The man just came up with an idea. Maybe it needs some work on the details
But I think having some form of power to the trailer wheels would be a pretty good thing.
Details, details mere details. Fu the nay sayers.

Instead of a spare wheel bracket, i have already mounted a complete stub axle with bearings to hold the hub and spare, (Falcon rims) so at worst I need a grinder and welder to get going again. Purchasing a 12v welder and air operated grinder is on my to do list.

Far easier to do than you probably think. Use a rear diff though one from a leaf rear patrol of some sort to make mounting under a trailer easier. The drive part is easy. Use an engine driven hyd pump with a nice basic circuit and a cheap little motor mounted to the diff pinion and away you go.

I thought the front hubs would be easier so fuel wasn't being wasted. Just lock 'em in when you do the front ones. Have a control panel on the dash so you don't have to even get out to run it. Lock the tie rod in so the tyres are straight and use leaf springs mounted to the coil spring seats.

I thought I had seen the idea else where, Many, many many moons ago. See, I am not as silly as I look

You're absolutely correct and it was a disaster. Someone else tried it a number of years back as well,remember seeing it on the box.
The trailer ended up bringing them undone in an awful way, wouldn't behave under brakes and at one point actually jackknifed itself in a boggy situation.
If you're seriously considering this @mudnut the footage may still be available for the sake of a google search.
Christ only knows how you would word it though!

Down side is that set up uses a drive through diff on the vehicle but still interesting to look at
