I built a trailer out of a 650 frame. I used the triple tree for the toung of the trailer so it would swivel. The rest of the frame to make the hitch. I could travel as fast as I wanted with full lean. Hardly knew it was there, loaded with a 83 1100 E motor and other gear.

One look at those pics, and I thought, "I was right the first time - trailer meth!"
But then I thought, you've got that humongous engine back there, why not put it to work?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

My parents always had Conway trailer tents when I was a kid. The kitchen unit on those has drop down legs & comes away from the back of the trailer on rails so that it can be moved into the main part of the tent for cooking.
Just some pics I found online.
fixed to the trailer with the legs dropped:

When I rebuilt my utility trailer years ago I moved thr axle rearward from where it was originally located. iIrc it was 60/40 with the 60 being the front portion. Be mindful of the tongue weight. Load it to keep it within proper limits.
