This week I finished up the wiring at the rear bumper between the new jack and the new run. Here is the Chaser attached for a test fit:

It still had some extensions in the tongue from an earlier project and sat a little too high. So I removed the extensions, switched out the stinger for a lower one, and shortened the safety chains:

That looks a little better methinks. Just need to air up the trailer's shocks a bit to get it level. And...check out the vanity plates:

Almost ready to go camping! The trailer now holds a good bit of fire wood and most of the gear that was in the Jeep. Next I need to work out some heat for the van.
I had a bracket made today to mount the Propex inside the van...but I kinda want one of those propane heaters for a yacht. The are very efficient and don't use any battery power (which would probably save me from having to add a fourth battery to the van). Maybe I'll but the Propex in this weekend? Not sure yet.
