Here is my converted m101cdn trailer
I'm not a trailer or RTT owner and never really considered them much, but this is a great looking setup. Any chance of a little pic tour of the setup sometime? Looked at your profile and did not see any, forgive me if I've overlooked.

Here is my new overlanding trailer....... well maybe camping trailer. I came across this single wheel trailer last summer and just had to rescue it. When I was a kid back in the 1960's my mom had a VW and she would take me and my brother camping. She bought a used single wheel trailer and we use it for camping for several years. I sandblasted the wheel, painted it and new tire, I made a new attachment system to use my Reese style hitch. I get a lot of strange looks and it has been a lot of fun. And no it would not be very good for off road.IMG_20200724_182734 copy.jpgIMG_20200724_193313 copy.jpgIMG_20200724_193341_1 copy.jpg

Put a KLR swing arm and monoshock on it and you'll have a proper dual sport trailer.

Built up 4x6 tractor supply flat bed. It's gone through several configurations until I finally settled on this one.
Spring over axle lift, added heavy walled square tubing for spine and rear receiver hitch, extended the tongue, added box and platform, custom fenders and jeep rims, just upgraded to 3500# axle because the original was bent.

Australian ex-army No. 5 trailer. In the pic it's hooked up to my modified Land Rover 110 Perentie FFR, but it will also be hauled by our newly-acquired JKU.

At the moment the trailer is still in its in-service condition, but we have a pickup bed rack I will install on it as a bolt-on/bolt-off option for mounting awnings and potentially a soft-shell canvas roof top tent. The trailer itself is wired to carry one or more 135Ah battery boxes which power electrical items such as lights and fridge during long drives.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), this particular No. 5 trailer is a little rare so I won't be butchering it by cutting a tailgate into it. At a later date I might track down another one just for the Jeep and mod it a little more.

To tow the trailer with the Jeep will require a rotating NATO pintle hook on a hayman reese 2in x 2in plate, and I have to make up a 12-pin NATO to 7-pin flat plug adapter for the electrics.
