    Been about a month since my last update, but we got a few things done. Finally got my registration and license plate. That in and of itself took 3 weeks. Being that I bought it out of state, never titled since it was NOS, etc... It took a little while. O well, that is done, so on with it. I...

    M1101 Camping build

    I agree to a point. Backing up, and up a hill is a pain. And, there are certain downhill obsticals that require to, or are better to manually control a bit of drag in the brakes as you slowly decend. I've been on many wheeling outings with offroad trailers, and electric brakes shine in certain...

    M1101 Camping build

    These are the wheels and tires I plan to use. Same as on my truck. They are factory Ram Power Wagon wheels. This way I can have one spare on my truck and a spare on the trailer, and if needed, I have two spares when we are nowhere near civilization. Which is the purpose of this build. Completely...

    M1101 Camping build

    Thank you sir! I plan on eventually moving over to electric if I can find something that allows for the hand brake and electric control while keeping the same bolt pattern. I would like it so I have lockup controls when going over obstacles when manual control is desired. And the integrated...

    M1101 Camping build

    Haha... Awesome! Well me too. I joined here so I can figure out the maintenance side of the trailer, and get that all sorted before moving on. There is a TON of good info on here. I will make a thread on EP as well.

    M1101 Camping build

    Thanks! I am excited about it. Should be a really neat build. I need to check the hubs and do basic brake maintenance, but otherwise it is a very clean NOS trailer. Still trying to figure out how to adjust the hand brakes.

    M1101 Camping build

    First post newb here. I just picked up an M1101 to build out into an offroad camper. I plan on building a roof rack, and then adding a large RTT with annex, along with two 180 degree awnings. Should be a cool build. It will hold all our camping equipment, shower, porta potty, kitchen with...
