Finally got my trailer setup the way I wanted it. May not be the same as some of you would have set it up, but here is how mine is.

It is a 2011 Quality 18 ft dovetail open trailer,rated at 7k lbs. It has full deck and electric brakes on both axles.On the tongue, I mounted an Owens diamond plate box. It is mounted on a raised platform to clear the handle of the tongue jack when in use. Inside the box is a Superwinch UT3000 winch and enough storage room for my tie downs, trailer ball lock or ball mount depending on if the trailer is hooked up or not and tools,misc,etc. I know I have seen bigger boxes set up, but this does me for right now. Any extras I can throw in the truck bed. The truck is wired with the power connector kit from Superwinch so I can plug in the winch harness under the truck bumper. At the rear of the trailer, I have wired a 4 way trailer plug to hook the car into the lighting of the trailer. The car lights have the trailer 4 way and the car harness will have a vehicle side 4 way. This way I can either plug the car into the trailer or car harness.
