S250 Recovery Today

M101A3 Trailer Bed

I believe the M101A3 trailer bed measures approximately 55" between the wheel-wells. ...it is definitely wider than the A1 or A2 versions. That is why you can load 4'x8' sheets of plywood in it. It should also accomodate the S-250 shelter as well...!

By the way, the distance between the wheel wells inside the M101A2 trailer bed is about 45". The comm shelter requires a bit over 48". I do not believe they will fit in the M101A3 either, and you can't trim that one down due to the larger tires.

I sit corrected.

fits on an M390C if you can find one. Comes with a built in boarding
ladder and three pods that tuck up underneath, which can be swiveled out and
turned down so you can level the platform. The s-250 fits and there is even
enough for a back porch.

I have some of the connectors that plug into the shelter - you would need your own cord and campground plug. Take a picture of the shelter's connector. Just about every shelter configuration seems to have a different power connector--- 2 pin, 4 pin, and 5 pin. They also changed connector suppliers from time to time as well, just to keep it all interesting. Crouse-hinz, Pyle-national, Amphenol, Cinch, Hubbell, Bendix --- they all supplied connectors. Once we identify what you have to work with, I can see what I have in the drawer.

Sorry for not posting pics yet. Been hectic last couple of weeks. Picked up shelter last Wednesday. Then needed something to put it in so had a m105 recovery this last Saturday in ok city. This OD fever is getting bad. But sad to say when we got back Saturday with the trailer we found ou five year old basset hound " Mystery" in a bad way and had to take her to the vet Monday to have her put down. So got the shelter sitting in the trailer, and the trailer hooked up to the deuce. Man them m105's are a pain in the but to back up with the deuce. Photos soon to come. We miss you "Mystery".

Sorry for your loss - I've been there. When I lost my last dog, I never wanted to have another dog --- but when my son dropped a 3# puppy in my lap, about all you can do is scratch his ears. We now have 2 dogs, they are cousins, and we have as much fun as they do when they play - chase each other, bite ears, chew on tails, both pile into the same doggy bed for a morning nap, argue over who gets which dog toy. Life is better with a dog, MUCH better.

Thanks 135gmc for the concern. We have another basset hound "baby girl". She's filling the void left bye mystery. I'm trying to fight the urge to get another hound.

Sorry to hear about your pup.

Thanks tip.

I'm in the same situation, however I found out that the pups learn, work, play better when there are two.

I have finally had a chance to post some pictures of my S250 Recovery/ M105a2 trailer. The S250 is missing some data plates, so the year is unknown. The trailer is a 1987 Kasel M105a2.

My shelter has a rubber compound on the roof, is that some sort of roof sealant?
