I was getting a little discouraged with the cracks in the sidewalls on the 6 x16 military tires since I will be packing a 5000watt diesel generator, wire feed and some other heavy stuff.
I went to my tire farm where I have 2 sets of Bridgestone Jeep Service Bias Ply that I used on my FJ40 and then on the Cummins powered Dodge. I have had them laying around since 1989. So I put 2 of them on the MB-T. It took me about 1.5 hours to get the old ones off and put the Jeep Service ones on. I had to be carefull not to pich the inner tubes.
The trailer sits quite a bit higher now.

Came up with this canopy idea a couple of days before taking off on our 2 week expo to the Central Coast / Chilcotin.

Even on the bumpy stuff the "canopy" is hanging on .

This set-up is FAAAAAR from hi tech but it works and the canopy weight is 90lbs yes 90 lbs. It is glued and screwed and held up to tree branches bashing it . The best of all it kept my Dad and I warm and dry. Warm WTF it is summer. Not where we were. One morning it was down to -1c on average the mornings on the central coast(Chilcotin ) have been around 4-5c
We used heater hose and sliced it to wrap on to the trailer gunwhales. The 1/4" plywood is glued and stapeled to the 2x2s and is siliconed to be leak-proof . Which it is.

Not alot of room but it is cozy. 2 therma-rest Base Camps just fit, well kind-off. Like I said it was put together using scrap pieces of wood and No drawings.
When done using , the canopy is easily lifted off with 2 people and put away for next trip.
