M105A3 Cargo Hoop Help

[Unforgiven]

Can somebody explain to me what exactly these five brackets on each side are used for? The cargo hoops (5 of them) go into the 5 upright stakes on each side from front to back. Are these brackets used for some kind of reinforcing? They are bolted to the top rail, 5 on each side. I assume they are unbolted & used for .... ? Thanks.

They are for storing the top bows when you need to transport something taller than the bows but still need to take the bows with you.

Edit: they are on the m101 and m105 series trailers.

Thanks. Do the cargo cover bows simply slide into the uprights or do they have to be bolted in? Also, how does the canvas/vinyl attach? Is it simply roped through grommets on the bottom of the canvas to the tie downs around the trailer?

they slide in. Cover is attached via tie down ropes onto the trailer tie down hooks

Mine have straps for the bow at the front and rear that attach to the bows in addition to the rubber bungie cords.

Once the cover is is place, it will withstand 60mph winds and 3 feet of snow as we experienced this past winter.

You wouldn't happen to have any old pics of the cover in place would you?

The trailer that I have the cover on is down at my Mom-n-Dads house, 250 miles away.

I do however have a trailer at my house that I can put the cover on later today.

Its over 100 right now so I'd kinda like it to cool down a little bit before venturing outside again.

Yeah, it's scorching here in Las Vegas as well. I just bought an M105A3. It came complete with bows & cover. When it gets cooler (mid-August) I want to assemble it & take it camping. Until I get around to making a slide-in camper for the Deuce (2-3 yrs) I figured the covered trailer would make a good camping tent. After the camper is done, the M105 will make a good extra-gear trailer.

I was thinking of maybe trying to find a used Polaris RZR (the small one) to toodle around while camping w/ the wife. It JUST fits inside an M105 bed without modifications. The tail lights on the trailer make the tailgate too narrow for any other UTV models w/o modification.

Looking forward to the pics.

Also, make sure that you get/got the trailer jack seen on the right corner of my trailer.

The A3 tailgate is almost as wide as the wheel wells. The wheel wells are close to a foot wider than the A2 version, so don't let the tailgate width fool you, as it's wider than the A2 wheel wells.
