I made a camper/deer blind out of one of my 1101’s and an S250 shelter.
eBay RV windows cost me close to $1k (I did buy a couple extras).
I didn’t like the first size I chose, so I had to repair the holes I cut to install the new windows. I used aluminum sheets thicker than the actual skin of...
Is that a civi kit or a military spring kit?
I have hauled many, many 1.5 ton loads (+/- one yard of gravel). Mine would just kiss the bump stop w 3k in it.
Agree. Love those trailers
I’m a big fan of painting the canvass. It makes it last sooooo much longer.
I have shared my canvass repair method before, but I’ll share it again here.
When my 923 tarp wore down to threads in one spot, I did an experiment. I soaked a big 2’x2’ piece of bedsheet as a “patch” in Behr paint and...
I started using Behr in 2016, so, 5.5 years. Not sure I can say it’s like new without touching up to see the difference, but it has no appearance of fading.

Mine was in terrible shape. You can tell it’s a patch, but it looks just fine.
I think It’s a good idea to paint covers to protect them against the sun and wind.
On that note, I had a cargo cover that was worn to threads in parts. I painted up to the threads, then I wet a bedsheet with paint and laid it across the damaged area. Then rolled paint across the edges to make sure it sealed.
It has held up for 5 years and many 100’s of miles.
