It is quite a good trailer for camping. We must have put in nearly 20K miles since built camping all over the southwest from California to NM and the national parks in the North Rim area of Grand Canyon. The recent trip was to Chaco Canyon and Taos. The trailer serves without fail through...

Thank you all for your helps. I worked on it last Friday taking the bar off to lubricate. Since the trailer appeared to be of little use from the condition and the tire wear, the sliding bar was dry as a bone. Additionally there was no sign of lubrication ever applied since it was built and...

Coug, Many thanks for the information and the Links to the documents.

I am looking for instruction on how to lubricate the slide bar connecting to the lunette ring which drives the surge brake. I have searched the forum, but could not find the information or instruction. If anyone who also knows the grease type that should be used, please provide the...

Sorry for being late to the party. I have the m1102 trailer built for off road camping and doing quite a bit of traveling with the trailer pulled behind a Toyota Tundra 4x4. On a good day with neutral wind, I get 11 MPG. With a slight head wind, I get about 9-10 MPG. With strong head wind...

BTW, here is the built.

Rich, Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I went and got the wheels balanced this morning and only managed to have the trailer going smooth at 55 MPH. Above that speed it still has the vibrations but not quite as strong as before. I can live with 55 MPH. Any further suggestions from the...

Followed the thread here about balancing the 37“ HMMWV wheels on the M1102 trailer that I got in September 2019. The Centramatic balancers do not work. The trailer and the truck are vibrating like crazy at speed from 50 MPH on up to 70 MPH. The vibration is slightly bearable at 70+ MPH but in...
