    Yes. I have been using them for about a year. Really help sag. In fact I had to adjust my WDH after I put them on since the truck sat higher.

    Converted an old 5x10 cargo to a camper with the help of my daughters. Just got it painted.

    You have the "real" gas can, not the plastic fake cans. Nice!

    Thought you'd never ask. I kept it as a cargo trailer so I could still move things with it. As you can see beds fold up and out of the way. The A\C comes out during winter and I have a window that goes there. All the stained wood you see is pallet wood from work. My youngest daughter painted the forest mural(Christmas present) that you see over the bed. the green wood is tongue and groove from Lowe's. Got almost 12,000 miles on it since retiring last June. The deck on top is from a neighbor taking down his patio cover. They're Sip panels. Aluminum with a foam core. Really helps keep it comfy inside and I can carry more stuff if need be. It's strong enough to walk on.

    Not sure why it sent twice. Too old, too much technology.

    this is one thing I really
    Like about the micro minnies with the lift (standard now). Without the lift it’s too low.

    Rented a teardrop for a recent trip. Worked well, but won't support us going forward with a growing kid.

    Just put down the deposit on a 2019 model of this which should serve us 3 for years to come.

    14' long and only 6'4" wide means it'll fit beside our garage and not have to pay for storing somewhere so we can keep it ready to go.

    One (very simple) thing I always thought would help the smaller single axle trailers in particular - a basic sway bar attachment across the axle. Design would be a small straight round bar and clamps to the axle to keep it high, 90º bends both ends, threaded eyes and links up to the frame and so on.
    Pulling our outfit in Wyoming was tough on a nice day - and a "stop as soon as possible" on a bad one. I sketched one out to put on one axle of my Jayco - and then we moved and I sold it. I thought I would start with a 5/8 dia 4140 bar and go from there. The way they work is pretty uncomplicated and on a bar axle trailer it seems like a good idea.
    Obviously there is a cost involved - but it seemed to me like it would be a good "option" to go along with the lifts they now offer.

    Picked up the new (to us) trailer yesterday.

    Got home and mounted a trailer valet 5X to navigate it into it's new parking spot. Just enough room when tucked up to the garage to be able to open the door and pack before leaving.

    14' long, 6'5 wide and 1250lbs dry is a great match for the Tacoma, and to store it at home instead of having to rent a spot.
