As in . . . the Modular Operational Activity Base. I can't abide "single use" pieces of gear - - usually need to stretch the stuff I own into multiple uses.
I have a smaller motorcycle trailer from a company called Kendon - - it's a two rail trailer that folds and stands upright when not in use. Generally, I use it to haul one of the Buells to track days here in the Northwest, or "rescue" other scooter trash that have bike issues.
Here's a picture of the trailer with the Buells (track day/Sport bike in the foreground, daily commuter behind). . .
So, the goal was to modify this trailer so that I can use it for extended camping trips, purely as a base of operations, hence the "Operational Activity Base", naming, and make it so that it's easy to reconfigure between hauling bikes and camping, so "Modular". . . No intent to pull it behind the rig on any trail. . .
So, build a frame, mount some lockable storage boxes, throw on a roof top tent, and call it a day. . .
Okay, full disclosure: the above write-up (and photos) I've posted on another enthusiast site - - 10 years ago. . .

But heading out to Moab in a few weeks, so need to shake off the dust and re-assemble the unit. So here it was this morning:
All coming together - - a few hours to get it all back together.
Deck lid on hinges so I can add stuff into the "well" between the two side boxes.
Great place for spare drive shafts, axle shafts, etc.
And all done.
