I have a FSN 9340-240-62 How do I get a NSN? This is for a M54A2 TM 9-2320-211-34P

Crude drawing. Red is insulation pad under strut and sitting on top of ceiling.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137906-S-280-camper-build&highlight= The shelters consist of horizontal "U" beams in the roof. Picture a "c" channel on its back with its legs pointing up, then weld some flat iron strips to the top of the legs that stick out to the sides but not...

Yep, then you will need the center support for sure.

With respect to the center roller, remember you are not dealing with a point load in the middle. The shelter frame is distributing the load over the span. I am not an engineer so no guarantees here.

The 'O' ring on the back of the filter mount that accomodates a sensor for the Diag system is prone to failing and leaking in air to the filter. There are a lot of threads on this issue.

http://www.dotfasteners.com/index.html I used the ones with two holes and mounted them with SS flat head screws and nylocks. I made a jig to drill the holes so that they lined up. Check to see if you need the short or tall turnbuttons.

The only problem I see, is the wear and tear on the skids as they get dragged across the truck bed once the shelter lands on the bed. So far, the only solution I have come up with so far is a full length roller on the leading edge of the shelter that extends down a little past the bottom...

I would check all the glow plugs first, before worrying too much. If the truck is new to you, then I would just replace all the glow plugs with AC60Gs just to keep from visiting that problem in the future. Even if that doesn't turn out to be the current problem. Check the CUCV stickies for...

Stock M1008 with 35" tires (minor lift). Always no faster than 55 as indicated by the speedometer, which is probably actually about 60 due to the tires.

You mean that there are people on SS that own non MV vehicles? OMG

Am I missing something, but shouldn't he have 12 v to the lights. If he has a bad ground, is it possible to end up with 24 v to the lights? Just trying to stay on track.

Any wear and tear on the skids as they drag across the truck bed? How heavy is your shelter? Thanks!

Any idea how difficult it would be to mount my spare under the front of the bed on an M54A2, or if even possible?

This is another pic of the system. Note, I only have one of these shelters, so I can't do what they originally did, but I think I can eventually make something work.

My S280 is 13 feet long and my 5 ton bed is 14 feet, so it is going to be a trick to keep my 12x20 spare in the regular slot without extending the shelter over the end, and I really don't want to do that. I take it that your shelter is a lot shorter. I have a unique situation as my shelter has...

Ty, where are you going to mount your spare tire when the shelter is in the bed?

Ok you guys, now you have me over thinking this whole thing. So here's my other idea. Before putting the aluminum sheet on, use some good spray adheasive or roll on type and glue some high R value rigid foam sheets to the top after properly preping the surface of the shelter. Then afix the...

For the roof, if you have a second sheet, you might devise a way to mount the second sheet an inch or two above the first, but eliminate the sides. The idea being like a shade tarp. I don't know how dificult it would be to make, but I suspect it would really get rid of a lot of heat. I got the...
