I’ve been fiddling with my trailer for a couple of years . Its basically ready. Painted. Grit on the ramp for traction. All tiedowns and straps ready. Theres a 12 watt solar panel, a metal cabinet that holds an agm house battery, alarm brain with all doors wired and a motion sensor with a remote notification device, a separate battery wired led interior light, vent with fan. The 2 kyaks are strapped to the wall on hangers. Theres mounts for 2 bycycles in the front, a third would be easy to add. Motorcycle in the center. Its been a slow deliberate project. Now I just need the time to take it out ?
Here's two quick exterior pics. I've added a battery to the tongue and an electric jack since these were taken. 
Here's my home made trailer. Holds two ATV's well. Contemplating stretching it a bit to fit three...
Here is the underside shot at dawn of my home build from scrap trailer.
Old boat trailer axle with new hubs and bearings, Dodge 1/2 ton truck front leaf springs, Ford F150 front Coils, tongue and tail-light panel are a scrapped commercial kids jungle-gym main beam. Deck is a former C-130 loading platform that has built in tie-downs. I "z-ed" the tongue to match the deck-over height and still match my hitch. Top of flat bed seems high, but is the same height as my F350 bed...
Makes a nice table when unloaded and disconnected from the truck.
Trailer is 7' wide and 9' long on the bed.
Rides well and handles two bikes well. I may have to beef the springs or insert air-bags in the coils to keep it from bottoming if I add a third bike... We have three bikes, but only take two if camping. If we are just going riding the camper comes out, and the third bike rides in the bed of the truck.
I like to scrounge and re-cycle stuff, so even the rims and tires were left-overs from a junked jeep. The only new items that i purchased was two pieces of 2x2 angle iron, the coupler, jack and tail-lights. And a kit of bed-liner roll-on non-skid.

Here's the interior of my just completed 6x10 V-nose with A/C, 12v power, sofa/bed, TV and shelving. I will be trying it out soon and seeing if more mods are necessary.

Here is what my trailer looked like to start:
This is what I am thinking about:
I am not going to get into to much detail because this is a trailer not a TC. Thanks again to PHOTOMIKE for his links. It gives me something to look at. I will probable end up with something like Jefe 4X4's Bradley.
Thanks for looking
