tent
91,
I have seen them via net pictures. Great little design. Actually the best I have seen. I have a M101 trailer and I'm going to have a tent made bascially like their design, just a little better for the trailer. Let's see some pictures too. When you get a chance pm me. I need to see alot of photos of the tent if possible. I will be ordering my tent soon, and need to get some construction details from you.

yeah, i have just come into the new millenium....digital camera!!
have a weekend camp trip set up for this coming weekend, will take and post pics.
Gman...no problem, these tents seem great, as does the trailer. i will modify as i see fit and as needed. i actually came across a gentleman who has a few of these trailers in different trim/option packages....A HUGE AND RARE FIND!! trying to work out some #'s with him for another trailer or possibly 2. Possible modify and re-sell. These have been sitting unmaintained and un covered outside in all types of weather for a couple years, sun rain snow, etc...
Gman- let me know what in particular you want pics/measurements for, be glad to send them to you, Jeff

Nice score. They are great little units, though the suspension is pretty lacking.

The VenturCraft uses a torsion axle, with about 1-2" of wheel travel. That really slows you down on the corrugated roads and rocky surfaces. On technical trails (slow) and the highway, its great.
The drawbar is also subject to bending. I had to replace mine
