I ran the beginning of this thread last month and called it rebirth of a m100, and found that it was an MB T model so I thought I would finishup at least describing it right.
After the fabricator got through the rust and details he began building brackets for the generator, gas can, propane tanks. I also wanted a pull down rack built for the dual fuel Coleman stove, I still like having that pump generator stove to mess with, it reminds me of many years of camping.
The kitchen I originaly built for my TJ in a build by itself article as "TJ CAMP KITCHEN", you can do a search on google if your interested, it works very well so I decided to use it in my trailer. I also used the kitchen for a year in the TJ and it worked great.
The 12 volt system consists of a Battery Tender 5 amp charger/maintainer mounted in an outside shore box. A group 31 battery with an 800 watt power inverter and voltmeter to keep an eye on everything. I doubt if it will be needed but the generator will be there if.
The propane tanks I have installed for the gas barbeeque and I have a coleman Black cat heater plumbed in for the cold nights.
I I choose to stay with the extreme cooler for keeping everything cool, I usually don't stay out more than a few days anyway so extended cooling is not required. Two reliance seven gallon water cans plumbed with a sprayer and 12 volt pump for water, it saved me a few bucks on a tank and there removable.
The lid lift's up very easy with the tent up so it's easy to get things out if needed and 4'x8' good's will still fit between the tent and the top for other hauling needs if you remove the spare tire.
The camp kitchen stores the dual fuel lantern in the middle slot behind the dutch oven and it keeps the mantles from braking up. There is also a switch panel that turns off the inverter, water pump to the right of the trailer and the voltmeter. The Ham radio has it's own lead direct to the battery where I'm using 2,6,10meters, and 70 cm for communications.
Next week will be the trail voyage so I hope it will be a little warmer out.
