	Finally got my new trailer today! I ordered it back on the first week of February. It's a 7 ton 20ft Cam superline power tilt deck. Got it just in time for tractor/engine show season. First show for the Titan is the 25th! It's big enough for the Titan and the Famous or 2 jeeps or 1 55 Chevy.

	That is pretty sharp. Can you mount a winch or something on the front to assist with loading things onto it? And should the IRS decide to audit your list of "business assets" it might be good to come back and delete this thread

	Very cool trailer. We have one at work. I wanted one for my personal use too. The one thing I was having trouble with was loading two Willys Jeeps. Yours may be different than my work trailer though. The tilt action is hydraulic and once the first Willys is driven on, the deck responds to the weight and will automatically move back into the horizontal position. How the heck do I get the second Willys on to the trailer? Yours may be power actuated, so you may be able to hold the tilt until both Willys are on the deck. Tim

	Yes Tim they usually have an air dampener on them. I went with the hydraulic tilt just for that reason. Pretty expensive option but I'll only use this trailer in the summer so it should last many years. No Ryan, that stuff isn't tax deductible. I wish it was!

	If you noticed in the picture with the deck tilted, the tires are off the ground. Makes changing a tire easy!

	I also got my winch mount bolted on and the deck stained.

Nate, I want to pick your brain a little bit on this mount. Is this steel plate welded to the frame or just a cap on top of the wood floor? I have a tilt trailer also, but have been wanting to add a winch to it. It currently does not have a steel plate like this, but I have been thinking of adding one somehow along with the receiver hitch you have pictured. That way, I can have one winch I can swap between trailers as needed and not leave it on permantly. Did you fab the receiver hitch or buy it? Are you going to mount a battery in the front toolbox to power the winch? Details man, details!!

	When I orded it, I got the winch mount, the steel plate on the deck. It is welded right to the framework. The wood doesn't go under it. There is a big 12v battery in tool box along with the power unit for the hydraulics. It also has a 110v trickle charger to charge the battery and I added a solar charger too for it. I made the receiver up. It's the only way to mount a winch so you can remove it easily.
