I was wondering about the jockey wheel too, since I'm building my trailer very similar. I am putting it on the outside, because on the inside it will interfere with any cargo loaded on the tongue. It is a fold up style, and it can actually be completely removed leaving only a mounting ring on the tongue. For those with them mounted in the middle, is it an A frame style? Does it always hang low when it's fully wound up?

I have never gotten a clear for sure answer ?
so this is from reading another SA forum and trying things out ?
I understand that you can have the isolatoron or off depending on what else you are doing ? using electrical outlets etc..
if you are using a lot of trailer electrical it is best to have it on to prevent to much going to the electrical and not enough to the charge ?
I had it off when I was camping and charging it and it charged up fine as my draw was nothing more than a few lights and a fridge
I am going to wire a A/B switch in between my battery and the built in charging system and my own so I can just switch it when I want to use my xantrex
I have a Honda 2000 generator I use to charge it up on the road every few days
and I had my charger on and my outlets on and isolator off and did not seem to have any issues
bottom line I am not sure
hehehehe and not sure what the isolator really does ? from one guy he said its basically to back isolate things keeping things from going back up your electrical system from something you have plugged in and causing a problem with the charger system ? again this was hearsay and not sure what is going on but want to find out
I have to email conqueror again but never got a answer from them on this one ?
my thought was just to use the built in system when on the trail and not use my xantrex setup when home to keep them up

Dang I thought California was bad. I did spend two hours at my DMV and had to explaine a few things, their big guff was about the year, an 03 being registered in 09. Just got the Pink Slip the other day.
Good Luck!!!!!

Maybe find a different DMV office? Sometimes different counter people can be more helpful than others.

+1 on that. I got three different stories from 3 different people at 2 CA DMV offices. Got lucky on my third visit.

I agree but...
This woman tried, she got all the supervisors involved, then called the state HQs looking for help. After that she wouldn't let me leave, said she wanted to call a different person at the state level, but still no luck. In the end she left me with a number for the state titles office.... I agree, but since the computer would not let her input the VIN, it all stopped, I don't think another user can get around that.

After all the discussions I had read about registering trailers with no paperwork I was totally prepared for a fiasco. My DMV office made it easy as pie. I say try another person or office if possible.

I can get you pictures of a frame being built which looks pretty much the same... if that would help.

I went in to the Virginia DMV to get a title and register my Compact and was told exactly which forms I needed, there were several. They listed them by Customs forms #'s etc..
I called Dean, told him what I needed, he faxed them up, sent a hard copy as well. I went back to the DMV a few days after my original visit and they said, "Looks like you have everything". No problem at all.
I am currently changing the lights and reflectors to make them compliant with US regulations. Also safer on the highway.
My dolly wheel is located centered between the frame rails, right behind the coupler plate not on the outside of the frame. I've seen many trailers with the jack stands out side the frame. It swings up and out of the way. I just remove the whole assembly for travel. That way I won't lose any parts along the way.
Have any of your Conqueror owners found or devised a good locking system to secure the doors of this thing when its unattended. I would hate to lose a fridge.
