Made new pockets for the bed supports.  Ditched all the lights and reflector taped over the holes. Now it ready for shower install and water tank.

Specs said 940lbs.  I probably removed 150 w/ bumper, tongue, axle and spare.   Some of that weight will be offset by not having to run a cap any more on truck.

How long is your trailer? How much room left behind it?

18' deck plus 3' beaver.  camper is 7' aprrox. wide which includes the stand-ups for the top (which are a pain, some pop-ups are internal support much better for this) My buggy has a 108" wheel base. When loaded I had approx. 6" in front and 12" in rear.

Final part of project quick build a purpose built trailer for cold storage post season. Fill it with dryer sheets, steel wool in the shower drain and put away.
