I have concluded that the delivery date on the data plates of ALL mil vehicles tends to only be useful when titling and registering. Otherwise they seem to be meaningless.
I picked up a "New" M103A3 trailer from GP a couple weeks ago. The data plate was removed for some reason as was the same for the other two M103s that came up with mine. Darn nice trailer just need to figure out what to do with it or pass it on to someone who needs it.
I pulled a loaded M105A3 with my F150 a few times, but my F150 is rated to pull 7700lbs and the A3 has surge brakes so that is a little different. My Ecoboost didn't care that the trailer was there.
I would get a known good used one and retest the lighting, if it works fine leave in the replacement and all is good. That is how I repaired the lights on an M998.
I have seen a few guys mount MEP016s in the location of the cable reels. They a 3KW and seem to do the job and have a switch inside to select 3 phase or single phase in multiple voltages.
Your idea is good or you could just chain and lock it to a pole or pillar. I have seen lock systems for ball type hitches but not for the lunette(pintle loop) of a military type trailer.
I got pin out specs from IBIS TEK and I have seen the connectors for sale commercially online, cant remember where though. The switches can be standard lighted toggles as they are a control swict and don't carry the current for the lights. Still haven't done anything with my 2 24" bars yet.
