I like the table/bed thingy. I honestly didn't look too much at the shelter to look for a plate. It's dark now, but I'll look in the AM for it.

Actually curiosity got the better of me. Went out there and looked at it, but all the placards are painted over. I'll have to put a tape measure on it to figure out what it is.

The 318 was a little cramped but very doable as a shelter.

Oh yeah, it's gonna be cramped. Like I said, I could lay down on the shelf and my feet and head are touching the ends. But I like to lay on a side and draw my legs up honestly. If I had a "bed" like you did and AC, I could sleep in it no problem.

Finally got out there with a tape measure. You were right Kenny, it's a S-318. Not a S-250.

OK, not the end of the world. If you do seek and find an S250, Wheelspinner is shopping for a 318.

Or you could just come by the compound and buy a nice M185A3 already converted to a camper with all the comforts of home!

Not really looking for another vehicle. I ended up selling my M750. I think this shelter/trailer combo will work just fine. Although a S-250 would be nice for a little more room. Maybe next year I'll pick up a smaller van trailer and deck it out.

M119 would be a good quasi toy hauler, they have full width back doors. Enough room for the sammy and your gear. Drop bunks would complete the ensemble.

Just to get the facts, I think I see 3/4" plywood with angle iron on the ledges to hold it in place? What's holding the table up against the wall in table mode? Can the table be stored completely upright?

The piece of plywood on the front wall is hinged to the wall and to the table top. There were already gripzerts in the wall so I used those in conjunction with thumbscrews to secure it upright. There is a catch on the bottom of the table to hold the leg up. It can be swung up to the ceiling but I had to used a strap and footmans loops to hold it there. Correct on the angle iron. Was basic with what I had on hand.
