When the hi/low shelter first came out on auction I wanted one, but they were all in the Ohio. After shipping they would be quite expensive. I look forward to your build. Have you seen these hardtops for the M1078 & M1082s - http://www.amtechcorp.com/product.php

2/8/2017 update Here are a few recent photos of the inside with some additional trim installed, and partially completed underneath support brackets that attach the the existing holes in the bed that had the D-rings installed. I also have added spaces in the center of the 2" x 6" steel tubing...

Update to the M1082 camper build Work completed I have actually been doing a lot of work to get it ready for the 26th Arizona Military Vehicle show this weekend, but have not had a chance to post. I will take photos this weekend of the progress I have made. Some of the things that have been...

Yes, The wheel wells are squared inside. I will be trimming them back as you said and building storage boxes. Removable is good, so I can remove them and still pick the box up with a forklift if needed.

M1082 Camper conversion update Here are a few updated photos (before and after outside paint & interior). The next few weeks I will be welding support framework that will bolt to the Bed, and to the underside of the body. The mount will sit in the middle of the trailer and allow the weight of...

Original Photos Here a few before photos of the inside prior to completely removing the cabinets. The front will have a bathroom with shower installed where the AC was previously. The original wiring is amazing in these containers by Wheeled coach. They even offer Lifetime warranty on the...

Interior work Installed the Fiberglass reinforced panel (FRP) of the left side wall this weekend, and added the stove vent, faucet for the sink. Started on installing new switches for the lights, water pump and outside flood lights (which will be aftermarket LEDs). This next weekend will work...

Mark, I only towed it a few miles. one flat ground it was not a problem with the weight, but hills may be different. Still debating on whether I should just remove the heavy bed of the trailer and just set this right down on the frame. It would be at least 16" lower :) Or the other idea is...

Progress on conversion I have made good progress on the interior the last few weeks. First was to remove all the cabinets from the top walls which I will not be using to lower the center of gravity and also open it up for sleeping, seating, and a kitchen. These areas I have already roughed in...

Ambulance body sitting on trailer. The wheel wells will get a cover and be additional storage area and provide access the the underneath of the shelter (This is the basement model :) ). I do need to change out my sway bar bushings, as one is missing and you can see the trailer sway at the top. I...

I will be picking up the Ambulance box this weekend, it is basically the same size as a S-280 shelter. The height is only 2" higher, and width is right at 8 feet. Some very good youtube videos out there on people converting these boxes to RVs. If you compare the box to what is on the CUCV...

The one I am looking at is 7'. That will put the top of the box at 1' higher than the tarp is now. Total height 12'.

Mark, Typically this size comes off a 94--99 E350 Ford Ambulance. I have found a few I am looking at, some the boxes only, and others with the complete truck. The side compartments are done in diamond plate aluminum, and they usually have very large converters, battery boxes, ect. I will take...

Well I am thinking about building a RV shelter on the M-1082. Some of my criteria for this build is not to modify the M-1082 trailer, but just add a shelter. Also the shelter could always be moved to the M-1078 and sit on the same bed. After doing the M-146 a few years ago, I decided this time...
