Possible?? Tonneau for M101A2??

[harleyhouse]

I used 3/4" pine cut to sit flat across the tub and as wide as the pockets.
I used the table saw to cut a kerf to let the board sit into the pocket.
They work for now,

No picture? With the tarp installed over the bows I mean...

The cover sits flat on the bows.
The first picture is with the rope tie down, and the last two are with Bungee.
Life is better with Bungee! " pulls tight on the tub.

Awesome trailer

Thanks Harley! looking more closely at these photos I can see the bows. Do they shed the water well?

I am building mine out of pvc with 45 degree elbows.. they have about a 6 inch arch to them.

I contacted your tarp provider! thanks again foe all your help, and of course your amazing trailer build!

I put a Diamond Back cover on my 2010 VSE M101A3, special order for the M101A3. I sent them the measurements and it worked perfect. Not cheap.

Next is the Thule system for the roof top tent and the kayaks. Plenty of room for all my gear and camping equipment.

Very nice ,How much did it cost?

Those diamond back tops are freakin bad to the bone... you can haul two 4 wheelers on top of them and they have butterfly doors. Custom fit to your trailer/truck. They are about 1500 bucks. I didnt want to spend that much but WOW! The cool factor is worth it.

What did you use inside the trailer for the Diamondback latches to catch on?

What did you use inside the trailer for the Diamondback latches to catch on?

2" piece of steel 1/2" wide bent L- shape.

The A3 version has the extra vertical running support beams inside the bed, I had the bed designed so the rods would be 1/4" from the channel and I could rivet the steel "L" for them to lock into.

Worked out great.

The center section of the cover was bolted directly to the bed once aligned.

Thanks, I'm going to use my truck's diamondback cover on my 101A2 when I have my slide in camper on my truck. The L bracket idea sounds good. I'm picking up two 1101 trailers next week so I'[ll also look at adapting the cover to one of them.

Have you put any quads on your diamondback cover yet? Just curious if it will be too high of CG. Im looking at getting either a M101A3 or 1102 for behind my Fullsize Bronco. Still searching these forums and looking at the options. The Diamondback is a must I really like it.

No quads, mounted a Yulara by TJM high so the kayaks would fit under. Going to mount a class 3 hitch on the back for a bike rack too.
