My *slow going* M416 camping trailer build.

Picked up some more goodies to move it along.

will be watching to see where this goes, I may copy a few ideas fro my M416 from you

[jeepfreak81]

The Coleman outlet was having a truckload sale and I ended up dropping some coin there today in preparation for the trailer and our trip.

Picked up 2 of these for inside of the lid when at camp. They may get used elsewhere, but I thought they may be good for that.



Picked this up because the wife wanted it for the trailer.



Also got a lantern holder and some other things.

LOL on the tongue box. Harbor Freight right??

It must be required equipment on M416's. Set mine up to still use the brake.

I wanted a different one... but the plastic TSC ones are as much as the HF steel one, and the aluminum one I wanted was more then double the price. I HATE buying the Chinese stuff but this and the jacks were a no brainer. Mine will still use the brake as well, I feel it is a must when using it with the RTT, especially at an elevated height.

Nice score on the coleman items!

I'm on the road, but my buddy sent me some pictures from tonight!



He removed the brake handle and is going to mount it horizontally under the box. This allowed him to tuck the box further back and lower.

More pics from tonight...

Marine pull switch, first position turns on the invertor, second position turns on the battery meter and invertor



AC Connection/charger connection



Removable tail light pigtail







Tail light boxes





it will be a knee catcher, but it works.



Painted the front preparing for the box. Most of the old paint was in decent shape so I knocked off the loose stuff then primed. Messing with the CARC or whatever it is called is not on my agenda anytime soon.



It was about this point we realized the fender had gotten bent.



I cut it loose, and Adam will get it welded back up. There will be diamond plate on the top as a step



Some pics with the box setting in place





Also trying to figure out where to mount the spare since the back will have a kitchen area... I may just mount it and get a portable kitchen.

Looking good!

Glad to see that nose box fit so well. I just saw one at HF yesterday, and wrote down the dimensions.

Now I don't have to try and envision how it will look!
