Just started thinking about trailers.
I wonder if the style with double doors on the back is more functional than the lift-up canopy on the teardrop trailers. I particularly like the drop-down table on the right door.
Is that a swing-out bbq grill on the left door? It'd be great to see more pictures of this trailer!

I originally bought it on a whim because the price was right. But after doing the upgrades, I'm glad I did, it's worked out great and when not in use, you can leave all your gear stored in it. We've pulled this all over Oregon and the majority of places that we go the trailer works great and has been into some fairly rough places. After driving, fishing or hunting all day, that queen size memory foam mattress is a lot nicer than all those years of sleeping in the ground. The total investment to date doing the work myself is under $6000, not under by much, but under.
Here's some pics of the galley, these mods were done when I first got the trailer a couple years ago. i did update the stove mount recently. The stove on the right door is held in place on the bracket with some leftover over dzus body panel fasteners from the desert car. Unlock them, lift the stove off and the bracket can be moved from the upper storage position down for cooking. The bracket is made from commercial shelving brackets and the arms have threaded knobs to lock them into place.
Travel position to clear counter:
Down for cooking:
The BBQ is a small stainless boat style, but big enough to do a couple nice steaks or 4 burgers. It attaches to an arm I built that swings out and locks in place in and out with a detent pin. I made a clamp bracket with a couple brass knobs and a hook to hang utensils. There's a splitter on the propane tank and hoses run to both the stove and BBQ. Next project on the trailer is to plumb the propane from the bottle in front to the back so that I don't have to take it out of the bracket.
The BBQ fits under the counter when traveling or not being used. When I installed the sink, I added a 12V switched pump that also has a pressure shut off. For water storage I used three 1.3 gallon water bricks. The pickup can be switched from container to container or if needed a single container can be pulled out and a lid with a spigot screwed on or be filled with water when empty.
