An impressive set up but why not just drive there in the M3W?

And you have another risk: you may see in your rearview mirror Greta Thunberg riding a pink unicorn shouting at you "How Dare you!"  You just crack me up Javier - keep them coming It's a very impressive roadtrain but I couldn't help but wonder what percentage of the all up weight the M3W was

An impressive set up but why not just drive there in the M3W? It's too long of a trek for me. The tracks I go to are 5-6 hours by highway, and especially at the end of the day when you're exhausted, driving the M3W that long as the sun goes down isn't too appealing for me.

looks like the bed of your truck is a bit on the low side, or maybe it is the angle

If no one minds, as the OP, can I get this back on track, so to speak? lol
Question: E-tracks or L-tracks as such as in this fine rig? The E's are wider, the L's (airline seat-type) more stealth.

I can address the trailer in the 2nd post since its mine. Loaded engine first tongue weight is 450 loaded rear end first the tongue weight is 350. I also have electric brakes on it as well. The trailer is aluminum so my total tow weight is 2800lb on the scale and I have a winch in the front for easy onload.

Do they measure the Vee and then add the tongue or where do they stop measuring since it is not a simple box??? Very nice trailer BTW.

They measure the box length and the V is added bonus where i can tuck in the winch. I had the trailer custom built for the morgan so it has torsion axles and 5k carrying capacity and 3 inch taller roof, all in for 8k$ in the US. I switched to a GLE tow vehicle with a 700lb tongue weight capacity and 7500lb tow rating. I chose single axle because I've towed for years and you don't need a dual axle for 2 to 3k loads. I've used this for many miles with lots of things inside it now including the m3w and never ran into any problems. Sorry for typos, I'm on the phone typing.
I also have the math if Anyone wants to see it and where to calculate CG.
