Thank you for the update guys, do you know the exact part numbers that were used for the OME conversion? Did you use the HD leaf?

Anyone actually have success with this? My stock springs have gone flat so they need to be replaced now. I don't want to go too soft which is a fear of mine.

I have a 19 gallon tank. When supporting 2 adults, one 18 month old, and one 12lb dog for a 4 day weekend camping trip on the trail, we didn't even use half of it. I would think that around 20 gallons is a good amount. Even if you assume a gallon per person per day, you have about 7 to 10 days...

I went through the same debate. . I said...Roof Rack and Rooftop Tent or Trailer with Rooftop Tent mounted to it... . I went back and forth for a while and it came down to this. . For one or two people? I'd go with a roof rack and RTT ontop of the vehicle. I can fit more than enough gear to...

Crossed the border up north and into Canada for 4 days of primitive camping/exploration with wife, 18 month old, and dog.

This would be my plan of modification for both the front and rear gas struts. However, Adventure Trailers has their lid-strut mount slightly offcenter. I was planning on going dead center. Any ideas on positives/negatives on this? Don't want to drill more than once, haha! . I am really hoping...

I see what you are saying about the direction and angle. When I look at an Adventure Trailers Chaser, they have a different angle. . I guess the real question is for those who have an AT Chaser. Is the lid easy to open for your wife with the strut installed the way they do? I can modify mine to...

Don't want them on the inside as they will interfere with cargo. . The weight rating of the struts is more than adequate. Which is why opened only slightly(4") and it becomes very easy as the angle increases. I think that the angle while closed is too horizontal and the strut doesn't provide any...

Hey guys, looking for some input on how to make this lid easier to lift. - My wife cannot open the lid at all when shut with the weight of the larger Rooftop Tent installed. I can lift it, but it even takes quite a bit of effort from me to open it as well. - Once it is open about 4" up, it...

Septu, . I haven't had a space issue yet. That is already loaded with almost everything I'd need. There are 3 folding chairs, a rollup camping table, Portable Heater, Tri-Folding Toilet, the fridge itself, a very large/sturdy pop-up canopy(not one of those small lightweight ones), several...

As promised, I have completed the mounting and am uploading pictures! . Installing the fridge mount. Bolted through floor/crossmembers with bolts/washers. I also cut out an exercise mat to add additional padding beneath the fridge. Taped the wires running from the power source to the fridge. ...

Secondary concern... Does the guy on the Yahoo Group have his trailer modified with extra weight and an RTT on top? I can imagine if we went too soft by accident due to weight differences between our trailers and his, we could cause the trailer to be very wobbly with people in the tent and lean...

Excellent news! If his setup was a little too soft, then I am willing to bet the CS013FA heavier duty leaf pack you found would be just right. The install doesn't look as straightforward though.... I am curious based on his description... Can't we just reuse the stock shackles? Unbolt the...

Well, I may be the guinea pig on this one, haha! Problem is with the big trip coming up, I can't afford many mistakes. Add in that I am more of a bolt-on modifier than a fabricator. :-( I found an older post with the username "Overland" that stated he removed 2 of the smaller leafs. He wasn't...

Hello everyone! . I purchased my M101CDN from a fellow Expo member here and have since converted it to a Spring Over Axle setup with 35s. The trailer height is now perfect and gives great clearance for getting over rocks while crawling with the trailer in tow! . I do have one issue though. The...

I'm going to create a new thread for the suspension discussion so that way it is easier for other people to find if they do a search in the future. Austin, For the fridge mount, I see you used a slide to actually place the fridge on. I was going to skip the slide mount and simply put a...

Do you know anyone who has done the swap to the OME suzuki samurai leafs for confirmation? I would think they would be perfect. I can imagine, just as you said, that they would provide a much better ride than even removing a leaf from the military pack.

Thanks for the response! Planning a big trip coming up utilizing the trailer for a good 4 to 6 weeks so long as everything works out. I think I will locate it in the rear of the trailer like you had pictured, maybe I'll be able to re-use some of the holes. With the Spring Over Axle conversion...

On the tongue I have a battery, fuel, and 19gal water tank. So I am trying to minimize weight forward of the axle. So with this concern I was considering placing in the rear of the trailer tub. However, what you mention about the range of motion leading to worse "shaking" in the rear of the...

Hey guys, looking for some ideas or what others have done. For space and power considerations I want to mount the fridge in my M101CDN. I bought the ARB Tie Downs and am thinking of just putting bolts through the floor of the trailer where I want the fridge mounted and using the straps to keep...
