Yup, 360 degree military pintle... that way the trailer can fully articulate with respect to my Cruiser, yet on the road I can lock it to no axial rotation for good handling (not that the rotation will cause adverse road handling)

Nope, I shortened it a bit so it is lower than my cage (so the cage gets the trees, not my snorkel)

Definitely a trailer to be proud of!
Is there a fuel tank in there or plans for one?...[/quote]
Fuel will be via jerry cans mounted to either a custom rack/and or mounts on the front of the trailer. I considered adding one under the tub, but that presents safety/longevity issues...
I need to update the pics with the propane and generator mounts added, it is looking good. I got all the info to plumb the propane per spec. last week, just need to drop the $$$ and buy the hoses & fittings!

I guess I haven't seen or are familiar with a pintle that "locks", ones it is locked does it essentially trailer like a ball hitch?

Yes,
I think what he is talking about is the reciever end actually rotates and can be locked. The Lunette would then be a fixed unit on the trailer.

Yup, but my lunette is always fixed on the trailer, the pintle on the receiver can be locked and unlocked, when locked it is fixed, unlocked it can rotate 360*
