You have a trailer that is built with an axle so wide to run specific wheels/tires on that axle. Most to all trailer wheels have a 'zero' offset, meaning the mounting surface is 1/2 the width of the wheel.
To add, any height gained by tire difference will be see in tongue height.

To get an idea of your topper camper, check out Weiscraft campers. They have one with a 'topper' of sorts and call it Roghneck.

For those front stabilizers, look into an inner sleeve that is pinned to the bottom of the outer shaft. The outer shaft would go up/down through the crank process, but you can drop the inner sleeve (base on bottom) so that you're not cranking the 2'. I have an equipment trailer set that way for...
I actually bought one at auction years ago to have some kind of enclosed trailer. Its all steel. The box is not sheetmetal but thicker sheets. It is a bit heavy in comparison to a similarly sized enclosed trailer. I sold it due to the weight consideration.
After reading up on issues, starting particular, for the CUCVs on another military specific forum, I've come to the conclusion the starting issue is the glow plug circuit, specifically, the relay resistor. The 24v resistor for the relay is still connected for a 24v system. The batteries are in...

Thanks. Much appreciated.
It had 6" of snow on it. Was told it last ran in early October (hard to believe). Batts are in parallel and not series. It doesn't start, but does crank great for 10 or so seconds. I do have trickle charger on them and get a strong crank that...
