Roof Rack Finished up the roof rack. Made from 1/8" thick 1.5" aluminum square tube, 4" aluminum flat bar, and LOTS of 3/16" rivets. Same design as on my HSTRU trailer. I am putting a rooftop tent (RTT), 8' awning, shower awning, and solar panels on it. Went together well and seems pretty darn...

Scott, Thanks! The heaters I purchase from eBay. I find a US seller and look over the pics of what is included. I have ordered from different sellers with good results. Most of them are around the $100 price range. currently working on fabricating a roof rack, adding batteries, and deciding how...

Heaters and light bracket... This project is going to have a roof top tent (RTT) that opens off the back of the trailer and will include a awning room under the tent that will enclose the back of the trailer. Based on that i installed two 5000 btu diesel heaters. One heats the inside of the...

Lowered 2.5" Used the Steel Soldiers "another way to lower an 1102" technique and lowered the trailer 2-1/2". This is the 4th 1102 i have lowered and it went fairly smoothly. This time i was doing an axle swap so i disconnected the brake lines completely. I moved the axle back 1/4" to center...

Tailgate cables... I was dreading messing with these cables. The trailer only had the inside brackets and bolts, no cables so i wasn't sure how this would go. I had to go thru two pairs of cables to find ones that would work. Finally found a pair on eBay that worked. They are for 07-03 Chevy...

Tailgate Hinges are same as 1102 stock tailgate however the opening is more narrow... Hmm, what to do. 1102 tailgate won't fit and i wasn't sure if the height would be a problem. Didn't want to build a gate from scratch so I picked up a surplus new tailgate off of eBay and took a chance on...

Home and pressure washed... twice! Lots of parts removed and surplus prices are a little too pricey for my taste so i picked up a couple of 1102s out of PA. These are home safe as well. Same procedures in recovery no issues on 850 mile return from PA to Missouri.

Recovery pics 15 minutes after i got to the yard put on scrap tongue jack, borrowed hitch and borrowed bearing caps from one of my other trailers. I ordered new bearing caps but didn't put them on. Cheap zip ties from HF used to hold the rolling doors down. Lots of components removed from the...

Here we go again! Found this little guy in Georgia and had a wacky idea to build a big brother version of my HSTRU camping trailer... Looked really beat up but the basics are there including a from the factory spare tire carrier under the bed. I have already done quite a bit of work on it over...
