    Twitchy trailer questions

    Tongue length is something you do for other reasons, like being able to jack-knife into a 90* parking situation or accommodate more stuff on the tongue, but has nothing to do with the ride of the trailer. There have been gazillions of these made for many decades and the tongue length was just...

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    Can you orient the material so that the stripe effect is horizontal? Just looks a bit odd to me. Agree on the color match. An alternative would be to go with a tan or black-based camo for more of a contrast.

    Fiberglass M416/M100 Military-style Trailer Tub Kit

    I think one of the reasons the old designs faded from use was the drivability factor - great when parked, but lousy on the road. If you can come up with something more aerodynamic that's still useful at camp, then it's worth pursuing. Otherwise, as I'm sure you've seen, some pvc pipe and a...

    AND YET AGAIN: Paul and Mike Try to Build a Hard-Sided Do-It-All ADV Trailer

    It's a great design and build. For me, the actuators (perhaps engaged while sitting in the tow vehicle) would be welcome. But, hey, I'm not the client! Great job as usual guys!

    Importance of matching tire size to tow vehicle

    M416 is very balanced, so much so that any extra weight on the back not compensated for on the front will result in serious issues in handling. Most vehicles already have a spare, so that makes for a good spare for the trailer and, in an extreme situation, you have three spares for your tow...

    M416 Lift Kit?

    SOA. No difference in handling at all and, if you do it right, you keep the brake.

    How to wire two switches for one light?

    Every handy man/woman should have a copy of "Wiring Simplified." Published annually to keep up with national codes, you can get by with an older copy as the basics of electricity never change. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/listing/2691743675846 for example is only $1.99

    My M416 - Yes, another one

    Lid looks really interesting! How planning on keeping it water tight?

    my first build: 4x8 heavy-weight, with generator, A/C inside...now to begin using it!

    That's a great trailer! So... what's the wife think of "your trailer"? ;-)

    My Strange Trailer

    Looks pretty cool on the outside - lots of potential for external access, flip down shelves, etc. For off-road may need to consider ground clearance and axle/suspension strength. What's the inside look like?
