    Got myself a new toy trailer (M1101, I need a canopy if anyone know where to get one

    Hi Guys,

    I just hauled a new trailer today from Nellis AFB to my yard.
    I love it, build strong, looks brand new, nothing is missing but the canopy.
    I somehow got it with a canopy of another trailer and it doesn't fit.
    I wonder if anyone know where to get one (or might have one)?

    I still need to get it titled, change the bulbs from 24V to 12V and get an adapter from 15 pin NATO hookup to 7 pins civilian.
    To my surprise all the signal lights around the trailer are LED and not bulbs (I hope they work on 12V), only the main "Light/brake lights" in the back are actual bulbs.

    I'm not sure if the brakes system will work with 12V, I hope it will or that would be a headache to convert.

    Here are few pics of a great trailer with the wrong canopy.

    12 to 24 volt dc/dc converters are easy to find and install. 2 wires in 2 wires out.

    Look up Memphis Equipment, they deal in military surplus vehicles and parts.

    Look for a shop that makes tops for boats. They will be able to make you most any type of canopy you are looking for.
