    Torn between travel trailer, popup or folding

    I spent most of last winter building a M416 trailer with lid and rtt. The Mrs and I used it quite a bit over the summer. We love it! However, if I were to do it over again I would build a teardrop simply for the ease of setup. Additionally, we get a bit of wind here and I'd prefer to have hard...

    Sweet! Any close ups, or details, of the suspension mods?

    Any regrets from teardrop users?

    I'm in exactly the opposite position, but my RTT is on a trailer. After a weekend of 25-35 mph wind I really started to question if all the time and energy I spent on building up the old M416 trailer was worth it. Listening to the fly flap around all day/night and coming back to our camp to find...

    The Reality of Handling Trailers in the Back Woods

    A couple things to add, for those will little to no experience backing a trailer. First, go slow. You'll get into trouble quickly, especially with a short wheelbase trailer, if you're trying to hurry. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Second, the easiest way to not get all dyslexic and start...

    M416 measurements

    I'm not sure exactly what measurements you need. If you're in MT I'll give you my original tongue.

    sunnybean's M416 build

    In anticipation of a busy 4th of July I spent the weekend working on the trailer. The gas strut mounts that I had originally used bent quickly. So, I made some new ones out of 1/8". I also modified the propane mount to use a hinge and mounted it to the rear step. And finally, I enlisted...

    sunnybean's M416 build

    Thanks. We're planning on taking it out again this weekend. The 'Action Packer' bins fit very well. Not shown in that photo are two more of the smallest size that fit perfectly behind the 24 gal ones to hold everything tightly. I searched my inbox and found the metal hinge bushings that go with...

    Off-road coupler play, fix?

    I've welded beads onto the slide in hitch to fill the gaps. Not sure if that is the recommended way but it seems to work.

    sunnybean's M416 build

    Thank you. I was unsure if what I had built would suit my needs and didn't want to have to cut it off in case I got it wrong. Mainly I was unsure of the length. It is long but with the cooler and cans on and a swing out door I think it's going to work. It is a little longer than I'm used to as...

    Thanks johnspark! We got out yesterday for a quick overnighter. Took it up a fairly tame but rocky road and 30 or so miles of washboard roads. Everything worked well. I need to get a better system down for a few items but that will come with time. The first thing towards the organization end...
