I have a M416 and for better security I found 2 weights at the swap meet for $2.00 and an large bolt that fits the hole in the weights for $1.00. Drilled a hole in the bolt for a lock. =Cheap lock. Your trailer will be there when you get back.
On May 24 2013 all Lite Propane Tanks are recalled. Do Not Use. they cannot be filled/refilled. More info online. the company is out of business and no funds. JUST FYI=brian
I looked at 2015 Lance campers a noticed a single leg table anti-wobble bracket. See picture of Lance. I have table wobble in my Northstar 650, so here my table bracket eliminator. It stopped 90% wobble. Maybe N/S factory could make a better unit??
Has anyone throught about using truck hood hinges instead of struts. My Chevy Truck hood is heavy and it seem the spring loaded hinges lift it fine. Just FYI=brian

Just started making a Lid for my M416, I found a truck fiberglass Tonneau cover, and cut it down to 51.25"x74" to fit the top of the M416. After I cut it to size it still weights 50lbs. IMO that's too heavy. I can walk on this fiberglass on top of the trailer, It would make a great RTT base...

Don't know how many of you have a problem getting your power cable/cord out or in that 3 inch outlet, to me that little 3" electrical outlet door was just to small to fish out/in the power cord (big hands), so I ordered (ebay) a 6.5x7" power cord hatch door. I like it=easy to remove the power...
M416 reconditioning
Picked up this M416 last April 2014 , it looked OK, some light rust. First couple of picture is when I got it home, last two pictures is after about 3 months of work, includes sand blast and repaint
Army green OD and minor mod like the easy no weld extended tongue to 48"...
M416 Temporary RTT/Boat setup
I added 4 stake bed brackets (ebay) to the bed of my M416. I can now carry ladders, RTT, bike rack, boat/kayak, and still use room in the bed. I can change the height of the side beams as needed. Can be the start of a wooden lid/cover. Just FYI=brian
The original tires were dated 1965 and still held air but side walls were cracked and rode like hard solid rubber tires. So I brought low rolling resistance Cooper tubeless tires AT3 and mounted them on original army rims, mounted they do not stick out from the fenders and rode smooth on the...
Run silent, run without heavy noisy chains. Updated to 7/16"security covered wire, cut 60" bike lock cable in half and swagged new loop with a 7/16"ferrule to attach to the trailer.
Just FYI=brian see pics

I ordered 9/16” Hex plastic caps from Pro-Dec.com, they sell other sizes also, about...
