Trailer registration storage

[Nick]

Im looking for something decent looking and somewhat period correct for storing the registration on my 52 M101. This way the registration is with the trailer and not in my truck when I loan it out or whatever.

I keep seeing those clear plastic bubble lookin things and I'm not crazy about em.

What do you guys use??

Thanks

Nick

Maybe some kind of OD canvas bag. Then put the registration in a ziplock bag to keep water out.

I have the camo log books that we used in the Army for the same purpose for all my trucks/trailers.

A piece of 1" pipe with caps and a mount tab welded on it.

A plastic pill tube of propper size will also help.

You could always use a section of 1 1/2" PVC with a glue cap on one end and a female adapter on the other. Can be mounted with exhaust clamps under the cargo body. For a cap over the female adapter, I use a Hayward SP1022C cap. 1.5 THREADED PLUG W/O-RING - SP1022C

Paint it green or tan to match your trailer. Not period correct but darned useful and can be mounted out of sight!

Commercial vehicles use a small metal waterproof container for the title of various semi-trailers. The driver needs to have the title to the trailer he is pulling, so the problem has already been worked out, and nothing new needs to be invented. Many of the suppliers have them like Betts, VelVac, etc.....

You could mount the clear style one under the bed out of site.

I use a 7.62 ammo can mounted on the frame. Can put a lock on it and it's water proof.

I like the ammo can idea. I actually has considered a small metal square tool box on the tongue, so I don't know where I'd put another, like an ammo can. But I like it.

The pipe and caps on the "A" frame is a good one too.

So the actual paperwork on real military trailers wasnt carried with them? Or was there even any paperwork that went with them?

All good ideas. Still like to hear more
Thanks

Nick, every piece of equipment has a logbook, which contains a copy of the hand receipt ( mil version of a registration) and it goes everywhere the equipment does. If Soldier A is taking a Water Buffalo to get filled, he is "supposed" to have the logbook for the trailer with him in the towing vehicle.

Ok, so there isn't an original style thing for them mounting it on the trailer then.
