+1 on this. Have the same setup on my TPD. Absolutely love it. No more messing with 2x4s etc to load the car with the splitter attached. Just jack up the front of the trailer with the electric jack while still connected and then drive on up.
24 - looks like your trailer is coming along nicely! Looking forward to seeing pics of it completed.
Montoya - looking great!
So one thing that I don't think has been discussed are generators. What is everyone using? I am currently in the market and was thinking of going with a 4K or 5K watt Honda but now I am seriously considering the EU3000IS that Montoya just got. They run at like 50db compared to the 70db that the 4 / 5K watt Hondas that I was looking at. The big question is, is 3K watt enough? After doing some more research, I think so. It looks like it should be fine powering AC but one thing it probably can't handle is an air compressor. But again, some more research leads me to believe that you need a good size, ie 5K watt+, to effectively run a decent air compressor. Thoughts?

As for myself, and just about everyone I know, the genny of choice is the Honda EU3000is.

The 3K watt Honda is what I put in my TPD. AC works great however be aware if using the Dometic Heat Pump it can cause the generator to shutdown as it cycles thru the defrost cycle. It could just be my unit so I'm curious if others had similar issues. I ran the AC with my air compressor without issue. The compressor is mounted on the same tray as the generator.

nice looking trailer montoya.
i am using the snaploc dolly for wheels and it is very durable and rolls around very well. just ordered another with handle and bought the etrack connector. for now this will be my wheel rack - two dollys connected together and strapped to wall via etrack. what do you mean above about the dolly, the beams and d-rings - don't follow you.
I also use the Honda EU3000is but I do not have AC (yet) tho i am told it should be adequate for that.
