During Desert Storm, my unit had one that carried a single 600 gallon fuel pod for the MOGAS. It was normally towed by the TPU carrying the DF2. Since then they are now a one fuel Army of JP8.
Engineer units had them to tow, I think special ammo charges or reloads for MICLIC's.
And the previously mentioned laundry trailer.
And they also had ones with twin gen sets I think in the twin 60kw and above range.
Also don't forget they had a 7.5 ton version out there.
They could also be equipped with a rubber band track.

The 600 GPH ROWPUs used that trailer also.
MICLIC's are cool to see them fire off the trailer.

I had two of the laundry trailers in the past year. They are big and heavy, and even heavier with the laundry gear on it. I wouldn't recommend towing one with a deuce for very long. They are really meant for 5-tons.
This video is really cool...it shows detailed loading and maybe 8-10 shots.

No sir. While the trailers share many parts, the ROWPU trailer is distinct. The most notable difference is that the M1061 has a completely flat deck, while the ROWPU trailer has raised wheel openings. Here is the first image of the deck from the parts manual:
I believe the ROWPU trailer is an integral part of the ROWPU and thus shares the NSN (and parts list) of the pump.View attachment ROWPU TRAILER PARTS TM10-4610-215-24P.pdf
