I'm glad you mentioned that, I'll post a close up on the door switches, as I'd like to rewire them.
Here it is rotated and close up, I'm not certain but looks as though it would work as an AC or DC switch.
The wiring in mine was so neatly done I didn't want to modify it much. However, I noticed all the breakers are 400 Hz, so it's all been coming out. I'll keep the panels and switches (I love switches), add at least one 15 amp 120vac input for accessories, with a 2nd dedicated 15a for a 5000 btu...
Yours looks awesome inside, well done.
I purchased mine before I put much thought into use (buy first - think it out later), the use tends to find me. Right now it's stored on my HMMWV and I'm leaning towards removing all the 3 phase cabling and rewiring for 120v, while keeping the 28vdc...
Awesome, thanks. That makes sense as a week prior to buying the S-250 I bought an S-280 shelter with Fort Huachuca printed on the side. Both came out of Yermo, CA.
Seeing your photo inspires me to fabricate something for a TV and Cellular antenna. The truck looks awesome.
I'm assuming these were antenna mounts (the big shackles on the side of the S250). Looks like it would have been pretty heavy and somehow re positioned on the swivel seen in the last photo. If anyone comes across what this looked like in the field please post or help me better understand its...
Got all non essential (to me) cables removed and on to the "what did this do" phase.
There's a micro switch on the door but not sure if it is supposed to turn lights on when I open the door or power something when I close it.
There's mounting brackets near the floor and one appears to be for...
Opened the top panel to find a coaxwitch antenna switch. Antenna ports will come in handy for an external cell antenna.
Bottom panel is the 3 phase input with 60 amp service.
I'll likely park this too far from my generator to run 3 phase so DC inverter to 120vac is my first planned...
Thanks, designation undetermined but most likely utilizing as a remote relay station (I live off grid) for my cell service, wifi, etc. Good to know there is a bracket, it's great on the HMMWV, except for ECU location to drivers seat.
A look behind the panels shows promise, will be fairly easy...
Posting photos and progress on my recently acquired S250 shelter.
Here she is about to get loaded on my vehicle. I decided to load door forward so I could quickly transfer shelter from my pickup to humvee.
Smooth ride home, barely noticed the load, but my gas gauge did.
Took about 15...
