This is what you need to start with - Surplus 2010 Fermont MEP-802A 5kW Gen Set in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, United States (GovPlanet Item #1186435)
You could off the generator to offset costs of trailer and needed items to make your Hilton on Wheels.

thought about a military trailer and if I did one of those it would likely be a m1101 and I would hard shell it.
To be honest though I want to keep the weight and footprint down if I can. Coming back from Christmas with the trailer we had little to no impact on fuel economy. I think that is partially because it doesn't stick out from behind the LR3

M1101? Your wife would kill you! Where the heck are ya gonna store that? I told you you should've moved further out into the sticks, you need property and a barn. That's a bit bigger than I had in mind. I tossed up a platform quick but if you don't mind hauling the whole Resort behind ya then who am I? Field Kitchen anyone?

If this "little" trailer gets much bigger I am not sure where I'm going to keep it. My original plan was to store it under the deck in the back yard. Now I don't think that will work as I don't think it will make it between the support beams any longer.
Doing the math I am going to need to add about 8" in width to clear the LR3 rims on the trailer. The bonus I get from the additional width is increased storage in the side boxes.
Waiting to hear back from redneck trailer, luckily they have a shop a couple hours from my house.
Work is going to be a bit slow as I need to do a bunch of work to the LR3 first to get it ready from Romp!
Thinking marine grade plywood for the floor of the trailer though. 3/4" I think will be enough for the loads it will see.
