water. The plan is to mount a tongue box to the front with a 12v battery and an inverter which can then power an inline pump so I can shower, wash, etc with stored water. I also have a propane heated camp shower so camping can be totally dry yet somewhat comfortable.

:thumb: post some pics up if that under trailer tank when you get it.
 
I will. Should be here on Wednesday but will need to fab up some mounting straps. I have a trip scheduled for this weekend so I may get it in prior. Will post up for sure, thanks for the encouragement.
 
I fabbed up some brackets for a water tank I had made. There is a local company here in Tustin called Ronco Tanks. They make about every size and shape tank you could think of. Anyways, the tank dimensions worked out well and I was able to make some brackets for it.
