Does anybody have any experience with moving a S250 shelter with Transporter Airmobile Model 4003 Mobilizer? I have downloaded TM 55-1740-201-13 and 23P. I am correct that there is a kit needed to be installed on the shelter for this to work? Anybody have any pictures?

From the TM: " Purpose: The mobilizer is used to transport an electronic equipment shelter used to house a working system, and has a maximum payload capacity of 4000 pounds. It is designed for highway operation. A shelter adapter kit is used to provide attachment points on the shelter for mounting the mobilizer.

Attachment to Shelter: Position rear trailer dolly at door end of the shelter and front trailer dolly at other end of shelter, then proceed as follows:
(a) Align spades on mobilizer with shelter brackets. (b) Insert mobilizer spades into sockets, align locking pin holes. (c) Insert locking pins through aligned holes. Repeat this procedure at all four attachment points on the shelter. (d) Pump each dolly to raised position. (e) Lock strut in position. (f) Install tie cable assemblies, connecting front and rear dollies, tighten nuts with pump handle."

This is all I can find out about actually using this thing. No pictures or diagrams.

The 4003 is very weak , this happen with an empty Air Mobile shelter and it is much smaller and lighter than a S250.
For some reason the picture didn't come through on tapatalk and I am just now seeing it on my desktop. Is that the only shelter the 4003 is disigned to carry? Seems pretty useless if that is the case. What are those called?

I forgot the pic too start with , opps. Yes that is the only shelter it is made to carry as far as I know. As far as I know it's called a " Air Mobile Shelter". And it's small about 4' wide 3' tall and 8' long , both side open up like a bat wing and then you hang a tent around it.
