    hook up some nitrogen solenoids with some switches in the cab so you can adjust the height or keep it level on the trails from in the cab. thinking about doing that via airbags with for the 4-link on my trailer.

    Add a level sensor and actuator so the trailer levels itself.

    that's my plan :cool: Trailer would even lean into turns at that point too. going to have a disable switch though, so I can adjust it myself if needed.

    Yeah, that's definitely a downside to nitrogen. airbags are nice since you can just run a compressor.

    Fridge is obviously best, but dry ice does a very nice job of keeping food cold without the whole soggy aspect. For people who can't afford a fridge, dry ice and a yeti/pelican is a deadly combination.

    Sounds like maybe a watertank mounted under the frame might be a good way to keep some weight down low to help counter the dynamics of it being so tall.

    wonder if you could have custom ones made and put them in front of the shocks under the trailing arms? would probably coast a little more, but would help keep GC low and keep them centered front to back and help with tongue weight.(it wont change as much when they are full VS empty, like it would if the where more in front or behind the wheels.

    Yeah that's the plan I'm going to load it all up with my gear before I plan one out that way I can build/place it in the best spot for weight distribution.
