I've been lurking around here for quite some time gathering ideas. I've been wanting to build/convert a small enclosed trailer for light off road / camping/ hauling my motorcycle... I just purchased a 5'W x 8'L x 5'H Cargo Craft Explorer. The previous owner had been converting it for camping, and it has already been wired, by an RV dealer, for 110 shore power with a 30 amp breaker, power inverter, two lights in the ceiling and a roof vent with a thermostat controlled fan.
The trailer has an A frame tongue with a top wind jack. When hooking up the trailer the jack hit the spare tire on my Jeep. I had to put the spare inside the trailer. I would like to add an insert type hitch to this trailer to give it a bit more tongue length and so I would have the option of switching between a standard ball hitch or a multi-axis type hitch. I would also like to run the insert tube the full length of the trailer chassis, tying it into all of the cross members, and terminating it through a C-Channel or tube bumper at the rear, so I could add a recovery insert at the rear if ever needed. Does anybody have any recommendations or tips that they could give me? Thank you.
