Won two M101 A1's at Carson and picked them up today! One at a time was a bummer, but both towed great. What a joy after pulling a 105!!! Trailers are in great shape, new covers, good stakes, no dents or rust and brand new Superlugs on both!!! Nothing like a GOOD surprise. And as an added bonus, they came from my former battalion COANG 2/135 AVN - keeping one and selling the other if anyone is interested.

Dave what are you towing them or it with? Was done there Tuesday to pick up truck side racks and a deuce cargo cover that was listed as a M105 trailer cover. Pleasent surprise.

Carson Trailers

I did the same trip last week but was able to get both trailers on a larger trailer. Would have to say the GL staff at Fort Carson were some of the best I have worked with. Very patient and helpful getting the trailers situated.
Glad to say I got to experience Denver 5:00 p.m. traffic :roll:
Was also fortunate enough to have one trailer with the spare tire mount and a flat spare attached.
Very happy with my purchase!!

Those are some beauties! I picked my first M101 about a month ago. Wasn't near that nice, but I was pleasantly surprised to it's condition. The paint on the wood was peeling off, so I sanded, stripped, and re-painted the wood. Still have the bows to refinish. Cover seems to be in good condition. I picked up the trailer during pretty rainy days and no water in the bed, so cover must be decent. My tires were pretty bad, sun rot and pretty warn. I lost a chunk of tire somewhere on I70 coming home from a deer scouting trip. I was doing 75MPH on several occasions, probably a bit too fast on those old tires. I consider myself pretty lucky for not having the tire come completly apart. I now have new tires, so am ready for travel now. Nice score you got there....
