Well the trailer towed flawless. I need to put a better seal on the lid to prevent dust. And attach a spare tire mount underneath.

It was towed 200 miles on dirt roads without a problem.

Might I suggest throwing a Plexiglass protection layer over the rear window of the tow vehicle to guard against rocks? I've heard couple of folks having cracked rear window from towing the military trailers while off road. The theory is that the rocks getting kicked out by tow vehicle's rear tires bounce of the front surface of the trailer and break the window.

I'm digging your shop. PM me with details please!

Thanks.

Mine doesnt throw rocks forward. I didnt go with a larger tire just for that reason. Also my tread isnt too agressive so that wont be a problem. My shop is 2 bays, 36x36, waste oil heated, beer fridge, pole barn style with full insulation.

Not throwing forward, I was referring to the tow vehicle throwing rock backwards! Only time will tell!

Nice size for the shop!

found m101 trailers.

Was looking for m101 trailer for myself, the place in B.C is sold out.
However, west ed equipment still have some left. . They have been used and have dings with some rust patches, not much remains with original lights. Hope this helps some-body looking?
