    I humbly suggest a stabalizer on all 4 corners. Putting them on the back corners is a must and thn the tongue jack can b used in the front, this works but will wobble. Adding 2 more stabalizers to the front corners really stabalizes th trailer. If your goa is leaving it hooked to the truck I'm not entirely sure how you will get it truly level

    I put some "industrial velcro" on the rear frame (mine had a tailgate) and the top of that stabilizer and it worked fine. It will definitely tip backwards once it's unhooked and you're in the tent. Talk about a rude awakening!

    ya i havent got that far ahead yet lol according to my buddy who also has a m100 its best to leave it on the truck when you are camping it gets pretty tippy even with 4 stabilizers

    Mine came with the trailer that I bought from CVT, they were 250# struts. Without the tent I played hell getting the lid to shut, with the tent it was no big deal. The struts are pretty much straight forward with standard mounts.

    Unfortunately I sold the trailer and went back to a Four Wheel Popup Camper. Give me a bit and I'll find you a link.

    What about a 30mm ammo can? I've got a couple from A-10 ammo buddies. I'm sure you could find some online

    Don't suppose there are any more details on the slide out kitchen?

    I have some 48" slides and have been considered a kitchen slide out on a M416.

    i would like to apologize for the lack of content on either of my threads i have been camping since then but for some reason havent posted any of the pictures in here.

    bit of an update the truck is currently down again the cv boot ripped and threw grease everywhere and the tie rod i think is going out its giving me a lot of noise so for now the truck is parked in the garage until i can buy parts and fix it. if i even want to anymore....

    the trailer hasnt changed its still in the same state that its been in for awhile i need to finish it but finding the time and money anymore i just dont seem to have
