Appreciate the help so far fellas. I plan on getting it ASAP. Would have schedule by now but I'm a mushroom hunter and morels are popping all over the state! Time has been spent either at work or camping and mushrooming :D

Im up in Richland County about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland. That is my plan but also what I haven't gotten yet. Tractor Supply has the plate and I was also looking at the ball/pintel combo. Is there a certain size to get so there is less gap and play with the lunette? Thanks

I'll definitely have to keep that in mind. One thing I'm wondering is about getting the trailer registered. In Ohio I don't need a title for under 4000lbs and just need to take a weight slip or MCO/MSO to the DMV to get it registered. Do the data plates on the trailer fulfill this...

My Colorado is rated to 7000lbs it is a 3.6l v6. I was originally planning a overland trailer with a roof top tent (and originally a m416) but the idea of an enclosed semi-climate controlled space sounds great. Plus all the awesome inspirations one can get for cramming amenities into the space...

Awhile back I posted about my interest in a M416 trailer to gain some handy skills and have a camping/overland project. Well my interest changed to a M101A2 trailer and I pulled the trigger the other day [thumbzup] While I originally wanted a M416 for the size because I mainly camp using a...

While looking at past "Sold" trailers on GovPlanet I saw how there were a lot from Whitehall, OH which is basically Columbus right down the road from me. The DoD has the Defense Supply Center in Columbus so that may have something to do with it. I am definitely keeping my eye on that site...

You presumed correctly my truck is rated for 7000lbs conventional towing. Now how agile and aggressive it would be Im not sure. The M101A2 would be great for the extra space and cargo to have at basecamp. And I even saw a thread on here with a guy and his M101A2 at Moab.

Thanks everyone, first day in and already learning tons. Go Browns! (Sorry if your south of Columbus)

The Porkchop Express? Now I see where a lot of them ended up lol. Definitely came to the right place for advice. I asked the gentleman about seeing the trailer this weekend if it is still around. Would definitely want him to wiggle a bit on the price but who knows. If I'm free it's worth a...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. The one I posted is listed $1000 And only about an hour away so I might take a chance to go see it. Like I said I'm in the dual search mode also for some thing larger for the buddies full-size. He owns a aircraft parts manufacture so has all the toys for...

More great info I actually looked at the Eastern Surplus pages and saw those. Seems like the one I posted is inbetween the lower priced one and the higher priced one. The M416 seems like a perfect fit but will have to sit on my hands for a bit and keep an eye out unless I'm feeling frisky to...

Thanks for the prompt replies. I have looked at the GovPlanet and other liquidation websites. The larger trailers seem like they might strain my midsize overland truck (2019 Colorado with tow package) and not fit as many places. Though I am keeping an eye on them for a buddy who wants a...

So I'm looking for my first real hands-on project. Never was very mechanically inclined or handy. But I would like to learn and change all that. I want to gauge the condition of a M416 trailer I found and see what some people with more experience would rate it as (fair, poor). A lot of my...

Have for a long time wanted a project to tackle and learn along the way. The idea of a travel camper out of a military trailer is one of them. So in the spirit of learning as much as i can (not very handy to begin with) I think this forum is a great resource to learn from.
