Well after lurking about trying to decide what route I'm going to go I decided on an Army trailer conversion. I have camped all my life and enjoy all aspects whether it be from ground tent camping from a car to backpacking over a period of days. I began after joining Boy Scouts and continue to this day. I've decided on an expedition type trailer after anguishing over the long set up/break times as well as the initial load up. I do enjoy ground tent camping, especially the cold winter climates where you have a wood stove inside the tent while it snows outside. But I live in south Texas, so most Winters are bearable in unheated tents. After all the design considerations and layouts, I've decided on the Drifta(Australia) layout for the M101A1. I intend to use a drawer system in a covered bed with a RTT & awning overhead. There are several great conversions of the M101A1/2 on this site and I will incorporate those ideas where I can. Here is the trailer as a start..Any advice you may have please chime in..View attachment 421721View attachment 421722
