I smell what you are stepping in!
I had the same problem and used these on the m1101 for 6x5.5 to 5 x 150: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009N3JTQQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
Many thousands of miles but of course opinions differ on adaptors. These are very well made in this conversion fitment and I don't feel they are much of a compromise considering the spares benefits

Solar Mount
Finally got the solar panel mounted to the roof rack. Used some 1 1/4" ID square tube and some 1" OD square tube to make the cross bars to fit over the existing bars. The new bars are adjustable to slide left or right. They will only be supporting the panel. Drilled holes in the panel side and the square tube and used hitch pins to keep everything together. I also made an arm to hold the panel at 45 degrees when needed.

Outfitting for Adv
Excellent idea, and they appear to work well. Just don't forget to turn them off when you get inside.

Kitchen Slide
When I bought the trailer I had a shelf on a slide in the rear kitchen area. I had removed the shelf and was going to make a drawer system, but did not want to get into that so I had another idea. The slides it came with were 16" slides and would not have enough to come out that far. I already had a set of 18" slides so I used those and a larger piece of birch wood for the shelf. It holds my camp kitchen well with enough room to open it up when the slide is out.

Outside Lights
I found some lights for the outside of the trailer to mount by the doors. These lights are solar powered and are always on, but very dim until motion detected. I did not think they would be so bright, but they work pretty well for the price. These lights have a double sided tape or hardware to screw to a wall.

Dim mode.
Full light. The motion detect is very good as far as range

Shelf
Had an extra piece of birch that was used as a slide out in the rear, but since I removed it I need to find somewhere else for it. I used a set of folding shelf slides and mounted it to the front interior of the trailer. worked out pretty well. Hinges lock in the up position and are spring loaded so in the down position it does not swing out.
