Tear Drop trailer.

I've been looking to upgrade from the tent trailer to one of those.

The "old guys" in the Dessert Rat have built a few of them and using them more for fishing excursions than wheeling.
Bill Lucke, John Hall, and maybe Stucky, seems like one or two others but can't think of them now. If you know one of them, might ask what they like or don't, maybe save some trial and err.

$18,500?!?! I'll stick with my tent for that kinda money!

Ditto that on the Desert Rat trailers. I've seen Bill Luckes and his is covered trailer like what you see contractors use. The inside is whatever your imagination can make of it.

HF modified trailer build(s), kind long.

Here's mine. It isn't done but the idea is that it is completely modular. It is built around the big black/yellow lid containers that you can get at Costco. It is longer than most but same axle width as a stock Jeep. Notice that it has lots of tongue length. As it turns out, that is more important than breakover angle since you end up backing up quite a bit. If you have ever backed a HF trailer, you know what I mean.

There is NO need for 35" tires on a 500lb trailer. The 225s work perfectly and are lighter, cheaper, and last longer. No issues with tracking in the snow, etc.
