    Ours was designed to fit the tow rig.......then we got a different tow rig....
    On the plus size it's not much wider than the Taco.

    P7140369.jpg

    Here is the basement layout. It's basically a plywood H rib to give the support needed for the bed above. The full width section toward the front holds the EZ UP. It's accessible from either side. The center section is divided by side. One side holds tables, chairs and other accessories; the other side holds awnings, dishwash bins, etc. The back wall is the divider for the water tank.

    The basement adds and extra foot to the total height of the trailer. That's important when you have a normal size garage door....


    Oh my! That is bad!

    I'm thinking about the COG but my basement is going to be a pre built truckbed storage box probably just accessible from the passenger side, but it has 2 drawers. And it's pretty heavy so that lowers COG alot.

    I've seen opposing service tats on the same person, but never combined...that's beyond confused.

    Thanks and sorry no sister. She's unique! She's got an older brother but he's already married

    That's why the water tank is exactly between the wheels. It's as low as it can get and over the axle so it has as little effect on the COG and tongue weight as possible.

    As far as the COG goes almost everything above the basement is air, everything heavy is floor level of the trailer or only slightly above. It's not tippy in the least off camber.

    I kinda get to cheat a little with the height. Right now my trailer has no suspension and is really low. So part of making it a dual purpose trailer I'm going to make it a trailing arm suspension on air bags so I'll be able to play with the height a little and still be able to get decent ground clearance...lots to do but pretty simple actually.

    There's plenty of high ground to go to. But I hope things are ok.

    Ok All done I saw we..... typed a lot but only saw she in the pictures hmm . Mounting the pelican box states then "We" and the only one in the picture is she ahh lol.

    @wildcrow Awesome build nothing I can really steal but maybe some lighting replacement ideas. I have to admit as a structure guy when you first showed the hitch from the company I was kind of like WTF it looked more hobbyist rigging. And then later when it did crack yeah anyhow it is a beautiful rig . It was funny that one guy wanted you to post your plans up on sketch up lol nice handling him :}
