    Need advice on a M105a2 frame and wheels

    I have a M105a2 frame with a s788 shelter mounted on top. My concern is that the wheels on the trailer are too close together and will cause a rollover. I need to get more space in-between the wheels of the trailer. I have considered flipping the rims on the trailer, as well as making them duals...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    The APU10KW-5E is the only model number I have seen listed on it. Dan, they used to be made by keco in OH, now its DRS. That is the older single phase type, the newer one is 3 phase 120/208. NSN:2815015277234 There is one on epay and another listed on a lot of equipment sites. just google...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    That's the one. The plugs are almost the side of a coffee mug in diameter. How long is it and would you be interested in maybe parting with it?

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    So I discovered yesterday that the correct generator for this shelter is not MEP-903, but it looks identical to one. Its called a APU10KW-5E. They look identical but this generator is made for only 1 output type, 3 phase 120/208. Even the control panels look very close but are not. This...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    That's awesome! I'm still in a little bit of shock about how complete this thing is. Obviously no sensitive items but the hardware and wiring all looks complete. Do you have any insight into how the generator interfaces with the power distribution box and the rest of the utility part or the...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    So here is a little update on the project. I mounted the shelter to the trailer frame (with straps for the moment), and wired the shelter to connect to a 4 lug 30 amp twist lock civilian generator. I had planned to use my brother-in-laws 5kw generator for this to just test it out. But I found...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Thank you all for the information. I have added photos of part of the wiring schematic for the MEP-903 as well as how the wires are labeled in the shelter. I also have photos of the power entrance/distribution box (bolted to the front/roof of the tunnel) and the inverter? box (bolted to the...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    So after a little more research I think I have it figured out. But this how the original MEP-903 was wired into the shelter. L3-Blue wire to L3 post but bridged to connect with L0 post L2-Red wire to L2 post L1-Black wire to L1 post L0 (neutral) to L0 post but bridged to connect to L3 post...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    I have attached labels for the wiring of this shelter to the generator that it had at one point. They are: L0(neutral)-white L1-Black L2-Red L3-Blue Ground-Green Now I understand that the MEP-903 is a single phase 3 wire generator, which means that there should not be a L3. Combine this...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Can someone explain to me how the mep 903 is a single phase 3 wire generator but has connections for L1, L2, L3, neutural and a ground? And how would I set any other generator up to work instead of the 903 since I can't find one below $3000

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Well.........I really should read more before I jump. The MEP-903C that would have come in this shelter is a single phase 3 wire generator. aua Which means that using my MEP-017a that I bought just got more complicated.

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Thanks for the info! I went back and looked over the wires on the shelter end last night briefly. I have 5 wires actually, Lo, L1, L2, L3 and another with a green tape on it (I would assume the ground). I also have 2 black wires heavy gauge wires that were connected to the MEP903 for remote...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Hi! Oddly enough I was a combat engineer prior to being commissioned as an ordnance officer. And I have an engineering degree. Just not electrical, lol. I do still have the cover. And I keep it covered when not in use. I'm still going through the generator and getting it ready for use. I just...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Hi everyone, I recently purchased a S-788 shortened shelter from GL. When I got it it was missing the MEP-903 generator that it should have had in the tunnel. My plans are to mount this shelter on a M105 frame I have and repower it with a smaller MEP-017a generator to be able to run the A/C...

    I would be interested in the generator depending upon price.

    S-788 shelter

    Here is my exact one. I brought it home today. 600 lbs. My current plans are to build this into an expedition trailer mounted on to a m101 trailer frame. What I want to do first is to take a generator and hook it up and check out the electrical side of it. Then I need to get the AC system...

    S-788 shelter

    That shows the full length s788. The shorted on doesn't stick out the back like that. It stops at the tailgate. With the tailgate being removed.

    S-788 shelter

    From what I can see it just mounts in the bed and bolts to the fender. its a S-788 shelter that was designed shorter so it doesn't overhang the rear of the truck and leaves the tail lights in place. For the normal S-788 shelters I believe there is a mounting area under the rear of it for the...
