One thing you may want to consider however is that in doing so you will have to secure your Jeep in the rear most portion of the trailer. I think that you might find the weight distribution to cause some stability concerns while towing, even with the stabilizing hitch. Also that loading ramp door looks like it may prove a bit too flimsy to handle the weight of your Jeep driving over it.
The work is already done.
Fishished this past weekend.
I put up a partition ahead of where the Jeep needs be to keep the Jeeps weight in the correct spot in the trailer.
There is some added weight up front now with what I've put into it. I purposely put the water tank and batteries way up front to keep the tongue weighted properly. If needed I can always position the Jeep back to tweek the tongue weight.
The weight distribution hitch will help to with keeping the truck level.
The loading door is sturdy and is made to be driven on by vehicles. The PO had the trailer custom built extra tall to carry his buggy and gear.
Wired it up to either run from the inverter & deep cycle batteries (like at RC) or it can plug in while at F&F. I put in a external power inlet and a transfer switch to select either. Also added a slew of lights and outlets in the rear and up front. All GFCI protected of course.
Floor Plan of the front third of the trailer. The work bench folds down to make room for loading the Jeep.
