What did you do to your trailer today.

[lfhoward]

worked on making the fiberglass box fit properly. Picked it up on Craigslist cheap, had to modify a couple of the stiffeners in the bed, and moved the tail lights up. Now to work on the inside and build some kind of steps for getting in and out. Ideas for that? Thanks

Nice camper! I use a short step ladder that I can fold up and store under the bed. You can just see it in this pic:

Here is the model of ladder I have:

Nice looking work.

Lots of options for retractable steps out there, here's a link to one style out there:

The retaining wall along my driveway wasn't retaining itself anymore, so I used my trailer to haul home a half yard of gravel, then 2000# of block, then another half yard of gravel. I could feel that 2K pounds behind me, made the Hemi work for a change.

That's nice looking work!

Got a pic of just one of the block lying around still?

Like how do those blocks interlock, some kind of slot-and-key?

Nice job. I love the 1101. Some people like the 101 better, but I think they each have their place.

Need help!! Just bought a Canadian M101 trailer (1/4 ton trailer).

I am missing one of the outer spindle washers that goes between the outer bearing and the castle nut.

Any idea of the size I need?

Thanks

I don't know but somebody here is likely to chime in soon enough with help.

And looks like your first post, so for record, welcome around the corner to you from right here in the grand old Commonwealth of Virginia.

Nice trailer by the way, what are your plans?

Probably other useful TMs in the forum's TM section.

Kflash....."Any idea of the size I need?"

Why not just take the cap off and measure the diameter of the shaft. Since you know it's missing, you must have access. Most hardwares have thin machine washers.

M1101 camper finally done
Here is my m1101 camper took it out for its first trip to northern maine trout fishing and everything went to plan and even caught lots of trout

 

[tobyS]

Nice job. They really are a useful trailer. Sounds like your having fun with the fishing.

Check out the tongue. "In progress" is when I discovered the 3" was not thick enough and I needed shims.

EVERY catch is a whale on lightweight tackle!

I pressure washed the M1101 this afternoon, and got very wet doing so.

The Pacific Northwet has been doing its thing, and the trailer had a layer of brown mold. All the tie-down pockets were full if dirt, so much so you could barely pull the rings up.

I managed to blow all the GovPlanet decals and residue off as well, most of it anyway.

Today I pulled my MKT about 60 miles on some back country 2 lane. I spent the last week feeding 30ish Sea Cadets and their leaders at a Project Appleseed bootcamp. The surface of the sun would have been a reprieve from the heat but the vent fan really helped. The trailer did great, the griddle was used every meal and worked great. It was great to be able to cook 20 pounds of pasta and not even use half the pot. It did just what I needed it to.
I just picked it up a couple of weeks ago this was it's first time out. I converted the brakes to electric over hydraulic and it worked great. I pulled it with my Dodge ram no problem. I did flip the pintle

Lol. This is the only one I took, I was the event photographer too. I should have had someone take pics of when people were getting their food.
I'll get some more once I open it up again.
