Phoenix Worldwide F0862-99-ESS-JCS Shelter fit on M1102?

[Gung-Ho Civillian]

Anybody have any experience with these militarized camper top looking shelters?
Specifically, I’d love to know their dimensions and if they would/could fit on an M1102. Seems right by my estimation, but photos are not enough to go on in this case. Thanks for any inputs!

Thanks! It seems like it could be modified to fit within a 1102….

I'm not sure of the internal width of the M1102, but if it's exterior dimensions are the same width as the HMMWV you'd have to either cut out the sides of the trailer at the front, or narrow down the shelter where it fits into the trailer bed.

It might work on one of the LTT chassis that someone removed the generator from easier than modifying it for into the bed of the M1102.
They both have the same chassis, but the LTT is just flatbed/open for the generator)

Thanks. That explains a lot, at least the shapes I’m working with ( I need to sketch it out on paper. I’ll have to get my 25’ tape and do some figuring.

Much appreciated,

yeah. A lot of the shelters that go on the HMMWV fit down where the rear passenger doors would be and take up that space. Some only have the front bulkhead area extend down and then the bottom is the standard filler panel; others like this one fill out the whole area.

Dimension A is probably the most critical- it will either fit inside the trailer, in front of the wheel well, or not.
Dimension B you have, so determine whether or not it will fit ~inside~ the trailer. Measure your trailer carefully. Add a half inch to account for the rivet heads if it's close.
Dimension C might be a deal-breaker. That portion will overhang forward of your trailer and might contact the towing vehicle during tight turns due to the short tongue on the M1101/2 trailers. I suppose it would be easy enough to lop that bit off, but something to consider.

EDIT to add: In that configuration I would also consider the balance- seems like it will be very tongue-heavy.

EDIT to add: Dimension H is also going to be critical, even if you go with the generator trailer that doesn't have front/side walls. If the height there is too short, then the weight of the entire thing will rest on the wheel wells of the trailer.
