Here’s our new to us trailer. Doesn’t look like much but can’t argue with free. Waiting on some roofing material that will hopefully be here tomorrow, replaced the original tires from 2002, need to redo wheel bearings, and transfer everything over from the camper (in profile at bottom. Will update when I get a chance), and button and tune a few things up. I’m sure we will find some more things that need work, but our first trip with it is scheduled in about four weeks!.
I’m excited to move to a larger space from our truck camper. Wife, a seven month old, and three dogs all on the cabover bed was getting to be too much.

Nice! Looks like your truck with it's capabilities won't even have to breath hard to tow that.

Thanks!
And 10-4. That was the idea. This will be great for now but I never wanted to not have enough truck, short of buying a dually (at the time I didn’t like them, and I own one already). Wanted to be able to get anything reasonable and be able to haul it wether it be this for now, or a fifth wheel in the future. Also can handle a lot of pin weight.
And yeah you know it’s back there, but I’m still dealing with a proper hitch setup. I still believe that weight distribution is necessary. But for that 50 mile tow home there were no problems other than my adjustable hitch being one or two notches too low. Have yet to take the whole thing to a flat parking lot to take measurements.

So years after buying our tow vehicle, we finally put it to use towing an RV (Grey Wolf 26DJSE). Unfortunately it was a rental but you gotta start somewhere. It was a good experience but not without some hiccups. I didn't realize how much work was involved but I'm sure it gets easier with experience.
Overall it was a good time and we look forward to doing it again. We learned a lot on this trip which will be applied to future trips where we'll probably learn even more.
