Here we go ...

Distance from rear of tire to front of camper itself?

Length of tongue?

Weight?

Trailer lights work? Gotta flat-4 plug?

Mite work with your trailer axle at the very end of my trailer's deck and just let the rest hang off. Plug your trailer lights into the flat-4 plug on my truck using a long pigtail ... right next to the plug my trailer's plugged into.

Kowboy,
You gotta get pics of Clutchee's camper loaded. If I follow what you have in mind... you plan to tool on down the road using Clutchee's trailer lights hanging off the back of your trailer. You have taken white trash to a whole new level.
Carry On!
Happy Trails! N

I have done something to that effect.

Brought my 40 from New Braunfels to Brownsville.

I had a ground problem w/ the trailer from U-haul and burned my fuse, of coarse this was at night. I did not have any tail light or stop lights.

What I did was to turn the lights on the 40 in order to have some sort of tail light at the end.

I made it just fine. problem was that I had to have my head light on too since the light on the 40 were connected that way... that was no problem I just unhooked the head lights and move on.

At this point, I think I'll be lucky to get my own shit home.

Projects always take more than expected ... more effort, more money, more time.

Some damn-fine Folks been helpin' me do a butt-load of weldin' on the ol' trailer. Lotta cypherin', lotta steel.

She's now got a 12,500 lb leaf-spring suspension.

Wicked-ass cool HEAVY-DUTY gratin' in the center section.

All braces/supports in place to add the 2" x 8" rough-cut oak planks on the four corners with "fenders" over the tires.
