Camper-Style 1966 Johnson M416 Trailer

This 1966 Johnson military trailer was purchased by the current owner in 2020 and subsequently modified as an off-road camper. The work involved modifying the suspension and installing a Road Armor cargo rack, cargo rails, a Cascadia rooftop tent, a Front Runner awning, a rolling tongue jack, a Lock N Roll articulating hitch, an equipment box, and 17″ Method Race alloy wheels. The trailer wears a white finish with a black chassis and fenders, and additional equipment includes a cargo compartment with a power-operated lid, a portable shower, a folding table, telescoping stabilizer jacks, and RotopaX fuel and water containers. This modified Johnson trailer is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with build records, camping accessories, a cover, and a clean Texas title that lists the vehicle as a Johnson M41.

The steel body was repainted white under prior ownership and is fitted with black fenders. Equipment includes a removable Road Armor cargo rack, Front Runner cargo rails, a removable side table, Luci inflatable solar-powered lanterns, an LED work light, a fire extinguisher, a shovel, a Fiskars axe, RotopaX fuel and water containers, and a RinseKit heated portable shower. The locking tongue-mounted gear box houses a 12-volt battery and a switch for controlling the main cargo compartment lid.

Bronze-finished 17″ Method Race alloy wheels are secured over spacers and are mounted with 285/70 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires, while a 265/70 Bridgestone spare is secured to the underside of the cargo rack via a cable and winch mechanism. The chassis rides on replacement leaf springs and Rancho shocks, and the setup provides 14.5″ of axle ground clearance. Additional equipment includes telescoping rear stabilizer jacks, a Lock N Roll articulating hitch, a rolling tongue jack, and a handbrake. The wheel bearings were repacked in 2023 according to the selling dealer.

The cargo compartment measures approximately 75″ long, 52″ wide, and 21″ deep, and it has power-operated actuators that raise and lower the hinged lid. A rubber mat lines the floor, and the rear wall comprises a tailgate that folds down and is supported by chains.

The Cascadia Vehicle Tents rooftop fold-out tent is designed to accommodate two people and features a nylon shell, a rigid base, a tubular aluminum interior frame, privacy screens, a rain fly, a foam pad, and a telescoping ladder. A Front Runner awning with two support poles is mounted to the cargo rack and can be deployed over the curb side of the trailer.
