I have the same fridge.  Do you use an inverter while towing?  If so is it modified or true sine wave and how big?  Also how many batteries give you how long on the fridge.
You use a porta potty or have a holding tank setup?
How is your shower set up and what did you use tub or ?
Got a lot of questions for you hope you don't mind.

I don't mind. The toilet, shower unit came from the pop-up. It has a seperate holding tank and water supply for the toilet. You can just pull it out and dump it (6 gallons) I put in a holding tank for the shower and sink. The fridge is on a 1500 watt  invertor. Be careful you get one that does NOT have ramp up technology.  Since the fridge has a compressor it takes a lot of current to start but not so much to run. I have 2 Gp. 27 deep cycling btys . I don't know how long they will keep the fridge going, but overnight is OK.

Tompen that looks good. How long was the trailer you used? You have a lot crammed into a small space. Looks practical and well put together! I bet it surprises people when they first open the doors for the first time.

It's an 8x20 Classic. Since it is a utility trailer it the box is 20 ft.long. I did this in 2002 and it was something people hadn't seen. Now the toy  haulers are a lot more common than they were then. I have a 29 ft Tahoe Transporter now and the Classic is for sale. It was a lot of fun to see how effecient I could make it with the limited space. Also it is low and light. It tows like a dream.

I figured it had to be at least 20'. Good looking trailer you ought to be able to move it quick with the "upgrades"! Heck post it on here in the selling section. http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?board=44.0

It's already there. I think it will sell in the spring. I get some action from Craigs List.

I can not find one of those beds, any idea where I can find one?  Right now the bed is nothing more than a futom matress on the frame.  The electric bed was my first choice but mo luck finding one.

Get in touch with Hogasm ( PM ). He's in Daytona this week. He built his hauler and installed a electric bed.

I think most of the electric bed lifts are 'happyjack' . http://www.happijac.com/prod-lifts/lift-ov.php
I believe they may be in the $1300.00 range. Now they have them with two beds. Pretty cool.

You can go to virutally any RV dealership that sells toyhaulers and they can get you the electric beds for your trailer...I pull a 36ft Raptor Toyhauler 5th wheels.  It's our home away from home.

Why not use a swivel trailer behind your 5th wheel camper ?  IMO.

Too much money hanging back there on one wheel..

[tompen]

Just a suggestion.... Look at Craigs List for your area or shop around and you might find a camper with some damage or just an older one with good appliances, 12v convertor, propane setup, cabnets, cushions, stove, water pump, holding tanks, bathroom and shower stuff, awning, A/C, furnace, etc You can buy a whole camper for the price of an awning. I looked at the Catskills area on Craigs List and found a couple of possibilities.
Anyway, have fun with it.

I thought about this direction, but over the past year I had purchased most of the items for the build.  So I had everything except the toilet.

This is as far as I got today.

Lookin good....

Why did you not get a smaller trailer for just the bike and haul it behind your 5th wheeler, you see people do this all the time I have a toy hauler by KZ I have the Harley in the back and bring the 4 wheeler in the utility trailer that’s behind the 5th wheeler? You can even get one of the hydraulic lifts or electric lifts that fit on the back bumper. Why put your self thru all that trouble. But if you fiell the need go for it.
