Thanks Sam...............
Here in the next few months I am going to lower it 3 1/2" then build some strage boxes onto the sides. I also want to add a waste holding tank & a fresh water tank for extended dry camping stays.
Sweet setup :awesomework: , just keep an eye on the welds, I have a top notch trailer that is a year old and a lot of my welds have come loose, close to zero penetration on some of them, so I've had to go over it and re-weld seams.

I've got a 14' TNT tag-a-long that I have been hauling my Jeep on now for 18 months. I have had zero issues other than I need to repaint some spots and I need to replace the lights on the rear of the trailer.

I would have never thought my 8' camper would be to small for just me and Karrlie. This new one has a better dinnette setup for me and my leg. The slide adds so much room. And it has a dry shower so I can go to the bathroom or take a shower now with out having to STRETCH for 30 minutes before.

Very cool setup. Maybe I missed something, but why go this route over just putting the camper on the truck and towing the 18' car trailer?

unhook the gooseneck and you got a empty truck bed..plus a gooseneck hauls better..

I would think the gooseneck trailer tows the weight easier. Also allows you to quickly unhook the trailer & drive the tow rig to town...with the camper on the tow rig, you are stuck unhooking the car trailer & then unloading the camper.
A buddy has a similar setup, but his trailer has a 34'ish ft deck...last Memorial he was able to stuff his 8ft camper on the nose & load 2 Toyotas on the rear. Nice, but way too frickin long for me :redneck: One of these days, I want to see if 3 rigs will fit & make a run down to Moab...splitting diesel 3 ways would be nice :awesomework:
here is his set up

Just keep an eye on it, I haul an 11,500 Excavator everyday on my 14K TNT.Mine will be for sale pretty soon. :hi:

As everyone else has said, tows better, pull into camp and just unhook, short bed truck and long bed camper, didn't want a new truck. Just towing a 18' tag-a-long isn't the same. I can turn real short with a gooseneck can't with a tag-a-long
Yep :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
