M1101 trailer that sold on GL 10/15

[maddawg308]

Did anyone here get the M1101 trailer for the HMMWV that sold on GL yesterday, 10/15? Last I looked at it the high bid was $3,300 or so. It was perfect condition, and it was mislabelled as a M101 trailer. Didn't fool the bidders, though.

Who got the M1101 trailer at Stewart yesterday?

I stopped even looking at $3450, what did it fionally sell for?

I know there are not many out there yet, but damm... the M818's sold for less money than a 3/4 ton trailer!

You two must be connected like twins or something! Identical threads within 2 minute sof one another!

Hope you don't mind, I merged them as they were identical.

Rarity plays a part. There are only a few of the newer 3/4 ton trailers out there in civvy hands. Ask emmado22, he owns one of them.

I saw a few for sale at TNJ Murray last Spring, price around $3K each IIRC. They had damage to repair, however.

TNJ's M1101's are all mashed in the fronts. The one that sold yesterday looked perfect from the pics. 3K was a steal, Uncle pays 8K each.

I didn't see the final price but it didn't go past the 5:00 end time. Wouldn't matter to me if it was the last one of them all, a trailer is still just a trailer.
Does make you wonder why it was turned in. Wayne

I understand that the govt pays $8K. But, the govt pays crazy money for all of the trucks/trailers we buy and yet the prices we pay are much lower fractions than this trailer brought. I also understand the rarity. I suspose IF YOU HAD TO HAVE THE TRAILER, $3450 is not too bad...vs. paying $7-8K for a new one. Too much for my blood. I was watching it, too. I would rather have an M101A3 for probably a quarter of that price. It might not be as current, but it is a HMMWV trailer all the same.

Is the brake coupling the same as on the A2 and A3s? Still mechanical and are they identical?

 

[tsmall07]

I don't get what the big deal is either. A trailer's a trailer.

If you mean the same as a M101A2 and A3.
From TM 9-2330-392-14&P for the M1101:
a. Characteristics.
(1) All trailers are designed to be towed by a towing vehicle without airbrake connections. A handbrake lever and cable assembly located on each side of the trailer activate a service brake at each wheel. Control of each service brake is independent.
(2) In addition to handbrake-activated service brakes, the trailers are equipped with an inertia-actuated hydraulic brake system.
