    To all those asking about being looked inside. Not that it would be impossible to lock us in but it would be more work than it was worth. I lock the locks on the trailer side of the latches. The only way some one can lock us in is to put another lock on the latch side of the latch and then...

    Got a little more done and finally got a chance to take some pictures. For the most part now the painting is done except for a few touch ups here and there. I need to finish the carpet in the front half and tile in the back. I decided to do it that way so I can put my 4wheeler in the back or...

    Just an update. I Coated the roof with a rubberized roof cement from home depot. It was Henry brand which let me tell you was some sticky, gooey stuff. I used the mesh backing roll that was from the same company on the main seams between panels, and just coated on the rivited joints. Should take...

    I recently got a M146 enclosed trailer to pull behind the M818. I am goin to turn it into a "camper". Nothing crazy just a bed, some heat and a/c a little carpet and sanding the floor to do stained hardwood. With the exception of the floor everything will be able to come out to return to...
