I've been looking around the Internet and classifieds for awhile now... and these babies are going for around 100 to 125 dollars all day long. Is this a normal price? If you guys know of a...

    Thanks Marcus... I'll do that. Makes sense to bring magnetic lights as a plan (B). I'll check into the license plate hanger too. Might want to bring some high temp wheel grease and synthetic brake fluid as well... It sure would be a great thing if the lights worked right off the bat... go right...

    Thanks guys for all the great information... I'm sure glad I joined your forum! I just ordered a M101A3/M116A3 operation and service manual (original 1997)... hoping this will help me in the future. Question: Should I take extra chains for the break-away chains when I retrieve the trailer? I...

    Yeah I think I've got that handled. I bought a hook-up adapter from a company here in Northern California that takes the 12 pin 24 volt plug and reduces it to a 7 pin connector for my truck. I still need to buy the 12 volt bulbs next... probably the 1156 and the 97 bulbs should do the trick. I...

    This was the description that GL gave to this trailer along with it's placard and serial numbers during the auction last Thursday... in fact there were 3 other trailers just like this one being offered with the same descriptions. Does GL make mistakes about trailer descriptions and model...

    Howdy fellas... I've just bought my first trailer... a 1997 M116A2 cargo trailer through GL, now just waiting on the EUC paperwork to show up. My question is where do you find parts for these trailers? I see from the photos of the trailer that it seems to missing the master cylinder cap on the...
