Strange M1101/M1102 Cargo Cover ??

[BadRobot]

What type of cover is it? Can I remove rack/shelf and use it like regular cargo cover? It seems to me that the cover is more rigid than regular one. I just want to put rooftop tent on it. It might have advantages to setup as overland trailer since it has built-in shelf.

That is a very interesting trailer. What is it set up for? Am also curious about the landing legs positioned on the back.

I think those legs get stored in the front, not blocking the tail lights.

I would imagine you'd be fine for a while.

Eventually, that top will go bad and you will have fun finding a replacement for it. I doubt a "regular" top would work since the framework is way different.

You never know though, side access will be handy, I just hope the velcro holds up for ya.

Since those are GovPlanet pics I'd say the OP wasn't the one that left them that way.

No, it is not mine but I saw it on GP. One thing that I will worry about is the cover. How am I going to find the replacement in the future?

Don't plan on it. Sheet metal that thing and make yourself an awesome teardrop trailer.

That cage is awesome as is the custom side entry cover. I would use it as is but remove the internal slides and just keep the skeleton.

I also am curious what they racks were used for. Id like to have a green one to go with my tan one.

Anyone figure the rack system out?

There was a trailer in March that sold with the gizmos attached still. Power supplies, batteries, and looked like transfer switches. They also had a slave port connection and other stuff?

Surprised one sold with everything on it.

I would recommend scrapping the framework which is probably aluminum and switching to a regular cover and bows. That cover has to be mighty special and not likely to be found.

That's a great cover! I like it alot better than the normal one that's on the towns. It's a pain to roll the sides up. We have a hydro power unit in ours with a water main valve insertion machine.

The trailer is used for communication and data equipment when you are moving around and for setting up in the field or overseas. Basically plug and play data/communication server. It's aluminum shelving that allows various items to be slid into place and clamped down.

Keep the racks. I would make a good pizza delivery trailer. Got to keep the troops fed

 

[Landbarger]

Has anyone picked one of these things up yet?

 

[BadRobot]

If someone needs only the trailer, I will buy the rack and cover as long as it is still completed set. I can even remove it myself.
