Just got on this forum. I have a restoration thread on our M Systems on the Repairing Yesterdays Trailers forum but it looks like the forum isn't up to date.
A little bit about us. My wife and I built a Midget Trailer back in 2004 from plans published in the Feb/Mar 1940 issues of Popular Mechanics magazine. Still have it! We then picked up a 1948 Airstream Liner a few years later which was in need of a full restoration. We tore it down to the frame and started rebuilding it when the economy and job issues started. Needless to say, after 4 jobs and 2 relocations, it was used as a flatbed trailer for moving. Still have it too. Picked up a 1973 Scotsman and did a full rebuild down to the frame. Used it for a while and then sold it. We then found an M Systems trailer which someone just wanted off their property. We think it is a 1949 model. It has some 1948 features but lacks some from 1950. We are working on it now. Oh.... and we built a 5x8 woody teardrop which is currently up for sale.
We do have a new trailer we use for trips and outings. Love to visit Harvest Hosts locations and we are Boondockers Welcome Hosts.
I plan to continue the breadloaf thread on this forum so stay tuned.
