Hello fellow adventurists! A few months ago I picked up a nice 1989 M416a1 trailer in decent shape. It needed a new floor but otherwise is mostly rust free. I have modified the lunette setup as I don't need surge
brakes and want a pivoting hitch setup like the max coupler.
Now that I'm working on the lid I have a few questions. The biggest being which way to hinge it. I see some hinge it at the front but most seem to do it from the side. It seems the if you hinge it at the front, it would work best with a RTT that's opened but maybe it doesn't matter? I won't be putting a RTT on right away but might in the future, for now we're loving our 10/14 Kodiak canvas.
Secondly, how do you figure out what lb rated struts are needed and how to figure out the placement of them.
Thanks
SB
