Offroad teardrop

I built this little trailer last winter and we had a blast dragging it around last year.. As I reach the ripe old age of 50 I knew I needed a good nights sleep when out adventuring or it just wouldn't be as much fun... I built the trailer in the spring of last year then the box during the winter...

I have to finish it this winter, got busy camping last summer and didn't do anything to it.. Next is a roof rack, propane bottle on the outside and a tire carrier to carry the spare for the jeep and teardrop...
 
Thanks Don, I wish mine hadn't got so big and heavy. I like how small yours is, that was my vision when I started but things got out of hand now it's a big pig...LOL I even cut my bed down because were short and still had trouble keeping it small....
 
I understand perfectly on cost. I had a budget of 5,200. w\o any new accessories as of gear wise. I went over with upgrades like Propex H2000 heating system, solar system, & few other items cost a little more than I originally planned. Not counting the quite few unforeseen surprises that made me back up & loose time & cost more in money.
Took my trailer to my insurance company a few weeks ago, they inspected it, I gave them a actual recorded build cost list of everything I put into the manufacturing it & itemized list & cost of the contents in side of the trailer. What I came up with & what they insured it for, $10,500.00, over my budget.
 
You have great skills, pal. The trailer looks awesome. Wonder how much that trailer weighs. By the way, may I know what hitch you used for that? I'm eyeing at Swaypro by Blue Ox towing but I'm also open for other suggestions.
