    Dave, like the ' before you missed a 1 between the $ and the 3.

    FWIW Was driving home to Bris today from Toowoomba. A couple of km on the Bris side of the Gatton bypass near the Ripcord parachute club but on the other (southern) side of the highway is a used machinery yard. In said yard was the trailer off a semi, loaded with several military trailers in camo colours. I only got a chance for a quick glance but they appeared to be displayed for sale...

    I am not sched. to go back for about a week or so but if they're still there, I'll call in and see what gives...

    Talking Got a couple!

    Well I bit the bullet and grabbed 2! Will post some photo's when I get them here, but if you wanna try and have a look on Manheims site they were lots 289 and 291 in the NT Truck and Plant Auction today.

    Will be keeping the nicest one for a mild (read ONLY minimal and reversible modifications) camper trailer conversion. After roadworthy and rego'ing I will be adding a frame and mounting my rooftop tent on, then partioning tub for camping gear and then getting a repro canvas to cover it all and complete. Will aim to keep the overall look as per the RAAF trailer in Mick Marsh's photos below (but just a little taller to enable roof top annex to set up alongside).

    It all prompts a couple of early questions... What is the done thing as far as paint? Should it be left as is or resprayed? Where does one get a Hayman Reese pintle set up like Micks? Has anyone done this type of conversion (nothing came up searching here)? What should I aim at trading the Mrs 100 series on to tow it?!?

    Dave,
    It's easy to get the pintle and mounting hitch thingy.
    They can be bought from a caravan/trailer shop I'm told and they appear on ebay.
    My pintle came from ebay and the mount came from a towbar shop in South Melbourne.
