Do you have a pinout for the military trailer plug? Did you try with the 24 volt bulbs? I think they would work just dimmer.

I don’t have the pin-out for that connector. But I simply used a spare 12v battery on the tongue with a jumper wire to locate the corresponding pins. Grounded the battery to the chassis. The ground pin on the trailer will give a good spark when you touch it with the jumper wite
Yes, the 24v bulbs work, just dimmer.

Here is where the TM NAG jumps in. The wire schematic is in the TM. Even better, it makes no difference what trailer TM you look at. They are all the same.

Here is a wiring diagram from my 1102 trailer, when you are ready to put on a civi plug. Sometimes they actually wire the trailers correctly.
Howdy,
Go back to my post and read the threads.
Anyway, the newer Silver Eagle/Schutt trailer LTT-TQG uses multi-volt LED lights.
More trailer info and such can be found next door. Trailers | SteelSoldiers

Great point! LED’s don’t care about voltage.

Made it home! 640 miles round trip to Sparta, WI. and back. Thanks for all the help. Pulled like a dream. Hubs didn't get hot at all!

Thank you! Now to bid on another and another.
Can't have to many!! You happen to notice the date code on the tires? Mine are from 2009 and look new but worried they might give out...be a slight comparison since you went so far...the guys yard in Chambersburg Pa told me a bunch try to tow home but the tires don't make it...I trailered mine because of that!Thank you! Now to bid on another and another.

I guess those guys on the yard see everything - and all kinds of people too...
For the years I've been picking up stuff there they are always top notch...I know them pretty well and they have always helped me get my stuff loaded up right...the story is from a few buyers from Md tried to pull them home and barely made it to the Mason line...apparently they called customer service and complained about the tires giving out...I bought a different trailer than theirs but from the same lot.

My tires were from 2009 as well but looked brand new as well. No cracking. Not like my 2003 M1123. I did drive 60 the whole way home. Was not going to push it. I think since it was freezing the tires didn't get a chance to heat up to blow!

making sure the tires are inflated properly will go a long ways towards keeping them from failing. Even overinflated is a LOT better than underinflated as the tire will flex less, producing less heat and less stress in the sidewalls
Nice! Good year to have then! I'm only 45 minutes away from the pick up location which is good and bad...I won't stop buying random stuff!!

Govplanet guys are always cool with helping fill up tires and anything they can help with. I was even offered to drive a 8x8 when I picked up my mep.
