That looks identical to the one I have... so I'm pretty confident it'd work. It's not exactly rocket science.

Hey Guys really enjoying this thread and all the good information.. I picked up my 2010 Silver Eagle M1101 on Monday,, Its brand new It's crazy they are selling these.. Anyway off I went to Craigslist for some Chevy rims with the lug cap covers. I have read all the threads I can find on these trailers and had found where it was posted to use 9/16" x 18 Dual thread lug nuts for the rims I bought to work with the lug cover.. The 2010 M1101 does not have that size stud.. I went to a used tire store he gave me 1- 9/16" x 18 to try and it is to small for the stud.. I then went to several auto parts stores and lowes and depot with the original nut and no success.. From what I saw at the different stores I'm thinking it is a metric 14 x 1.25 anybody have any info on this ?? I looked in the manual it called for part#90640 but no description on what size nut that part is..

Mine are 7/8"
Not sure of thread.
While at OKC I tagged up with Spartan and he removed my GM 8 lug and mounted a M101 steel wheel and tire and it lowered the trailer another 2-3 " from where the GM wheels lowered it. Made it even more level behind the Silverado pickup., but the wheelwell had an awful lot of empty space in it making it look weird.

Well you know what they say don't assume... So This morning went to the bolt store and found the 1 lug nut I had removed to check size was crossed threaded,, he cleaned it out for me and said it's 9/16" x 18 just like everyone said.. He gave me a bolt that size and I pulled another when I got home yep that's it.. I guess I picked the wrong nut..

Like Paul Harvey.................And now you know the rest of the story.
Good thing to know. Now when I find one cheap I know my lugs and wheels will work.

I don't know ton, but mine seemed a little small for the lunette ring on the trailer. It bound up during a turn and bent the riser plate before it popped free.

If you look at the riser in this picture you can see the twist/bend: http://www.topohiker.com/FS/TFS/TFS11a.png

I just brought home our M1101 trailer and started to fill out the online SF97 form, and stopped when it asked for the VIN
When filling out the SF97 what did you put for the Vin? Serial number?

I just went and looked at my 99 dated trailer, and on the right front frame rail there is a data plate with lots of info. One of the lines says Manufacturers Serial number. That would be a good one to go with. The other is a government number

The VIN I used on my Nevada title was 5 digits: manuf. serial number.

I also used the serial number and DMV said even though there was another utility trailer with the same VIN "serial nr. " that it was ok. It is now licensed and ready to haul.
