Ok so I canceled my trailer order. I started thinking that my axels are too small at 3500lbs. So I ordered a new trailer I went with 5200 dexter axels and I added 2 foot to the box. So the new dimensions of the trailer are 8.5x26 I added the extra to the box. The box was 10 foot and is now 12 foot and the open part is still 14 foot. To solve the tongue weight problem I ordered airlift loadlifter 5000 for my dodge this should work fine. I should have done the gooseneck option but I think I will be fine if I need to a will get the weight distribution hitch with the anti sway bar. I have the domestic AC with heat strips and overhead control at the house waiting. I also bought the metal roof pant Dicor Elastomeric RV Roof Coating I could not pass this deal up $23.00 the list price was $63.00. I also have an 75amp and 45amp converter that I have had around the house for awhile. I think I'm off to a good start. I'm going to do a detailed pic albums of this build. When I go t pick it up I'm going to weight it before I do anything to it so I can get a rough idea of the weight and what I have to work with.

26 ft wow, I just picked up my 18+3v and my titan knew it was back there. I like the hybrid, didn't see that option when I got mine ordered good luck with the build.
