m105 trailer with box, what is it

[maplehillfrm]

Hello all, I just pulled this trailer from back in my storage, I was planning on making it a camper, or a hunting blind, I have too many things going on,, so I was thinking if getting rid of it,, what would I call this type of box. it sits on a regular 105a trailer body,,

value,, is it around 500?? or is that too much to list t for,, thanks,pat

That looks like one of the homemade shelters. Some units made their their own shelters for specific uses. It looks real nice!

thanks.,,.it came from a NJ ,NG unit, I think it was used for maintence dept,, I have seen others with teh same design, so I thought maybe it had a name for it,, maybe the just use the same design patterns? just wanted to be sure I got the correct style, thanks

the regular military one that I have seen were sheet metal but since this one is wood it is probably built by the unit.

hey red beard, it looks like it collapses, but it is one piece, it does not go down, I am thinking they made it that way to shed rain? not sure.
