:o You almost need a manual for the features put into that beast!  ;D   

Does it have a name?

No it doesn't yet.  Good point!

I'd like to get some large white vinyl name stickers made to put on the lower frame rail in front of the fenders.
Anyone have any name suggestions for this beast?

the INSAYN TRAIN!

It's a pretty cool trailer. I think I'll pass a link on to a custom small trailer building group, if that's OK with everybody. I am planning to convert a cargo trailer to a camping trailer, and I found a good online group for builders of teardrop and other small trailer builders.

Insayn...any idea what the trailer weighs loaded? That thing is awesome. I was planning on making a kayak hauler out of Bosch aluminum to keep it light that I could pull with my station wagon but now I want a a pop up tent too

In those pics provided earlier, I was taking off for a 2+ week trip into the SE corner of Oregon this past August.  Had 31 gallons of water, full 7 gallons of LP, large milk crate full of canned goods, spare oil, and antifreeze, oh.....and lots of tools.  No kayaks on the trailer on this trip, but the unit weighted 1850ish pounds and pulled like a dream.

Lemme know what you want and sizing, and I'll send it to ya.  I'm sitting 10 feet from a vinyl plotter, white is ready to go.

~edit~
or, if you have another source of graphic (or get one), lemme know, and I'll just cut it for ya.

Thanks for all the props guys, I really appreciate it.  Fabricating is one of the joys in life that I treasure, and this trailer was loaded with both items of necessity and some art work thrown in.  Much of it was to test my various metal working skills that I have tinkered with over the years.

Anyone notice the feet on the stabilizer jacks, totally done with art as the motive? 

The fenders were also custom made to test my tube bending skills.   

The tongue even has a few tricks.  I can move it out 1 foot further and lock it in place to make the tongue longer to keep trailered kayaks from kissing trucked kayaks.  It is also completely removable, rendering the trailer unable to readily hook up to and steal. 

Here's a funny..
My mom wanted to sleep in it when she came to visit us back in the spring.  I built it to fit in the garage in the popped up state, so she was safely camping in the garage.  Some time around 6am, my big air compressor kicked on (about 6 feet from her) and scared the bejeezes out of her.  She said she slept great up until that point.   ;D

Unfortunately for everyone there won't be any production trailers built like it unless someone else builds it.
Gotta stay unique out there, right?  ;)

Yak Monkey, thanks bro I just need a cool name for it in a cool font.

I noticed the feet and thought they were awesome!  Way to add a little artistic flair to it.
