    What did you do to your trailer today.

    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...

    What did I do? I paid Ironplanet for my 4th M1101. Dang, I love those trailers.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    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

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    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...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    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. It does depend on what you spray. CARC has a heavier more adhesive surface and holds the paint extremely well. But even M1101 or 101...

    Have you thought of a satin finish? I have done M923 and a couple trailers satin and it’s super sharp!

    Did you lift your bed when you added 16.00's?

    I saw, somewhere, that a guy welded 1/4” plate under the bed where the wheel would contact, in order to keep the braces from tearing up his treads.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    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.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    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.

    I’ll ask. I wonder if my city will allow it. I don’t know the code here.
