[QUOTE=Gary Crouch;2551558]built it over a couple three months..

Gary,
Did you build the top for your trailer? It's an M101A correct? Do you have a build thread for your trailer? I'm thinking about the exact same build, but I have to admit the trailer tops have me mentally challenged.

Thanks,

BrianH.

All you need is a 3 g certifcation class at a college. It will pay off at the end.
Hadn't thought about the college/cert class. Didn't realize such things were offered. Thanks for the tip.

Yes a community college will offer a course.

Default Tips? Leads? Pop Up

I am having the hardest time locating a pop up trailer. I am really interested in the Fleetwood Evolution E3. I have also looked at the Forest River Banshee and the Jayco Baja. It will be my first camper so I'm not looking to spend over 10K. I am finding that most of these companies have discontinued production so used is probably my best route. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions as to where/what I should look for? I would be interested in new models but they don't seem to exist, especially under 10K.

This campsite was located at a Maine State Park on Moosehead Lake north of Greenville, Maine. Hard to sleep at night with all the loons calling out to each other. Great problem to have!

Roof racks for kayaks and bikes. Wired for a battery, inverter, 120VAC 30A. LED lights. Super fantastic vent fan. Doubles as a utility trailer. Back door ramp to be able to load large stuff like lawn mower. Four tie downs inside. 5'x8' aluminum floor. 4' inside height. Works perfect for the two of us. We just wanted hard sides, low maintenance, trailer easily with the two door or four door (light and small frontal area), and a dry comfortable place to sleep. I did a 4" lift on it. Microlite trailers is the manufacturer. Cargolite is the model.
