The interior is in great shape! I love the wood and for being built in 1970... It's quality work. Everything works well.

I like it, now I would like to see it in person. I've been thinking about something similiar for a while now, my current trailer isn't real off road friendly.

Thanks man! It's nice to have for those multiple day trips. I might sell it down the road for the right price, but for now I'm loving it! It does quite well off and on road.

Well, I have been thinking about something like that, with a couple of tents for the kids, then we could expand the areas we want to camp. Not necessarily the same unit, but I love the design. I guess I am goig to need to start watchign the sales to find something that would work, then I can finally put the old pop up trailer frame to use with a new axle.

Few weeks ago, there was a Fiberglass Alaskan Camper on ksl for $600.

Where in Utah do you live bro? I plan on hooking up and taking it in to get the wheel wells redone when I get back. Maybe I could drop by?

I mentioned before about the stock leveling jack in the rear of the M101a2 trailer. It sure helps a lot and comes in handy!

I live out in Grantsville, so it usually isn't easy to meet with people. Ask Iceman, he comes into my town once in a while but I can never seem to get together with him. I thought about doing the M102a trailer, but I have an old pop up that is shot and I have been thinking about using my 12 bolt that is coming out of the Blazer to beef it up for clearance then figuring out what I will do for a camper.

It would be fun to go down in your area for a few days and explore your trails Pm me your name and number so we can make plans

What is the mechanism like that lifts the upper portion of the camper? When its convenient, would it be possible to get a picture of that?

Thanks.

Hydraulic pump that raises 4 rods inside the camper. On the outside it follows a metal track. It takes only 30 seconds to lift it up and BAMB! Camp is set in 30 seconds

Thank you sir....thought that bottle jack was for changing a tire when I saw it earlier in the thread.......lol.

Yea I'm glad it's not electrical. The manual crank is great! It also has 4 safety pins that can be put in the rods incase of any failures. Never used them but they ate there

I also have a Cobra 29 CB radio I'm going to put in next month. Since I can't sell it, I'm gonna make some use out of it.

Also wanna put a Flag mount on the back. I'm thinking of flying the Yellow "Don't tread on me" flag
