What did you do to your trailer today.

[computer54]

where did you get the plug setup.

 

[CHIEFSONN]

Take something to put down the middle that will support the tarp. They are flat and hold the rain water.

yes thanks tobyS I'm going to lay a piece of sheet rock with a 2x4 down the middle over the top the sheet rock will start to pitch and give it more of a runoff.

That makes a right tidy little camper.

Listed my S-788 in the parts classified for anyone wanting an enclosure that would make a good camper... trailer or HMMWV mounted.
Daughters wedding takes priority over my camper-trailer project.

Made the final preparations for the trip to the UK.
Picture in daylight will follow when on site.

 

[joshuak]

Loaded a canoe, 2 kayaks, 5 bikes, misc. gear and went camping.



To protect the sides of the trailer and stop the boats from gauging into the corners of the tarp mounting brackets, I used 4" ADS corrugated drainage hose. I removed about an inch along the entire length and then notched as needed.

Well it fit an M105 a2

If you are referring to my S-788 shelter, no, will not fit on a 105 without serious modification or going back to the bare frame (a viable option and you could sell a clean bed).

You bring the 105 up, I'll take the bed in trade and I'll mount the 788 to your frame!

Here is the 1101 that I modified to put it on. The 788 is about the largest shelter that was designed to fit the back of the HMMWV and it is larger than the S-250 (thus more room).

Here is a link to the ad. I'm open to reasonable offers, this is a very nice shelter.

Can I tow it by a 93 Chevy 4 by 4 with a 6.2L and its open on the trailer I have the sides and top and all and I can get pictures to you .

 

[tobyS]

I'm sending a PM so as not to divert the thread. I believe yes.

 

[Bulldogger]

What did I do to my Trailer today (technically, yesterday)?

Took possession!

yes thanks tobyS I'm going to lay a piece of sheet rock with a 2x4 down the middle over the top the sheet rock will start to pitch and give it more of a runoff.

I would suggest 1/4 inch plywood. The drywall will absorb moisture and fail over time making life miserable for you when you have to clean it all up and redo it.

Did some painting on this M-1101. Here are "before" photos



Here are some in process... hand painting credits to my daughter!



And here are some completed photos.

 

[RobM36A2]

As expected,the trailer towed very good for the 460 mile round trip

 

[two.fiveM35]

Used my a2 to haul items to our new house and haul carpet to the dump. After about 300 miles, I think the shock in the brake actuator went out. Now when I stop, the trailer brakes violently

Easy fix.
Croft trailers has the shock in stock.
That shock isn't cheap no matter where you buy it.

Would you post a pic of your hitch setup?

Until fixed, make a block of wood and put it in place, perhaps secure with tape, so it doesn't come on at all. Unless loaded heavy, your truck can stop it without brakes.

On my A2 there was a hole you can put a piece of round bar in, as sort of a blocking when reversing.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yeah, but unless you get a strong piece of steel(tempered?), it will bend and be a pita to get out.
