Mystery Pretty Well Solved! Thanks grnhornet, your wondering about it possibly being a civvy trailer, and your tip about the tie downs put me on the right path. It led me to a great info page on the differences between military and civilian trailers and their manufacturers...

I know, seems like a very good deal. Pics are from last fall, and if its been stored like that for a long time, I bet that front edge of the tub, on top of the A, needs work from debris and ice sitting. It's evidently been on craigslist for almost a month. Just over 2hrs away, and I'm really...

I don't think this guy knows he has a 1/4 ton military trailer. Looks like it may be an M100? https://maine.craigslist.org/tro/6157999160.html If I'd seen this before I got my trailer (just yesterday, here along the coast), I'd probably have gone up to see it. Ha, hell, if I had the room keep...

Thanks for the reply and info, Hoghead. Yeah, though I forgot to change all the pic names before uploading, I pretty much dismissed the idea it might be an M416 soon as I got home and started poking around online again. I still think it may be a WWII era Willys MB-T or Bantam T3 with the rear...

After poking around for months looking for a good trailer to start a build for overland travel and extended base-camping, I bought a military trailer this afternoon. I'd looked at a cool homemade trailer with a curved axle from an old Dodge, I fantasized about the Patriot X1 or X2 and their cool...

Wow - that's a really good vid to watch, whether building a trailer or packing one for a trip.

Oh! Meant to say, too, that if you know anyone who gets Blue Apron or other meals ordered online, they often come in some pretty nice coolers lined with flexible freezer packs. I recently got a ton of the freezer packs for free this way, along with half-a-dozen pizza-box sized aluminum...

another_mike, great article debunking the plastics/dioxin myth, along with other interesting info. Thanks. I've used frozen water bottles for ages and have a mess in my fridge right now. I often freeze new unopened Poland Spring or other store-bought water, use them to keep stuff cold in...

What I like about the Nature's Head (http://natureshead.net/) and AirHead (http://airheadtoilet.com/) units--at least for what I have planned over the next several years--is the relative ease of installation. No water supply to run for aid in flushing, no black water tank to install or empty...

This fellow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUKc1TGS-bU&t=413s - talks about his system at the 34:00 min mark) has 400W of Renogy panels on his vehicle roof and over 400Ah in his two-battery bank using Odyssey's PC 1800-FT batteries: http://shop.odysseybattery.com/p/pc1800-ft, which, if you...

Good question, Buffalobwana - pretty much just what I've been pondering since winter. I agree with ttengineer that both the Patriot X1 and Conqueror UEV490/440 trailers are tops and have lots of features to emulate. I'm seriously contemplating pulling the trigger on a Patriot--now that...

Thanks, Brady - much appreciated. I'll get in touch via email to determine scheduling and set things up. Yessah, really looking forward to this.

Still busy with Chev/GMC van conversions? Hey there - been poking around checking out your Chevy/GMC conversions and am wondering if you're still doing them, if all still IFS, and what the current deal is for a US van to be done by you and brought back to the states, mid-late 2017. I have a...
