Sweet trailer! That should be a killer setup and you can camp in it too with some planning.
I would be scared of pulling that thing with the TB though. I had a trailer start swaying on me once and it scared the shit out of me. It started swaying coming down a hill and into a corner. The only way to stop it is to accelerate, so I did and at the worst point it was pulling the back of the truck 2 feet side to side. Thank god there was a hill on the other side and once I hit that it pulled the trailer back enough to straighten it out.
Never again will I pull with a marginal vehicle. With the tools and car in there it will drastically outweigh the TB. The short wheelbase is the biggest issue. My instance was in a V8 explorer, so same sized vehicle and the whole thing weighed less than your setup.

I am sure he will use his rv to pull the trailer.

Jet, good warning. I saw black marks on the freeway on 35e south of forest lake that were more than likely due to a trailers lack of stability, it's no joke. It looked like it would have been a nasty ride/ accident. The only reason I used the tb was to go pick it up. The rv will be the full time puller!

Will there be a trophy shelf in there, or do we have to build you one at the next cookout?!

Safety first, pink sandals and all! Rockin the sander. She is a trooper, but this lands in the court of home style refinishing where she is a helper. She has no interest in the car domain, but she is 110% supportive of my hobby!

I can't make it to the cookout, and the car and I need to go a lot faster to get trophy's these days!

Thanks! I'm excited to load the car in it and hopefully get that 8 second pass I've been looking for up at PG2!
Little update: I put one more coat of epoxy paint on it and the little flake stuff. Next is the clear and the floor work is done!
