the 6500 BTU/h unit I have in the M109 box works well (cools it down in 90 degree + weather). If your insulation is better than the fiberglass the military used, you should be fine.

Thats a good question because a deuce ww converted to road tractor is what I plan on pulling this with.I really like those trailers and look forward to following this project. Can a deuce tractor pull that trailer okay?

I've considered the same combination, except using a TOW DOLLY behind a standard Deuce. The only significant drawback to this would be backing up with the double-jointed hitching.Hey JD. Yes, the trailers were designed for the deuce. They ride on 9x20 tires. In fact hooked to a 5T the trailer sets kinda low in the arse, but you hardly know it's there. Weight is just over 7K.
I also thought of this as an option,but the combined weight of the deuce bed and the tow dolly would be between 3-4k lbs(i think),this might slow the rig down a bit,i hope I can get at least 50mph out of her.I've considered the same combination, except using a TOW DOLLY behind a standard Deuce.

Any other thoughts on this approach?
Good point!I also thought of this as an option,but the combined weight of the deuce bed and the tow dolly would be between 3-4k lbs(i think),this might slow the rig down a bit,i hope I can get at least 50mph out of her.
It would be nice to have the extra cargo capacity with the deuce bed. Hill climbing will be a whole other issue with eather scenario.Good point!
Being in the "flat lands" out here in west Texas I forget about hillclimbing and such.
Something I've always wondered is the legality of dollies.I've considered the same combination, except using a TOW DOLLY behind a standard Deuce. The only significant drawback to this would be backing up with the double-jointed hitching.

Ray, I once had an M275A2 (Kenny's old deuce tractor) that I used to haul around an M313 and the it drove down the highway doing 50-54 MPH without a problem. Hills did slow it down, but not too badly. I am sure you'll be fine with the M35A2 conversion to a road tractor. Great job!I also thought of this as an option,but the combined weight of the deuce bed and the tow dolly would be between 3-4k lbs(i think),this might slow the rig down a bit,i hope I can get at least 50mph out of her.
