Well with a family of 5 and a Lance 830 it became clear that to make the truck camper work I need a support trailer. I just picked up a Carry-on 5x8 utility trailer with wood floor and steel sides. T...

I have two support trailers....
6x12 Wells Cargo Road Force
8.5x20 Haulmark
I use them for different type of trips.
When I head to the Plain, Washington Overland Rally this summer I will take the big trailer.
I usually use the small one most trips, but that may change this summer.
Last year, about 3 weeks after the post above, I sold my 6x12. I was using it a lot for transporting goods to various shows I attend. It was becoming too small for that chore. I had planned on upgrading to a 7x14 down the road, but 1 year later, that still hasn't happened.
When I sold the 6x12, I had already made the plan to start using the big trailer for my motorcycle adventure trips. I did that June of last year, and loved it. It was nice to keep the bike in the trailer overnight, and have a place to work on it out of the dirt.
A few weeks ago I stumbled across my 6x12 on Craigslist and was very temped to buy it back. The seller was the person I sold it to and was asking more for it than he paid me for it. When I contacted him, he tried to claim that he had spent a bunch of extra money upgrading the lighting to LED. I was the one that did all that.
About 2 months ago I parked my 8.5x20 in my shop so i could do some upgrades to it. I finally got started on that about 2 weeks ago.
I am insulating the ceiling and installing a plethora of new interior lighting. The lighting upgrades are two-fold: bright lights when I use it as a motorcycle garage or product display showroom, and more subdued lighting to make it a man-cave on longer trips.
A comfy recliner would be nice, along with a big screen TV to watch movies.
