    How much difference does new shocks make?

    I’ve got an M101a2 trailer, and I’ve used it a bit so far for family camping. Towing with my 4Runner I have realized it rides pretty rough. I do have all terrain tires on it which probably don’t help. But I guess my question is, if I were to put new shocks in the trailer, how much of an...

    M101a2 wheel bearings question

    I have been procrastinating and never got around to redoing my bearings. We finally took the trailer up for a family camping trip this weekend, about a 3 hour drive from home. We made a couple stops for fuel/ bathroom breaks, and each time I would check the hubs with my hand to see if they were...

    Mounted my spare on my M101a2

    So, probably not the most ideal way to mount a spare, but I have been racking my brain on the best way to mount my spare, without spending a bunch of money or doing a lot of modifications.

    M101a2 wheel- what valve stem?

    Ok stupid question. I picked up a nice old 8 lug 16” Chevy steel wheel for a spare. It didn’t come with a valve stem. Can I just use the cheap rubber TR425 valve stems they sell at Autozone and the like? Or do these wheels require a special valve stem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That just seems really high, but...

    Painted my M101a2

    I bought this trailer several years ago, and really was undecided on what I wanted to do with it. I finally decided to start working on it recently. I replaced/repacked bearings, put new tires on it, sanded and prepped it, then painted the frame and tub with Rustoleum cut with a little...

    disassembling an M101A2

    Hi, Earlier this summer, I got a great deal on govplanet, on an M101a2. Its in pretty decent shape, this winter I want to really just get it taken apart, knock any surface rust off, and then repaint the thing. I am planning on doing a grey or silver, and black frame, to match my silver...

    Just picked up my M101A2

    Hello, another new guy here. I purchased an M101A2 recently from a GovPlanet auction; just drove down to Arkansas this weekend to pick it up. Thanks to the wealth of information on this site, I had everything I needed to get it, and the trip back to Colorado was uneventful. As you can...
