expando van followed me home

[wreckerman893]

I made it up to Redstone today to recover my M195 Expando Trailer.
Murphy must have been preoccupied since I had zero problems with the pick up or the ride back home.
It is a heavy bastage and the little M275 tractor earned it's pay pulling it back.
On one hill I was in Low Range 2nd gear to get it to pull.
Tomorrow I will open it up and see how it looks.
These pics are at the house after I got back...forgot to take the camera.

Looks like it came with a genset and loadbanks in the front. If your interested in parting with a load bank, let me know!

I have seen the canvas sided ones set up in the field...this one has what appears to be metal sides laying across the storage bins....if so it will make a nice hooch for rallys.
I can't wait to get it set up.

Shopset, generator repair. Are you sure it's an M195? I'd bet M447C on an M295 chassis. I see it still has the aluminum panels to enclose it once open. Should have the A/C from hell in it along with 2 60,000 BTU heaters (unless already stripped). No telling what you will find in the boxes. I had an identical trailer and couldn't give it away. Sone feller in Bama bought the chassis. LOL. I think I still have the rear mudflaps for the thing.

nice recovery WM!

i thought you were gonna save up for and 818...

Kenny.......said trailer is still out in the yard awaiting transmorgification into a beavertail lowboy.
I am trying to sell the van to the guy that owns the big offroad park near me....he needs an office for the site and if he will take it I'm going to try to keep the trailer.
Maybe it is a M295...I looked at the tag but CRS is dogging me.
There are some tool kits and misc stuff in there...what looks like a big cable cutter and a long power cord. Most of the drawers I have peeked in are empty.
