Great design, I'll have to save some pics of yours for future reference, so I can build my own set...

Last time I looked at them, the sewing machines were still in them. They were Singer industrial models, all metal and looked pretty robust.

Why is there not much info on them? They were purpose built for a tactical military support purpose, which doesn't really carry over into the civilian world. Noone needs a mobile trailer to repair clothing in the civilian sector, so when the units got surplussed out, most of them got scrapped...

There are a bunch of them at Coleman's Surplus in PA. I might make a run up there next week, I'll take some pics if you want them.... If the meantime, here's a thread on the subject...

Thanks for the input... In place of the sink, I think a good addition would be a dehumidifier, to keep the inside of the shelter nice and dry at all times, when it's in its travels or at home as well. With all the radio and electronic gear I plan to install, keeping the rigs dampness-free...

If you get a M101A1 or the original M101, the wheels on them are 5-lug Power Wagon wheels, while the M1008 pickup uses 8-lug standard rims. I'm not saying you shouldn't get a M101A1, they are great trailers, just if you end up getting one, you will have to carry a spare tire/wheel for the...

That explains why - I never shop there so I don't know what the parking lot resembles. I'm always at Lowe's for hardware. The specialty stuff and fittings I go to Winchester and shop at Solenbergers.

Sorry, no. Should I?

See what happened from all the sleeping around I did with hookers when I was off on vacation? I started franchising. I have my own unit named after me, sniff sniff. I feel all warm inside. Oh wait, that's just gas.

I had one in worse shape last year, it got parted out to those who can use them. Some trucks and trailers aren't in great shape, and the owners just use them for work. Maybe not museum pieces or parade trucks, but they get work done. Bet you wouldn't hesitate to throw 1,500 lbs of firewood...

After looking over matt1970m35's S-280 shelter, and coming up with further ideas, I've had the following thoughts: 1. No sink or water supply. While convenient for me for camping, I suddenly had a horrible thought about water and a sink on one side of the shelter, and high-end high-voltage...

Hittin' the road in about 10 minutes. See you all there!

I doubt the shelter campers will be there for long once the big rigs we drive show up in force and surround them.

Loaner trailer from joediveguy is all strapped down with gimpy's crap, er, I mean, quality merchandise, truck is serviced with an oil change and checked everything related to coolant system (it's had issues recently), ready for 530 miles tomorrow. All I need to do is get my camping gear...

It has rims and tires, but the tires are 40+ years old and don't hold air. They would not survive being towed down the interstate.

joediveguy is coming by tomorrow afternoon with a utility trailer and a cutting torch, so we can start the process of loading gimpy's M101 trailer frame/axle/etc. for the trip out there. Have to remove the scrap body from his frame, then load to the utility trailer, as his trailer frame has no...

Haspin Acres is a big place, but not that big that you'll get lost forever. The main trails are always well-patrolled, and the back areas we only really go out on in groups, so you'll have good company. When I went there in 2010, I had a M37 with me that I picked up on the way there (eBay...

Right, they are on the truck, you can pay me when you see me there.

$30 a set for the 5-ton flaps and the brackets.

Two places I have seen: 1. Under the bench seat on the passenger side. 2. If it didn't have a bench seat (instead had two spring seats), mount would be vertical bolted to the rear of the cab, on the floor, between the two seats.
