This was posted over on Expedition Portal: thought I would share what others have done to make thier 1101 and 1102 trailers more civilian friendly.The owner of a M1102 trailer cut the bows nd lowered them to Tow vehicle height and then had the local Canvas shop sew the lower edge of the cover...
The Harley family used our trusty M101A2 for yet another Oakmont Christmas Parade.
The theme of the parade this year was A Storybook Christmas.
Our float was The Elf On The Shelf. My youngest stepped in as Elf.
A simple and fast design was used this year a backdrop that dropped into the stake...
Found this trailer on The local ads and thought it was a nice design for a M116A2
The owner kept the trailer as is but added expanded metal sides.
It makes the trailer more useful for hauling things and works great to haul his quad.
I am partial to the color too, It would fit well in my motor...
On the other trailer site I frequent there is a member KLMORE that rebuilt a M101A1 for a camping and hunting
toter. It has turned out great and he has some good ideas to make the trailers more useful.

I found these pictures when I did a M416A1 search on the web
Listed on the G838 website and dated Feb 28 2012 Stacked in a
warehouse in the Netherlands.
I could make alot of people happy with those.
What is the going price on a like new rear stabilizer leg off a M101A2?
With hanger and the spin out foot works smooth.
OD in color with new hardware?
Thanks!
I found these pictures on anouther trailer site and thought they were
interesting. The owner built a camper top on his M416 and matched it to his civilian jeep.
Not a true military version but cool just the same.
And it is removable too.
Manley ORV company in Ohio is starting production of a small military look trailer. They can be ordered in three styles. They look close to the Bantam and M416 trailers.
With the originals getting harder to find in restorable condition This could be the next best thing.
I think they will do...
I found pictures of these two military trailers on a google search.
They appear to be the back half of an early ford delivery van.
Any idea what they were used for and if any others survived?
They would make great camping trailers.
This trailer is the inspiration to my 101A2 build.
I have seen many pictures on the web of it's build now the owner is selling it.
Thought some might be interested in how he converted a 105 into a cool camping trailer. It is listed on ebay this week.
Don't know where to start. Had an idea...

Tell me about this trailer, I saw it for sale a month ago on ebay and now the new owner posted it on Expeditionportal.com It is listed as a helicopter support trailer, looks like a custom box on a 116A2 frame.
Chime in and post what you know.

I thought it was too cool to keep from my fellow SS members.
He bought a "frankenstined" M105 and rebuilt it into a great
Little trailer for behind his toyota FJ.
I think he did a great job.
I will now look at the 105's in a...
Well I guess I have the green disease, I bought my second trailer.
