M1101 build

[John Woznick]

Got this m1101 a while back. I’ll be posting progress pics of the build. View attachment 123983
First got rid of 37” tires and got hitch so it would ride level. View attachment 123984View attachment 123985

Looks like it's in great shape. If you don't mind me asking what do those usually go for and where did you find it?

I found it on Craigslist but I’ve also seen them on Facebook. They’re usually between $2000-1000.

Keep the updates coming, I need inspiration to use mine for more than dump hauls! Bought mine to become a base camp trailer for hunting and such, but didn't get past 12 volt and led conversion. Too many projects, too little time and money.View attachment 124896

I’m actually further along with trailer I’m just a slow writer. View attachment 126378. I ended up scraping this rack because trailer is quite a bit wider than tent and lost about 16”-18” of usable space with annex. View attachment 126381View attachment 126384. This is a full length drawer. I hope the aluminum won’t bend.

Welding aluminum is a lot harder than I expected.

What is the thickness of the square tube you used for the top? Have you had any issues so far with the weight of the RTT and people sleeping inside?

I used 1 1/4” square steel 1/8 thick to make rack. I basically made a bed slide for rack so the whole tent slides over so annex doesn’t drape over side of trailer. No issues with weight. Tent is Cvt mt Denali summit series and around 500 lbs between 3 of us sleeping.
