    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    Wreckerman893 I like the idea of using metal siding on this tent but I like the way it looks so much that I'll use the canvas that came with it until the sun wears it down or a hurricane blows it off. I flipped through the TM last night and it looks like I will really need to see each part...

    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    This afternoon I got energetic and unloaded the crate from the trailer and opened it to see what I had. I am really impressed with what I see so far and I know it was worth all the trouble and expense to obtain this thing. The electrical panel alone is just so cool! The first bag I removed...

    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    Good idea Walter and I will probably open the box and do just that. I saw somewhere that it takes six soldiers to move the canvas; fortunately I do have a floor crane so the heavy items like that will not be too much of a problem. I'll probably load most everything into my deuce for storage...

    Thanks Ian! Glad you didn't bid on the tents because I know you would have won them all! Still contemplating where to put it and it is still on the trailer.

    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    I can't discuss prices because that would reveal my bidder number. They all went for under $3K. Considering that Uncle Sam paid over $16K for each of these I think I did well. If you try to get anything comparable in the civilian world the quality would come nowhere near what these are made of...

    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    These things are big; 24 feet wide, 32 feet long and 15 feet high. It can easily accomodate a deuce or two cars side by side and it also has lighting and electrical outlets too. Well worth bidding on! I was lucky to have gotten one of the fifteen that were in the GL event. One person won five...

    lightweight Shelter Maintenence Tent

    Just got back from Eglin with my 1744 pound crate with the tent inside. I'll post photos of the crate which Faye says looks like the box out of "Creep Show". I was really happy when I saw the box was "intact" with the original banding still in place. Somebody got the one that they had to open...
