Right, that I know. I have 4 of them. But the shelters that I've seen, 280 sized one, don't seem to have mounts inside or out. When it's in the bed there's no room to put a ladder anywhere. I can't believe that they wanted people climbing up the tailgate step to get in and out.
Must have had a...
That's funny, he couldn't find on docs on it either. It is a sister shelter though, same sat up, same data plates, etc.
But I'm more interested in the general shelter carrying set-up, deuce + shelter = where the heck does the ladder go?
It's marked as an S448. Measures out a bit smaller that an S280, by inches. I've searched for TM's on it and can't even find a reference to it.
So yes, I'm talking about when the bed is full of shelter and there's no other room for things (like all my ammo boxes of necessities ;) )
I know that...
I've wondered about this loads over the last few years, and now that I have a shelter hanging out in the bed I really have been head scratching.
Was there a standard way of mounting the ladder when the bed is filled w/ a shelter. Did it just get transported on the floor of the shelter? Doesn't...
Mounting permanently would be too easy, I'll have to do something difficult 8)
If I had it mounted perm, then I would lose the workability of the trailer, . . . and I would have one heavy base for the shelter.
The plan is to fab some lifting legs and be able to stand it on & off as needed. That...
Right after all that I had a course that I wanted to take over in the `Zona. So I threw some camping gear in the shelter took off for a quick trip, 2 days going, 3 days there, 2 days coming back :)
Now that I had all my crap in the shelter, and wasn't in a hurry to get it out, It was time to...
Removal Time
I pulled the power unit out (as you can see from the last post) and started w/ the foam.
It didn't take me long to relies that my little paint scraper wasn't going to do the trick. Spent 20 mins w/ it and a hammer to take of a small section :-/ After thinking about what would...
I've been searching for shackles for the M796 Bolster trailer. I haven't been able to find any and don't know if I want to use some civy version. It says it the TM that there are 14 of these shackles. After counting out the set up, I'm thinking that the ones they use for the safety chains are...
The one thing that I was a bit concerned about w/ living inside a shelter was the lack of windows.
I knew that I could cut some out, frame them in, get the right size windows, etc. :-/
The first time I was inside of this one, while everything was closed, I knew it wouldn't be long before I...
Ok, having that same issue, even after rebooting. I can give a bit more info this time.
What seems to be the case is that the some of the "buttons" don't seem to be active. I've noticed it in the photo manager (there it's the "insert inline"), and I've had it in the editing post field (the...
Finely found a shelter to use as the live-in box on this trailer. Hauled it back to base camp and started the removal of anything left in it.
The shelter it self is in decent shape (only minor fork damage ;) ). The inside still had some of the electrical interface, comm's interface, some...
