    Yes, very much like a 25SE, except with a front murphy bed. I'm feeling a little intimidated by the larger size but I should get used to it quickly. I may need to modify my carport to get it to fit. I think the new one is about a foot taller than the GeoPro, but I only have about 8 inches of clearance above the roof. I need to extend the carport legs a bit.

    My wife was adamant about no Murphy bed and a separate bedroom. Having that couch and the extra space is nice, though.

    The funny thing is when we bought the GeoPro we were against the murphy bed option, but now, we've changed our minds. We really want that seating space.

    That's the same jack on mine. Just barely fouled the tailgate. I stacked about 3/4" of washers between the jack flange and the tongue and that helped a lot but if parked in any dip the tailgate would foul again. There's no reasonable way to rotated the head so I cut off the 3 bolt flange and rewelded it. Problem solved for good.

    This is the same for my with my GeoPro so I certainly expect it to be the same with the MircoLite.

    If you're close the stacking washers and longer 3/8 bolts may work. I was surprised at how easy it was to grind the welds off. They didn't penetrate very well from the factory.

    What did the sidewall say? Probably was a radial tire. I lost 5 in one trip. So pissed….

    These were all bias ply, I’ve since switched over to radial in a higher load rating and higher speed rating. Fingers crossed no more issues. I’m on the highway for 5-8 hours at a time at 70 mph and the bias ply just couldn’t handle that.

    Pulled this 16x8 cargo trailer. It was a heavy bastard for what it is. Pulled it 700 miles no issues. Truck did great as always.

    To be honest... I've only pulled it about 200 miles. We just picked it up in Wednesday.

    Time to start building it out!

    I volunteer at a sled dog race as a troubleshooter and all this was in one weekend. A musher that drove in from out of state had vehicle problems so we loaded his 16’ long dog box off his truck onto a trailer and I drove his dog handler and equipment around for the weekend so he could continue to race. Total trailer weight was estimated at 11,000lbs by the crane operator who loaded it. Then after the race I went and collected 2 light towers and road signs from various checkpoints. Fun times. I beat the snot out of my 2nd gen and it keeps coming back for more.

    Thanks! It's a 2015 Oliver Legacy Elite 2 built in TN. It's 23.5' trailer hitch to rear bumper.

    I had The trailer cranked up on the jack taking all the weight off my truck. I was washing the trailer out and needed help from gravity. It squatted pretty good. I have bilstein 5160 with factory leafs and Toytec shackles on mid setting.

    Yesterday I installed the Jack E Up on my trailer to avoid the Jack gouging my driveway. Took about 10 minutes to install and works great. No more concerns about the Jack digging in.

    I accidentally found it looking for something else. I wish I would have thought about this invention, lol
