then there was this......photo courtesy of none other than the opportunistic PMC......
Man. Not much. I'd say 1000# soaking wet. A m416 is designated as a 1/4 ton. So #500
I don't know mine is back there. My truck would kick down on occasion with it but it would have without it.
I highly recommend the M416/m100 platform and keep it simple.

Negotiations with wife meant we needed to buy a top up camper that she could stand up in. I would've been happy with something simpler, but the good news is that we got 30 nights in last year. Pretty fair trade off, especially considering how quick and easy setup is, but it's a big heavy combo.
That's pretty cool. Nothing like that would survive the beatings we subjected the M416s to this past week. Anything with a particle board cabinet would be toast.
30 nights is legit. I'd love to camp that much. Summer here makes camping n/a

Truth.
I could put that on the BBT!
As for a trailer update.
My trailer tires did finally do some rubbing on the close fenders but I also had a s*** ton of weight on the trailer with two rows of greenish Hickory and Oak plus all my #eaf gear.
Also when you cut a tailgate into it you may experience some box integrity issues.
Lou and I have had the rear corners spread. This effects the way my tailgate latches. Because of the way my kitchen box fits I can't weld a solid bar across to tighten it up and a skratchet was not strong enough.
I got some slick clips today at Revell Ace and have a ratchet back there that will do the job.
I still prefer the low COG of the tent direct on the rails and with that a tailgate is mandatory.
PMC has not had the problem and Andy's trailer with frame made it where a tailgate is unnecessary

That should fix it! That was the only issue I saw on them other than Lou's little accident.

Those little trailers work very well.
I test to well made gear.

Are m416 wheels 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern?
I found these if I wanted to switch the trailer to a land cruiser or tundra rim. I'm guessing I would probably have to go with the 2 inch because the trailer tires and rims are narrow. I will try to do some measuring tomorrow. Wheel Adapter 5450-5550X Wheel Adapters

They are not 5 on 4.5
5 on 5.5 is what I think they are. I know the Bantam is. Samurai wheels fit for a down size to 15" rims.
