Bought a 100’ roll from McMaster-Carr.
Wasn't that expensive.
Used less than half.
It’s the simple things in life.
Now I don’t mind getting in and out of trailer.
Ropes were a PITA.

I used the 5/16” size since I needed a loop.
Fit great!
Yes. Just a knot behind the tarp at each tiedown point.
That way I can adjust in future if needed.
It is not a continuous loop all the way around

Moved a little dozer. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to add music...

That video is extremely steady. What make of drone do you have ? Also where were you standing when you where controlling the drone ? I couldn't see you.

It's a DJI Mavic Pro. There was actually a 5-10 mph crosswind coming in from the right of the drone from where it was staged. It got a workout trying to hold position but it did very well considering.
I was on the driverside of the truck until I got it in position. I set the remote down to assist with loading, then picked it back up for the pan around the truck.

That didnt even look like it squatted the suspension at all on the truck. Cool video

Good to see the little kids enjoying the trailer as much as the big kids!

Swamp donkey im still in love with that trailer.trying to convince myself that I want a equipment trailer but a car trailer my smaller rigs can tow is more practical.

Looks great. how high will it extend or is that it?
I’m interested in something like that for my trailer, have been looking at used Harmar and other brands of electric wheelchair lifts; something like this might do the trick.
What brand/model is that?

Good idea.
Will have to check it out at Harbor Freight after our ice storm passes.
Could use small Crane like that in my M101A2.
Edit.
Looked at the website
Handy item for sure
Looks like I’ll have to get one.

Cool commuter. I wonder how much weight you lost swapping wheels on m1101?

I understand they weigh 142# each, so a bit less than 300# total is my guess. The wheels on the trailer now ride much smoother than the 37s that it came with.
