After years of tent camping with my sons, I started to think about something with a few more comforts.
I have an M416, and was fond of the military style trailer for dragging up mild trails. Then as luck would have it, I found a guy on Pirate selling a camper he had built for a M101a2.
So, I picked up a m101a2 from a surplus guy in PA, and away we go.
Overall theme of this will be low budget and utilitarian. We use a Boy Scout style chuck box for cooking, so we don't need kitchen space or plumbing. The camper will sleep three plus a dog, and storage space for gear.
I've got the trailer and camper, but haven't mounted the camper yet. The paint is in good shape, so I will probably leave it for now.
Long term, I may do an axle swap to get electric brakes. But, in the short run, does anyone know of a source for a cheap spare tire for these trailers?
