Had my fair share of M1101/2 s and A1/2s and hv never had this issue.
I noticed on pickup that the 1102 seemed to bounce at speeds btw 40-60

just bought a tan M1101 and was wondering what are going to be the differences in rigging up the bulbs and lights as compared to the usual trailers I deal w/ such as the M101A1 and the M101A2. I usually tie in a 4 pin at the junction box on the trailer tongue brace but it doesn't look like...
went out this afternoon to rewire a A2 that I have. All the harnesses were cut up so I pulled all the wiring out just leaving the two tail lamps and their wiring. Changed the bulbs like I have many others and bought a brand new 4 pin system...pretty much replacing all the wiring except the tail...
anybody ever use something different than the ropes to tie down your cover??
I mean the ropes work but I would love to find something that really straps the cover down and is easier to take on and off
Any ideas?
I seem to not be able to find really short bunjees cord round here

I am selling two of my M101's that i bought from GL last month
I live in Ky and the lady at the DMV told me that I dont have to have a title for that size trailer nor do I have to register it.
Only if the trailer is to be used for commercial uses does it need to be registered.
She said to...
after some intense reading of the tech manual I set out to fix my surge brake ..in particular the shock needs to be replaced.
Does the adjustable jack and safety chains need to be removed to get to the shock????
The manual seems to take apart everything on the tongue
It almost seems as if...

Im getting ready to fix up the lights on my trailer.

I just bought a M101 a couple weeks ago and now I am thinking about getting a M105 since for some reason in my area they tend to auction cheaper than the M101.
