Default I'm going to build a work bench for it, add in some more lighting, insulate the roof, put in more

tie downs, paint the floor w/epoxy-type paint (or tile it?), paint the walls, paint the exterior roof white, get a medium-ish generator and roof air for it, "pancake" air compressor, storage cabinets, and a winch.

Trailer already has brakes and load leveler hitch, beaver tail ramp, recessed floor to help load low ground clearance cars, a few ceiling lights and vents, and a few floor tie-downs.

Trailer is big enough to haul a 1998 Chevy Astro inside it with a little room to spare ;-)

For now, when I need it, I borrow a friends 1500 Z71 or my parents motorhome (I keep the trailer at their "farm" as I live in an apartment). With the motorhome, total length is right around 60'. You have to plan well in advance to maneuver it, and make people get out of your way...Sometimes they don't until the last minute. Also gets the attention of tractor trailer drivers, they don't expect you to be driving something that big.

Default My dad has a 2500HD duramax with the allison transmission. Great truck.

Nothing like pulling a trailor with two snowmobiles and gear plus two more sleds on the bed uphill in Montana at over 80 mph. That thing has awsome torque and a massive turbo =)

Default Unfortunately, the Suburban diesel is no longer made from what I can tell, so no nice new DMax and

Allison transmission Bastages.

Default

You can fit a lot in a crew cab though plus you can get a camper shell.
