Just had friend pick this one up for me Thursday. PO and his father had done some mods like mount ford spare system where the spare cranks upward tightly underneath. Extended top prob 6 inches taller. Installed lid which locks from top without need for separate locks.

Placed vents on side to prevent gear from mil dewing. Axle has been packed and new tires were put on 5 years ago. It hasn't been used and was stored most of the time after that. When outside under canopy it had covers on wheels which look brand new and no dry rot.

2inch hitch placed on back for bike rack.

He included all his gear from deep fryer, 2 hp 1250 watt generator which is new, paha que screen room , Coleman stove with all his plates and silverware. Lantern which mounts to trailer.

No rust, PO says that they bought it from farmer who stored oil cans in it which probably sealed the metal saving it from rust.

Sorry about that last one, this IPad can be pain in butt.

I would like to see some mods on exterior and interior that have worked well for other camping.
 
Very nice. Just picked up one myself. Can you post pics of the spare tire mounting system please. :)
 
Sure can, about to go to show with kids. Will take some of the underside tomorrow.
 
I like the idea of the side extension for improved lockable capacity.

On the other hand, even as a tall person, it's 6" more to lift over.
 
When taking inventory of everything the gentleman included I definitely repacked it with heavy items opposite of the hinge items. It is difficult to lift the heavier items over elevated lip. or reaching all the across trailer and grab items. I'm 6'3" and it is right at the end of my reach.

I would like to strengthen the top to where I can mount a roof top tent. I would like to mount brackets on sides to where I can mount the 5 gallon water and fuel containers.

I very interested in seeing how others have done some mods and have been searching the forums for em.
 
Nice looking trailer, What are your upgrade plans?

Thanks for correcting the photo, sadly I looked at it several times before I figured what had happened!:bang:
