    Default New to me "Trailers LTD"

    Just picked this up over the weekend. From what I understand they are no longer in business, I don't know why??? this thing is built like a tank. Anyone have any info on these, such as weight, Etc.. The bed is approximately 4'x7', bigger than a 416, which is what I was looking for, but the price was too good to pass up.

    Never heard of them but nice trailer. Really like the canvas top and rail for RTT. Looks like my M416.

    This is from the Autohome site, pretty sure this is my trailer when new. (If this pic is in violation of some sort of copy right I will remove it)

    Sweet trailer and a great find. I like the double RTT on top. Perfect for giving the kids their own space.
    What are the plans? keep stock or customize it to your needs? matching wheels and tires? Paint?
    Keep us informed on the build.

    Thanks Mark, so far after owning it for three days, I have removed and sold one of the tents (I go solo with other guys, or just me and my wife, kids are all grown). I took off the Hummer wheels and sold them, gonna put stock Tacoma wheels to match my truck along with matching the spare. Removed the 6000lb axle, going with a 3500lb axle. Trimmed the tent cross bars flush with the top of the canvas top (only one tent now, no more limb catchers) I'm gonna paint it black after removing all the surface rust. I found it near the coast so lots of misty nights over the years caused spots of surface rust, the frame is clean and solid.

    That thing is friggin awesome, I have never seen one with the dual RTT setup but I can understand why you would want to narrow it down. If you don't mind the question, how much did you pay for it?

    Yeh looks like an M416 base, the draw bar looks to be lengthened (by how much ?) after looking at your other picture from the autohome site.

    Great find man, I think I would have kept the other tent, those grand children would have loved it PaPa. Mine anything they can climb on is heaven.

    Will continue to follow your build. Good luck and have fun.
