Well, my EUC came back approved today, so I've called to make an appointment to pick her up. ...except the lady that manages the Barstow office was away from her desk when I called, and she asked me to call back in the am. Not sure if I will be able to pick it up this weekend, or if I'll have...

Yeah, the crank is there in the photos, but from what I hear, it could be months before my EUC gets approved. ...hoping, against hope, it will still be there when I can finally go pick up the trailer! If anyone has a spare for sale, I'd be happy to have a "spare".

Here are a few screen shots of my (very much a work in progress) layout for the trailer. ...I'm really just sketching ideas down in 3D as I go, but the basic concept is room in the middle for 1 or 2 bikes, cabinets on both sides, with propane in its own cabinet on the tongue. The roof rack...

I believe it was $420. ...I feel that's a pretty fair price for the trailer. What do you think?

I've been working in SolidWorks to play around with configurations. It needs to retain an open center to haul dirt bikes, so I'm looking at cabinets at the front and along the sides, with a tail gate that may double as a step. I have ideas, but limited funds, so it may start with nothing more...

I'll post some pics when I'm at a computer, too much a PITA to do from the phone. ...I'll need to source a crank handle here in SoCal before heading out there. I also need to figure out what all to bring with (air, tools, temporary trailer lights, etc.).

Well, it looks line I finally won one. Now it's a matter if getting my EUC taken care of and going to recover it from Barstow. :) Can't wait to get it home and start tinkering. Thanks to everyone who's provided advice and support, and thanks in advance for the dozens of questions I'm sure...

Just a quick update. ...I haven't had as much time to work on this as I'd hope recently, but so far I'm just working on blocking out cabinet space. I'm planning on keeping batteries and propane near the front, in a vented enclosure. As the batteries are so short, relative to the Propane, I...

Wow! ...thanks for the detail, that's exactly what I needed! I really appreciate all the trouble you went through!

Thanks Mike!

Well guys, I tried! Even as I type, I'm sitting in my FJ Cruiser on the BLM road mentioned in the earlier post. ...I couldn't find you guys to save my life. 45 minutes exploring in my truck, and 2 hours in the dirt bike! lol. I'm heading back to the barn, would have been nice to meet some...

Well, ...that was a short lived plan. Turns out my bike hauler has a dead bottle-jack, so I've got no way to haul the bike out. :( Hopefully I can catch up next time!!!

So are people up there right now? ...or will be tomorrow? Was thinking about loading up the dirt bike, and swing by to say hi. :)

Hey guys, I guess I'm doing this backwards, as I've already posted in the "Trailers" section. I'm looking at potentially building a dirt-bike / adventure / camping trailer from an M116A3 (I haven't committed to it yet). I'd love to figure out a way to pick up a Duece (always loved those...

Wow, that is the most beautiful Power Wagon I've ever seen! ...I need a "drool" emoticon for that one!!! If you have a few minutes, any chance you could measure the fenders themselves? Height off the frame (to the top of the fender) Width Length of the sections Distance from the bottom of...

Much appreciated! ...I really liked both of your builds; how has that 2nd trailer been treating you? Have you decided to build it into something specific, or just keeping it as a general purpose platform?

Hah, I need to engage my brain today; I meant M715 ...and if I'd looked at your screen name, I suppose the answer was pretty obvious! Thanks again, I appreciate the help!

Thanks Jeff, that would be great. I'm really look for the basics (which being a newbie to these trailers, I know none of), like: Size & thickness of the frame rail members Frame chassis length & width Bed Length & width (and thickness of the ends, it looks to be about 3", but I'd like to know)...

Hey guys, I'm relatively new here, but have been reading a ton (prior to registering) and am considering a camping / dirt-bike / adventure trailer build based on an M116A3 chassis. I'm building a 3D model to develop a layout, and have some fun ideas for the build, but I can't seem to find any...

Great looking concept, and you're right, your buddy does some fantastic welding!!! [thumbzup] Any chance you'd be willing to "pack and go" the trailer chassis you designed to me? Not the whole box, ladders, etc, just the trailer frame & tongue, etc.. I'm looking to pick up an M116A3 from the...
