    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    I would love to do two things to the trailer: 1. Paint it Pewter to match my H1, and 2. Dye or paint the canvas black to match my H1. But talk about a lot of expense for zero practical benefit ha ha ha.

    This update is way overdue, but my EUC was approved 3/13. Starting the trek up to the PNW to pick it up!

    I agree, these prices are getting out of control.

    Hahahahahaha, I'm a dumba55. I thought those were a fixed part of the front of the trailer used to stabilize it while driving. I totally misread the manual.

    Hey man, I don't see support legs on mine (if you look at the pictures I attached in my original post). Do you see something I'm missing?

    ****, that guy's trying to turn a quick profit. $1400 mark up LOL! Notice on the trailer with the tan wheels that his stabilizer is coming off (it appears). I hope ours aren't afflicted with the same problem. I also hope ours come with stabilizer legs, that would rule.

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    It's kind of sickening from a tax-payer perspective: 2000 x $8,954.00 = $17,908,000 I don't know if there is a discount for buying in bulk... And of course you need to factor in the selling price of the trailers on GL which let's for argument's sake say is $600 on average: 2000 x ($8,954 -...

    That brightness level, especially at night looks more than adequate. Thanks for posting these! Again good looking trailer--how did it handle the roads with all the snow and ice we just got? I assume it tracked perfectly with the MT tires?

    Got my adapter from roger101a2. It looks pretty well made. Here is a picture of it as I got it, and then after I added some electrical tape to a few places to keep water and snow out. With electrical tape, I covered an exposed screw head, sealed the boot covering the military end of the...

    Great post. I'm going to add that link to the OP. The one I bought was $33 more than that, but has a coiled cable intended to keep the cable cinched up and tidy. Take some pics of your setup hooked up and we'll compare notes to see if this was $33 extra dollars well spent or not ;-)

    Nice, congrats. Is this Worcester, MA? I'm just down the pike in Cambridge if you are. Nice looking trailer: looks like you support legs for it! That's really cool: I could use some of those during the loading phase of my upcoming (bonkers) trip.

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    Minor little panic attack :!:: I'm aware that you can no longer drive "vehicles" out of GL lots and instead they must be hauled out. But, your photo of your trailer on a trailer makes me worried that this is true for trailers too?! I was making an assumption that my trailer would get towed out...

    What did you pay for your M1101/M1102?

    Hey everyone, I'd like to start a poll to see what the market value is for M1101/M1102 trailers. I've only got 10 poll options to work with, so this is going to be a coarse data collection exercise, but still useful. What did you pay for your (model year) M1101/M1102 trailer?

    Thanks for the great info emmado22! For additional reference here are the Grote lights (not 100% sure if the M1101 needs the bucket or not): Grote Industries: Product #82212 - Red, Desert Tan, NEW and here are the Truck-lite ones: Truck-Lite - Catalog Product : Rear LED Composite Lamps

    Chronicle of a tan M1101 trailer purchase from GovLiquidation.com

    Just got some bad news from Silver Eagle: I called them up to talk about what kind of lighting system the trailer has, and what would and would not work if a 12V truck was towing it. Mike from Silver Eagle stated that the 24V tail lights would work, but be dim. But he thinks the LED marker...

    I bid something like $880 or whatever, and the other guy's autobid shot my next bid to $1039.99. Barf. Oh well. I have no idea if GL runs the bids up, that would be pretty unethical if they did. But regarding the last minute bidding, that's what I do--and outlined in my original post. I...

    I recommend the following: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices It's a military to civilian wiring harness--it's my understanding that our 12V civilian vehicles will be able to drive the 24V lights on these trailers. Note: I haven't...
