i just started my search so i will find one but depends on how far away and the price. they dont seem to b easy to find

 

[davey8943]

I haven't seen one for sale... But then, I haven't ever really looked for one either ( I have sort of assumed they are awful spendy...)

Good luck with your search, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!

Why not a civi dolly, paint it od

 

[groundog]

some guys use a m-200 trailer and add a fifth wheel

 

[Tlauden]

Ive often wondered if a civi one would work?? just change the electrical plugs your good to go right?

EDIT: would this setup be considered a tandem trailer setup??

 

[one eye]

i want to be correct and the six lug m35 wheels all can interchange. my other half is on board with this turning a m146 into rv so i am goin with it the cost will be ok. but i am also realy cheap

The M146 + M197 is a worthy combination for an RV-MV.

If one where to "drop into my lap" I would be "one happy camper".

I've located the trailer, but won't approach the owner until I have a Dolly to tow it home. (local recovery).

QUESTION...

Are the brakes air-over-hydraulic like the Deuce, or are we looking at actual air-brakes on these trailers and dollies?

Thanks

yah i got a good deal on the m146 but can not recover it til i have a dolly. the guy is a friend of mine so no rush. it has no mold and the wood is in great shape so a good base for a rv for the family and me

Thank you.

I'll have to chech that trailer I've spotted.

ONE other thought, IF you go the dolly/trailer route, you need to install the "AIR BRAKE CONTROL" lever like the tractors have, yoiu will be surprised how much you use this, with out, you stand the chance of having your trailer try to pass you, even more so with a 4 wheel trailer (dolly, trailer, 2 pivot points)

SECO in Augusta GA had them a while back. The M200 is an attractive alternative and has the same wheels and tires as a deuce. armyman30yearsplus built a nice one. Actually I think its the one in the pic you posted.
Edit, confirmed that, the pic you posted of the 146 backed up to a rail car is actually an M200 coverted to a dolly by armyman30yearsplus.

Dolly

I have a military dolly available. I have put commercial tires/wheels on it.

that looks like a m198 5ton dolly. i am givin some thought to the m200 made into a dolly just lookin to c what i can get. the trailer seperate brake control can be a life saver.

 

[one eye]

yes i got that pic off of ss

 

[muddog]

Would building a tow dolly be a issue with the DOT. I have everything to build my own dolly but have'nt started yet as I have an M818. Just wanted a backup in case I needed it, or somebody else needed to use it.

There was one on ebay about a month ago that sold for $375 down in AZ, thought that was reasonable.
