    Tire pressure for trailer tires

    I am a regular guy, not an engineer. Someone here posted about traction. What does traction have to do with anything when off road on a vehicle that is not self propelled? I would think that a skinnier pizza cutter tire would do better off road on a trailer than a wide tire. I am curious to see...

    CL Find (Victoria) Cool expo trailer build

    I agree. The price seems fair for what you are getting.

    Sleeping in Walmart parking lot with roof top tent

    As I mentioned earlier. IMHO the huge advantage of Walmart is being able to roll in at 1AM and set up shop. Most campgrounds I have used in the past will not allow you to enter/set-up that late at night to prevent you from disturbing others while you set up camp. Sure, saving the 30 bucks is...

    Acadia National park Blackwoods campground: Anyone use an M101 on a tent site?

    Never mind. Finally found some pics. Looks like they use boulders to block you from entering the area where the tent would normally be set up.

    Acadia National park Blackwoods campground: Anyone use an M101 on a tent site?

    I am looking to go there this summer. I wanted to check in here to see if anyone has been recently to see about the feasibility of using my M101 with roof top tent on a tent site. Obviously I would like to avoid setting up shop in the RV section if I can help it. When I camped at Grand Tetons...

    No.5 1965 Australian Army Trailer

    I don't always agree with the things people do to their trailers. In your case, everything you have done has been great. Quality work, and very creative too. I am new to the military trailer game. Can you please tell me what that black "welded on can of soup" thing is in the center of your rear...

    The Contraption - a M101A3 Build

    Was the 7 pin wiring harness on the JK a plug and play type? If so, what did you go with?

    Sleeping in Walmart parking lot with roof top tent

    To clarify a bit: I am looking to be legit. I would only set up there if Walmart policy allowed it. And I would certainly give them my financial support as well. IMHO the big advantage of Walmart is being able to roll in at midnight and grab some sleep. Lots of campgrounds will not allow you to...

    Sleeping in Walmart parking lot with roof top tent

    I know that Walmart allows and encourages people with RV's to sleep in their parking lots overnight. Has anyone slept there using a roof top tent? I cant imagine they would have an issue with it, but there is a fine line between someone sleeping overnight and "setting up camp". The fact that...

    The Contraption - a M101A3 Build

    Looks like you are off and running as they say. I have an M101A3 and the exact same tent and awning combo that you have. I got lucky as my trailer came with an ARE truck cap on it that has locking doors. I am looking forward to seeing what else you do to yours.

    Going out Solo, Recovery options.

    Can you elaborate on this? I had a Pull Pal years back. I sold it (and now regret it, although I dont miss its bulk and weight) and am interested in what you are referring to here.
