The 1" units would also weigh less and be cheaper (and weigh less which is VERY important in a camper)

In my civy rig for family camping with the boys and wife.Here's a theoretical for you. You're building a camping trailer, one you can take to rallies and everything you need for your trip and to stay comfortable and fed should fit in this trailer. Doesn't matter what the trailer is, M101, M105, M416, civvy trailer - doesn't matter.
Question is: what would you pack along as the BII (Basic Issue Items) list for your camping trailer?
Please let's keep this serious - no "I want a jacuzzi and a 72" flatscreen in my camping trailer". If that's the case buy a Winnebago. I'm talking about a small single axle trailer that is your expedition/camp trailer, and everything needs to be for that purpose.
An airborne dozer works betterYears ago my GF and I went to the Kerrville Folk Festival and one of the camper trailers had a large garden tiller on the back. They were loaning it out so the tent pitchers could level the ground under their tents!

This is my favorite extended tounge M416 The builder did such a good job it looks factory.

Maddawg,
I think you should start filling up your M105 trailer with this stuff and see how everything all fits in there. then maybe try it out. see what your sustainability is with all that gear. It would be interesting.
Thanks for that pic of the extended tongue. It does look very factory for sure. To keep with the load out thread, I noticed the custom cover over whatever was on the tongue, possibly a cooler, generator or a storage box to keep load out stuff dry and secure.41565chevelle:

I would not recommend MDF as it is very heavy and offers poor structural characteristics. I would use Baltic plywood. It is made up of many layers of hardwood. and is much stronger. Reinforcing the plywood with some hardwood strips would create more strength and might allow you to work wit 1/2 rather than 3/4 material.I've been attempting to set up my deuce for camping here lately. I don't have a trailer yet, so I can't contribute in that fashion. However, my first thought (usually the one you stick with and modify) is to get totes that are as tall as the troop seats. Not sure how many exactly yet. But once I have those, I will take some MDF to lay across the top, and an air mattress. The MDF panels will easily fit across the nose of the truck bed. Like 3 or four sections. That still leaves me the rear half of the deuce to still store larger items if need be. That's about as far as I got. I'm sure something similar could be used on the trailers as well.
