Thanks. If you want some rubber rope do not buy any as I bought 150 feet of the stuff. You can have some when you come out. Also thanks for the spare tire pickup. I am not 100% sure where I will mount the tire. Both locations you have mentioned are in consideration at this time. I still...

Like you I have heard from many self appointed experts both ways on the requirement for lighting on all types of trailers. I am in no way an expert on that subject. But if I read the article below and then look at the pictures at the end of the document I see many types of trailers shown...

Loose LEO if you do a ePay search for "rubber rope hook" you will find a bunch on there. Also do a search for 'rubber rope" to find rubber rope. i used the 7/16 inch stuff.

Finally got around to connecting a battery to the trailer cable. The clearance LEDs are very bright. The lights are lit with 12 volts on them. I dd check the lighting also using 24 volts. Almost no difference in brilliance. As you know taking pictures up close with lights does not make for...

Gimp the three lights clear no problem. I did put a piece of 1 1/2 inch angle iron behind the three lights to keep crap from falling on them from above when the tailgate is down. The mudflaps were made from two old deuce metal and rubber flaps/braces. I had to attach them to a 1 1/2 inch piece...

I have finished my upgrade on my M101A3 to meet current DOT lighting specs. I see that the replacement for the M101 series the M1101 and M1102 meet the specs. All the lights are 12/24 volt units including the GI LED tail lights. The brackets I fabricated. This trailer can be pulled by your...

We do have some no rust stuff PB but we also have the white stuff 5 months of the year or so. You do remember that stuff? Rigth? Your favorite stuff Huh?

And 4 M215 parts trucks down by the SD and WY border.

Your camper now has a fridge and heat.

Here are the measurements you wanted. The measurement from the top of the window to the ceiling was made 4 inches out from the wall. The top is curved so it is hard to get a measurement that is correct all the way across the top. The difference between the measurements I have given and the 90...

Yes I fabricated the mounting brackets. And have fabricated more to allow mounting lights on the front and rear of the top of the fenders to meet the DOT spec.. When I receive more lights I will mount them. The mounting stuff was made by taking some 1.5 x 1.5 14 ga square tube I had left over...

I just went thru the large trailer cover problem with my M101A3. It came with a cover that also was to long from top to bottom. The cover is fairly new. I have the newer fiberglass and metal side racks and bows. I got some 1.5 x 1.5 14 ga square tube and extended the bows up 5 inches. Now to...

I have a few trailers but here is my last acquisition. A M101A3. I am getting it ready to use behind my Dodge Cummins or my MVs. So it needs 12/24 volt LEDS etc. Also making some other mods to make the unit more usable on public roads, like DOT spec lighting etc.. Just did some more reading...

Just remembered. The inner front windshield in the REO's are 30 inches wide. And the GMC's windshields are 36 inches wide. That makes the GMC one foot wider in the cab than the REO. So you should have one more foot for use as a door to the back of the box. That should make a nice little...

I will get the measurements in the morning. Also will get the measurements for the under counter (dorm) fridge too.

I thought about making a small door/opening between the cab and the box. I have spring ride seats in my truck so I would have a little bit of room to do it. And then putting a boot between the cab and box. Seeing how you have kids they could move around more if need be. And the mother bear...

Dan I would reverse the location of your sink and fridge. That way you can reach in and get a can of pop out of the fridge without having to get the ladder down every time you want in the fridge. Will you have it in a workable condition when you come out this simmer. We can make a trip to WY if...

Something for you M800 5 ton folks that might want to add a battery shut off switch. If you use the 24v positive side to switch remember that you have a wire that goes to the center of the two batteries as one of the functions on the M800s uses 12 volts. So when you switch the 24v line off the...

I have just finished repainting my M101A3. It is a 2003 VSE rebuild. You are right the paint does seem to flake a lot. The white primer seems to be sort of like a chalk substance. And it also seems like to me that it absorbs moisture. I did my regular sand and feather the flake spots and...

2/0 or larger is the only correct answer.
