MAde my first tow with my CTD

I bought me an old gooseneck trailer on Saturday to tow my Scrambler around. I was fortunate to fulfill both of my wishes with one trailer.

I wanted a way to tow my Jeep and also have a place to sleep when I was at offroad events. I thought I was going to have to settle with a truck bed camper but found a trailer that will serve both purposes and still give me room to haul my stuff around too.

Here's a link to the pics

I'm going to replace the top (reskin it) and the inside needs to be completed, but once completed, I should have a nice place to sleep.

I will most likely put in a portable toilet and A/C, but probably won't go all out, I just need a comfortable place to crash out after a long day, I'll put me a pull out awning on so I will have some shade and maybe rig up some plumbing and electrical connections so when I'm able to get an RV connection I will have running water and electricity.

I also have room under the ramps to store misc. parts, generator, ice chests, etc. I thinks its gonna work out well.

The truck towed the trailer great, its nice to have something powerful enough to do the job with no worries. I just need to figure out how to get a little more tongue weight and I should be set. I will probably install a water tankup front to provide water when I'm camping, that should do the trick or at least part of it, otherwise I can always load some of my stuff up front to help out as well.
