GREAT idea! Going to have to do that.

Im back. due to shoulder surgery I haven't been able to do much in the past 5 months other than collect parts. Starting next week here is the list of the next mods on the M1102 trailer.

1. I like the all tan look of the trailer but its missing something - Oh yes an American Army Star on both sides in black.
2. Solar panel up on top with tilt adjustable bracket.
3. 1500W inverter with remote on/off button
4. Propane water tank, Hoffman 24" x 16" x 6" industrial control panel with key to secure it in, water pump, water lines and 20 gal tank. Inlet and outlet stainless steels ports just not sure where to install them yet.
5. Purchased foldable kitchen table with sink and installed quick disconnects to hook up water line.
6. AMP Meter to check current load draw.
7. Wire up cigaret port inside trailer with USB port. I will be using this port to provide power to a 12VDC TF 51 AC/DC - Portable Fridge/Freezer.
if anyone is looking for a fridge contact the guys over at truckfridge. If you order the FT51 fridge use coupon code "Toyota" and pay $449.00 shipped with not tax.

Made some progress today. I was able to remove one of the propane tank brackets to make way for the hot water heater metal storage box. I lucked out, due to that I didn't measure the space before I purchased the box and it fit like a glove between the frame rail and roof rack.

I also figured out where to install the solar panel and roof entry box. I just need to complete the installation and wiring.

Today I was able to mount the inverter and solar controller as well as the water inlet and outlet. Last item of the day was the Army star decal.

I spent this weekend Installing the water tank, pump, hoses and wiring for the pump. I used an old ATV basket to support the tank and picked up some adjustable double end eye bolts to secure the basket.

Would anyone recommend max coupler or lock and roll over the pintel?

This may help in your decision. I have a Pintle hitch but would like to swap for a Max C but other priorities and the fact that I don't have my M101A2 on crazy switchback trails.

I removed the covers from the black-out lights, installed a regular white bulb, and wired the black-out light circuit into the reverse connection of the hitch harness.

Do can you share some pics and let me know the bulb p/n? I'm looking to do this on my 1102.
