****** M100 trailers had two stowage boxes. A small one inside the front
wall with a hinged cover for the manual.

****** A cable storage box on the front wall, left of centre. Two "L" shaped
strips of metal are sport welded to the front wall of the trailer, and then
bolted (?) to the box. These boxes are often damaged or more often are
missing. The US made M100 trailer had a separate cable to connect the jeep
lighting to the trailer lighting. The M100CDN (Canadian version) has the
cable permanently attached to the trailer, but was still made with the
stowage box.
