I'm looking to do a very simple setup of a 100W panel, charge controller, battery and inverter on my M101a2 trailer. I really do not want to spend a ton of money on this. The use is mainly for family camping and winter hunting trips. I dont have a fridge or any other appliance that requires a...

Thanks. I chose that height because it doesn't go higher than my truck. I decided on the design, kind of inspired by seeing someone else's with a SoftTopper on theirs. I figured I would either take it off, or have it on, I can't really see a scenario where I need to roll the sides. That...

I like the idea of this, I have a lot of experience with hub style pop-up hunting blinds and ice fishing shelters. This looks like the exact same concept. Just like with anything in life, you are going to make some comprises somewhere. While these hub designs pop out quickly and set up fast...

I picked up this trailer several years ago from govplanet. I think I paid $450 for it at the time. It didnt come with canvas or bows, but was in good shape other than old dry rotted tires. I got around to painting it earlier this year, and I kept going back and forth on what to do for a cover...

I bought 2 Yetis years ago at an auction at a steal of a price. Later, I've since picked up a 52 and 72qt Ozark Trail from Wallmart. When we are camping or hunting or fishing, the Ozark Trails are usually what I bring to be honest. I havent noticed any difference in ice retention between them...

It sucks that the Black Pine Turbo Tents are no longer available. I picked up a 10 man version of that tent about 4 or 5 years ago, and we love it. Granted, its HUGE, and heavy to haul around, but its probably easier to put up by myself than my 6 person REI Base Camp. The Turbo Tents are...

Thanks for all the feedback on this. I really like those Plano boxes and those MTM Ammo boxes. I'm not looking for submersible or marine level waterproof here, just dont have to worry if a tote is left in the back of an open truck bed, or sitting outside of tent or camp with a rainstorm or...

Various sizes really. But in general, foot locker shape/size totes are what I am looking for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over the years, I’ve been through a handful of various cheap bins for storing gear. Inevitably, the lids crack, the bins break or crack at the corners, I lose the lids, etc. I’ve decided to really put together a nice setup as I finish off my M101, and I’d like to get nice heavy duty waterproof...

Hey guys, got a M101a2 I been working on. I want propane on board, and have been weighing the pro's and con's of doing 2 smaller 11lbs tanks or just going with one standard 20lb tank. I like the flexibility of just swapping tanks out at a Walmart or gas station if we are on the road, but I...

OK, thanks so much

Anyone ever had a custom canvas made for a trailer? On my M101a2, I am looking to have a black canvas made, with a zippered back flap and a couple clear vinyl windows. I've reached out to a handful of local shops here in the Denver area, and so far I'm getting 1500-2500 dollars. Does that...

Still a work in progress. I repacked the bearings, put new tires on it, painted the frame and tub, made bows out of 3/4" conduit, and added a beer bottle opener! I'm going to have a custom canvas made for it, with a zippered flap in the back and a clear vinyl window on the front and back. Not...

Awesome job, I really like those lights and markers, I'm trying to decide what to put on mine! Thanks

Thanks dstock, yours looks great! Yeah, it has been fun working on this thing. I picked mine up from govplanet a few years ago for 475 bucks. I am keeping it pretty simple so far, opting to keep the axle and and surge brake, at least for now. I cleaned, scuffed and sanded the whole thing...

It was a productive weekend for me, I finally got around to finishing paint on my M101a2. Now, I am looking at lights. Initially, I just had a cheap set from Home Depot, and even though its an LED set, they are still pretty dim and dont seem to work all that well. I would like to do a good...

I'm in the process of finishing up an M101a2 to use for hunting/camping and family camping. I really like alot of the ideas I get here and other overlanding sites and forums. One thing that has me scratching my head. When you guys build out a trailer, they do look super cool when recovery...

Thanks for the reply, I have been thinking about doing this, its probably my best option.

I’ve back to working on my M101, not looking to do anything too radical with it. I don’t have the cargo canvas or bows, so I’m just trying to figure out some sort of alternative. I don’t really want to do a topper or camper shell on it, because I like having the flexibility of using it as just a...

I bought a m101a2 about 5 years ago, and really haven’t done much too it other than 12v lights. I didn’t come with bows and canvas. I’ve really just used it as a utility trailer and hauled family camping gear in it a bunch. Initially i didn’t think I would like a RTT, but the more I think about...
