Thanks for all the help guys. Keep it coming. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up later next week.

That's mine. So the large box on top of the hitch, that I've seen on other models, is a surge brake? What is that for? Is it that important that I have one?

I won the auction for a M101A1 trailer today. First off, I know very little about these, except the little that I've read on here. I've seen a few builds, and they look pretty cool. Since this is my inaugural run with one, please let me know what I need to do to it to make it road worthy. I've...

Eat all the brookies, they over populate if you don't. Man are they tasty too.:sombrero:

Wow, that thing is sweet!

Solid ring, I'll try and send a picture of it tomorrow.

I'M IN!!!:victory::victory::victory:

Here's my Springbar Vagabond 7.. It's great.

says Coleman, but looks like a blue Springbar. Awesome.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I don't quite get how you put them in though. Basically screw them in with a drill? This seems like it would speed up the process quite nice. The worst part of the tent is pounding all of those stakes in. The Springbar has big metal loops to put the stakes...

You have a nice set up. That's a cool looking rig. Looks like we have the same tent, except mine doesn't have the front window. I wished I would have gotten the upgraded model like yours, that's the cheapskate in me.

Yeah, the Springbar realy does need most of it staked out. I tried to only do the corners before and I didn't like it. What's that about changing diapers...UGH, I barely did that when my kids were little. But yeah, looks like you could be inside much quicker. You have to start with the pegs on...

Serrano campground, on the north shore of Big Bear Lake. It's really nice and very clean. That's the second time I've been up there. We also went over Memorial day; it was packed, but the sites are decently sized so I didn't feel to cramped. It's a good place for those that have wives that...

Looks interesting. Does it smell like diesel when it's running?

I agree, I love a warm tent when it's cold. This should extend my trips considerably.

They grow up way to fast. I've still got my little girl, she'll be turning 7 next month and my son's gonna turn 18 next month. Man the time fly's take them out as much as you can now. I wish I had five more years with my boy. Seems there is no "perfect" rig, just the best set of compromises...

I love my wife's FJ. Driving around town or on the trails, it's great, so much more maneuverable. I have to give a blood oath to her though, so that she'll let me take it out on the trail. I can't say as I blame her, the desert pin-striping on my truck is just awesome. I'd be dead if I did that...

Thanks for all of the good info guys. I think you're right, cutting a hole in the tent would suck, and set up time would definitely be longer. I never thought about the cool down time for a wood burner, but I can just imagine trying to pack up with a stove that's still hot, then there's the...

Honu: That's definitely an option. The only thing is it makes me nervous running one inside the tent because of the low O2 and products of combustion. So it sounds like you let it run all night, or at least the pilot??? Do you open up a window or door to help with ventilation and fresh air? In...

So, I want to get something to heat my monstrous tent. The options I've seen are; Mr. Heater, wood burning stove, forced air furnace (seen on the AT site), make a rocket stove and plumb it into the tent and trying to find a used Zodi. This is how I see each of those options: *Mr. Heater would...
