M416 Trailer Build

27lbs heavier than the old one. The trailer is squatting because I didnt have the ladder bolted on and the cover and bottom enclosure were sitting inside the door. The latter is meant to support some of the weight of the overhang, so that the trailer or vehicle doesn't sag to one side. I mounted the ladder last night, this ladder feels like I could use it as a land bridge for the jeep.
They offered the enclosure right after you bought yours. This is actually a different brand than yours and my old one. They have fixed a few of the issues from the early models now. We will be in edisto the weekend of March 13-14.
This one also came with the enclosed room below. I'm not sure that I will be able to use it like its planned to be used, but it could make a cool separate tent for the kids when she is older.
this shows a good pic of the ladder until I get a pic of mine.

the new tent is so much wider, that I was worried I may be able to tip the trailer back if we all got on the left side of the tent. So I added a removable landing leg to the right rear of the trailer, which is at the center of the tent. This should keep us safe from tipping. Its totally removable and adjustable for height.
The soldiers converted bantam T3s to civilian trailers after the war using angle iron, I plan to copy their diagram for the tailgate. I cant find the diagram now, but it looks like this when you are finished.
