I looked at the faded data plate and it was made in 1995 and it appears to say "Lift and Go" across the top. Goggle was no joy for the phrase. Many people make these now and I think they run about $5K. Mine also came with another pin for the big 10 ton size 5th wheel. Here's a simpler civi one...
I would stay away from the expandable not only because of the weight but also they are steel as opposed to aluminum and the roofs rust and they leak. the other trailer to consider is an electronics van like the one i bring to aberdeen. they are aluminum and many have hvac. there are single phase...
If anyone has infomation as to how the bar is tooked to the towed vehicle on this rig, i would be interested due to the similarity of my 5th wheel wrecker boom.

No, I have not. Winslow has one and there was one more at the auction. The SS member who owns this:

Kenny, I'm not sure who made it. It looks different than the ones pictured in PS mag for the M915s. Winslow still has the one from Bruce but I have not...
I've noticed the big garden tractor batteries are $20 and the smaller motorcycle batts can run $50. It would be easier to be able to stay in the original battery dimensions so that they will stay inside the quiet pack.

....and then there's, well.....New Jersey to travel in. looks like a nice truck. the run flatens out past maryland. i'd go right up the turnpike, but it's been a few years.

RE: Re: VA 5 ton
The head guy there is well.....an idiot. Most of the GSA stuff there has been there for years and is only now being auctioned because he got in trouble and some contractors are cleaning up the system there. He lost his keys and did not tell anyone. Some temporary emploiees...
It was very frustrating to answer alot of questions back when I sold trucks for a living. One can't always tell who are the dreamers and who are real buyers. My wife used to say I should change my number to 1-900-armytrucks so I could charge for all the times people called me for FREE...
