Saw two other Neons for sale on here recently and this inspired me to reduce the price and try again. It has just been sitting parked and not being used. Please see below for the information. If you have any questions or reasonable offers please let me know

Installed Laveo Dry Flush toilet with mounting flange
Replaced integral lights with LED lights
Added Carbon Monoxide Detector
2” Gel Memory Foam Topper

I would like to ask more for this trailer as it took a lot of work to get it to where it is, however I understand that it is hard to account for labor. My family purchased this after our first child from a coworker that made some of the modifications such as lift, fenders, storage boxes, step, tongue, and heater. Since we have had another child and would like a large trailer, that will hopefully last as they get older. Previously my wife and I built and off-road teardrop that took a year to build and it was great, unfortunately we had trouble getting our son to sleep in the bunk bed we made in it. So we are hoping to purchase a trailer that will last us awhile for the future. Unfortunately/fortunately it is in my nature to modify anything that I don’t like, so I will probably continue my path of destruction. But please let us know of any reasonable offer or any question you may have. We are definitely willing to let you know what we have done or what may be not up to par with the trailer.

May be willing to throw in the ARB 35L cooler and a Trasharoo.

Thanks.

Nice popup! Do you have an idea of the dry weight after the modifications? Does the trailer have brakes? How does it pull behind that Cherokee? Curious because I have an XJ that I am looking to use this with. Thanks for your reply.

The trailer does have brakes. I also installed break away switch for the brakes. It pulls very well behind the Cherokee, not quite to the point that I don't notice it, but close. No problem up hills or maintaining highway speeds, minimal impact to mpg. The original trailer supposedly weighed 1500 lbs., my guess is that it is closer to 2000 lbs but probably not over. If you are concerned I could try to take it to a truck scale to find out, but I won't be able to do that until Friday. FYI this uses a 7-pin trailer connector and is setup to charge the battery from the tow vehicle.
