Re: Trailers
The line of the trailer looks like a match to the H3. The recovery loop makes it even better with the design line...
Nice choice

Re: Trailers
I pull my kayaks on a modified jet ski trailer, virtually no weight at all.
I want to get one of these:

Re: Trailers
Sorry, I haven't responded quickly.
They are around in different locations. This one was in Un-issued condition and was $1350. Others can be bought cheaper, but might need some more work to bring back to the Original appearance.
I had some small surface rust corrected, mounted the Fuel/Water can backets, and had the entire piece painted back to the OEM color. Then through the OEM contractors, I was able to get replacement parts and the reflective stickers for the body. I also replaced the tires with USGI Non Directional Tread.
It is Canadian. M101 CDN2, 1/4 Ton trailer.
There is a yahoo group for the trailer with lots of info. Also some possible areas that they may be found. Most are still in Canada, but can be found in the US as well.
They were made as a modified heavier duty version of the USGI M416 trailer, for the Jeep. The Candian M101's are for the VW Iltis.
It really does go well with the H3.

Re: Trailers
It's o.k. I mean it's nice to have a base of operations at the dunes, or the beach, or the ORV areas around here. A lot of people pull their trailers up to the trail heads around here and it becomes a little community for the weekend, with the 4x4 and trail bike people running the trails all day and then partying at night. I like the A/C, and the shower/bathroom, and the kitchen, and the sat TV, and the flat screen, and the ps2, and the double bed, and the... you get the ideal. Nice to come back to after a long day of riding the trails and cleaning up, relaxing and catching the ball game with dinner. And, for some reason, women just love it. Go figure? I am trying to decide on one of the tents for the top of the H3 or little off-road trailer (I am digging the arm surplus trailer - would be a cool little restoration project) for longer off-road excursions as sleeping in the back of the H3 doesn't cut it. I have my eye on one of these for that... http://www.loftyshelters.com/IndexFrame.htm ...I don't know, though. A regular old tent would probably do.

Tip: If you use the paper clip(on font bar) you can insert all pics to come up instead of using links to open.

I have one of these that works well for when I go out by myself. Sets up in about 30 seconds. Can buy it in a double wide as well.

Re: Trailers
I went to the airstream sight (no prices) dealer emailed me.
they start at $40,000.
Sweet camper but the new 18 footers I was looking at are about 12k to 15k and they are much lighter
I might get a few year old one for about 7-8k

Re: Trailers
fourfourto,
There is one in Waterbury, CT. I have to get a road trip up there to chech them out.
Also someone I work with told me about Eddie's, at exit 68. Apparantly a lot of small pull behinds to choose from in addition to buses, and Mid sizes.

Re: Trailers
Yeah. The old ones are pretty cool. I was working for a while at this place...
http://www.vintage-vacations.com/pastclients.html
Then, I struck out on my own. Did a few resto's and used the proceeds to buy the Bambi. And since I got the H3 vs. the H2 it has freed up extra cash every month for upgrades to the Bambi.
The link below is a pretty good site for seeing pictures of the inside and out. Yeah, they have a new "narrow body" that is pretty cool. Less money and not as heavy. Although, my H3 pulls mine fine.
http://www.suttonrv.com/database/inventory_new.asp
Yeah, they are expensive. But, they hold their resale and you can keep 'em forever. In my opinion, the Airstreams are a bette deal than most of the white vinyl sided trailers out there. Although, there are some decent ones.
It is a pretty cool project to score a decent older Airstream and refinish yourself.
O.K. This is an H3 forum, so I will stop about the trailers. Thanks.
P.S. I think the fold out tent is pretty cool too.

Re: Trailers
I saw this a month ago or so, it's small but you can sleep in it and trailer kayaks, bikes or an atv ect.... pretty cool. Prolly only a weekend stay tho, it's pretty small for a long camp out.

I don't think it's out yet, they are looking for distributors, but the guy that is making them had an interesting story.
