I bought the tie hooks, square tube steel & expended steel. I had the landing mat already.
The work was a partial trade of a motorhome I sold, so the price is not easy to figure out.
Roughly: Steel $350. Spray paint $60. Labor was three or four days, by someone who had made a similar rack...
Hello All
I have wanted to post pictures of my M109 camper roof rack for a while.
The guy who built it is usually in central New Mexico.
If you want one, I can pass your name & number on to him.
The space near the center is for a roof vent, swamp cooler or air conditioner.

I am thinking about putting an MPAP air conditioner on my M109A3 Monsterhome.
Does anyone have any experience with the MRAP AC units?
It would have to go on the roof.
Thank you

The MRAP tires with run-flat beadlocks (like mine) have a sticky material inside that might catch and hold golf balls
The more I think about it, the more I think I will see if the local tire shops or truck service shops can balance them.
Inside some of the MRAP tires there is a tar-like stuff, mine have it, that the balancing beads stick to and then can not move.
It seems to come with the run flat- bead lock. I think it is there to seal holes, but do not know.

Hello All
I just put MRAP tires on my M109. The vibration at 35 mph is amazing.
I have been told that a half gallon of slime in each front will fix it.
Can anyone explain how slime balances tires? I am happier when I know how things work.
Except for the vibration, tires are great.
Thank...
Is there any interest in a lunch meeting in Placitas for the Central NM group?
Saturday or Sunday. Bringing vehicles encouraged, but not required.
I am thinking of the "Cafe". Interstate 25 exit 242 go East about a mile on North side.
If the weather is good, we can eat outside. (dogs allowed...

Hello All
What part it this?
What does it do?
Should it leak air from both sides?
If It should not leak air, can I fix it with standard o-rings?
Thank you

Summer vacation is only about a month away. I am hoping to do some camping in the M109 Monsterhome.
No definite plans yet, but I will need to take the dogs swimming. We will probably start near the San Gregorio Reservoir in Jemez.

Really, it was not just this weekend.
The school bus mirrors were from the local self service junkyard. I got five, for when I break them. Two of the mirror photos are from the driver's seat.
The vice was a birthday gift from my wife.
The window had broken, the bolts hold it together

hello All
I am in Placitas with an M109A3 camper & a Steyr -Puch Haflinger.
I recently saw an M109A3 in Rio Rancho with a bunch of antennas. - If you read this a good friend on mine is a few blocks away. It would be fun to play on the dunes or in the west mesa.
