What did you do with your trailer this weekend? (1 Viewer)

[JeepinPete]

The last couple weekends I've been busy de-militarizing/repairing my M1102 trailer. Removed the lunette/surge brake assembly and installed a 2" ball hitch. Replaced all of the marker lights since the factory units were corroded beyond saving. Chased lighting issues with the tail lights, which turned out to be a ground. Replaced the hydraulic drum brakes with electric brakes. I'm in the home stretch now, just need to complete the new wiring.

And got it finished up yesterday. Hopefully I won't have to touch it for a few years

Got it out, set it up for the kids to play in. New camper for me, so still figuring it all out.

Winter is almost here, so probability wont have it back up til April.

hey guys I've been looking out for one of these, a VenturCraft TrailBlazer mini trailer. Several of the guys here in our AZ club, Copper State Cruisers, have them. Do any of you guys outside our club have any experience with them? Anybody know of one in your area that might be for sale? thanks in advance

They're pretty rare. Copper State Cruisers has the highest concentration of them that I've seen anywhere. I'd go as far as to say that they have most of the total production. I only know of 3 others besides ours not in their collective, and one of those may be imaginary.

In the past my advice to those wanting and not finding one was to build something like it using the MOAB tent, but I think those are out of production as well.

After tripping over them for the last 6 or 7 years, the giant Cruisin' Off Road-built fenders are finally getting mounted on my 101. 35s with no lift.

With a ton of help from @Greg_B we made a bunch of progress over the last couple of weeks.
Took the fenders back off, knocked off the surface rust, primed, and painted.

Stripped out all the seam sealer, scraped away at the rust.

Wiped the tub down with brake clean, sanded and scuffed, wiped down with final wipe solvent, 2 coats of Rust Bullet in every seam and anywhere that looked remotely problematic

Sikaflex all seams

Money shot

Lots more to do but these were big steps for sure.

was a couple weeks ago but drove from saskatoon to wilson arizona to see the grand canyon and many great places in between. 7000km round trip and towed the cdn m101 with gear. the trip was awesome

[franklin40]

and once we got back i decided it’s time to repaint it so i can keep it going strong for many years

 

[VORSHEER Traile]

@franklin40 is that Sedona, Arizona or farther north in Utah?

 

[franklin40]

we didn’t make it quite to sedona. williams was as far as we went south. which picture exactly are you asking about. these were from yellowstone through idaho, utah and into arizona.

The first two pictures in post #110. There is a panoramic view and then a valley with steep cliffs on both sides.

 

[franklin40]

the panoramic is just south of the east entrance to zion national park (kanab). the valley with vertical cliffs is zion. such a beautiful park

Love you set up! I have been dreaming about adventure trailers, but I'm 6'4" so it seems like a tough balance between getting the RTT/awning up high enough to make for usable space underneath while also not sacrificing the low profile while on the road. Can you tell me a little more about your lift set up? It looks ideal. Is this assisted at all with gas struts, etc? Thanks!
