I am kind of liking my tent trailer. It is some work setting up 1/2 hour max. It has everything but a bathroom and I like that I can stand up in it. One queen bed and one twin bed.

that looks like a sweet rig! lot of ground clearance under the trailer, is that stock or did you lift it?

I know you said no roof top tent. FYI, RTT's will have a solid smooth flat floor on which your mattress lays, sleep great. I have one atop an 800 pound Alumline Trailer. Coul

Everything they build is custom. Their site here calls it a CT 40:

Here are 3 pics of my trailer:

I sent them used wheels to match my truck, and the lest expensive 295/70R 17 Tires I could find. Also I had them install a Lock N Roll coupler instead of a ball. I ended up replacing the cute lil battery (powers the break away safety brakes) with the least expensive full size AGM Deep Discharge battery It holds 55ah and will run my camping freezer/ fridge and phone for a couple of days no sweat.

Naked and no tent the trailer weighs under 800 pounds. The trailer ended up w/ less clearance than I had wanted. To get the hitch height right they used an axle which puts the spindles above the cross member. (These are torflex axles) It still never drags or bumps over even big rocks. I am thinking of ordering another build and selling the trailer w/ tent on it. It would have axles which put the spindles below the cross member, and a maybe an even lighter axle, since fully loaded I am way well under a ton
