Good Morning folks I will try to keep this as simple and non-rambling as I can. I have a S280C/G Multiplexer communications Shelter and I am converting it into a camper with the goal of making it nice inside but to retain as much of the original look as possible. I have talked to Rick Larsen about stencils for this unit but I need to come up with pictures of what I want, do you guys know of any source for pics of these shelters with the original markings on it that I can provide to Rick so he can make the stencils for MY 280? Any suggestions would sure be appreciated!
Thanks very much
KK

Karl, The TM for this shelter is TM 10-5411-207-14. If you can locate this it will probably have the info you need.

Just picked up some S280 (Print shop) for use as Radio Repeater shacks. Only stencils ar:

"CARC 3/91" (to left of the door
"LIFT AND TIEDOWN POINT" (frt/rr of shelter at top rings)
"CENTER OF BALANCE LOADED" (all four sides)
"DO NOT FORKLIFT" (yeah right - on all four sides)
