I agree with what William posted.
The trailer is nice but it needs to be more contractor friendly and usable.
Move the jack back so you can open the tailgate of the truck without damaging it.
What is the empty weight of that trailer? I would bet at least 2000 to 2500 pounds.
When you do the math, add up everything including pressure washer, full tanks of water, chemicals, fuel, etc.... along with hoses on the reels, tools, etc.... that trailer will be very close to being overloaded if not overloaded, even with the dual 5000 pound axles.
The tongue needs to be further back under the trailer like almost if not touching the fenders for added support as this trailer is a lot heavier than most light-duty trailers.
I wish I had my camera with me the other day, a trailer was stuck in the road. The tongue either rusted away, welds were bad or who knows what happened but the tongue like the nice pretty yellow trailer in this thread came off from under the trailer and there did not appear to be that much weight on the trailer but the wheels were 6 lug so I am guessing 5000 pound axles.
With the axles so far back, a rig in front of the axles and a large tool box there also there is a lot of leverage on that tongue, just saying.
I would make sure that there are dump valves on the tanks so you don't have to haul a lot of water when done with a job.
Other than that, it does look to be setup good, I like the hose reels up out of the way.
