this is a Chuckwalla tent trailer that was made in the 60's. it was used in southern california by a Jeep club. not sure if one guy was doing the mods and selling the trailers or if a bunch of club members did their own. judging by the lunette hitch it was probably a M100 or WWll trailer.

M416

The first modification I made was to do a spring over and do new wheels and tires, then I sand blasted and repainted, lengthened the tongue and added a rack and a rootop tent which works well, but I want to improve on it so the rack can be raised and lowered with one person.

It is an ongoing build to try and see if I can ever spend enough money on it that I wish I would have bought a Kimberly Kamper instead...:D
