My *slow going* M416 camping trailer build.

Thanks guys! I could not have done it without my buddy.

It is finished for now, ready for our trip other than labeling the switches which I will do tomorrow.

Foam on the uprights @ camp to keep grease at bay.

Lift Mech for now

Battery box, there is a float charger mounted on the front wall of the box that you cannot see in the pic.

Rear reverse/spot lamps mounted. They also can be turned on using one of the toggle switches on the box when unhooked from the truck.

Extinguisher mounted

Hand brake moved

New linkage made, just need to go buy a 5/16 nut. I had a die, but no nut.

Light test

Edit:

Switches that are hooked up are labeled. I have plans for the other two eventually, the flash kind of washed out the words though.

Very nice work!

Generator mounted and locked up, keep the honest guy honest anyway.

My dad was being a smart *** and said it was missing something, so I set up the last two switches just for him

I don't know if I will get the proper Flux Dispersal though between the trailer and H3, especially without the stainless steel exterior.

Was loading for our trip and saw the 33's were going to rub badly, so ran it to the tire shop for some new rubber. I didn't even have the cooler in and saw signs of an issue. Really didn't want to do it, but with 2000 miles ahead of us and a toddler with us I wasn't risking it. Put us behind and didn't make it to where we planned so we are in a state park tonight. We got in late and got to find out exactly how handy those back up spot lamps are when disconnected from the truck. The cooler lights stuck to the inside of the lid are perfect too. Pics to come later!

Can't remember, did you do a springover? Only way I could get my 33's to fit.

No I didn't because of I do it wouldn't ride even close to level behind our stock H3. I would spring over it if it was behind my big jeep

Hector just went in and out, in and out... he loved it.

I can sniff them out... these have been in this spot well over 10 years. I first saw them around 2001.

More...

I left my GoPro in time lapse mode during the thunderstorm, the next three shots are the only 3 out of 1000+ that caught anything.

Nice Build looks like y'all had a great trip. What size tires did you end up geting.

 

[Chris Cordes]

Looks great man!

 

[Mark Harley]

Very Nice! Thanks for the pictures.
Did you get mobbed by questions at the camp ground?

Not the first one where we didn't set up all the way, we were in late and out early. The one we were at for 3 days I think every camper there asked us stuff.
