Looks Awesome Doc !! I have a AN/TSM-211 that looks almost Identical to that. I wonder what the differences are ?

I took mine to the GA Rally last year....divided it in half and use the front for a hooch...rear is for trade goods. The insulation makes it easy to heat with a small ceramic elec heater.

Last year WoodyWood pulled it for me...this year I have the new M915.

You need to bring it down to the GA Rally this year...they can keep each other company.

Doc,
Congrats on the trailer! I was just led to this thread by someone else's reference to the M190.

Dianna and I recently brought home our 1960 vintage 220KAK trailer made by the KINGHAM Trailer Co. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/75607-new-trailer-220kak-1960-vintage-26-box-van.html

Who made your M190? When?

They look very similar with the LOW profile. Ours is Tandem Axle and only 16' long. I'd llike to compare notes.

Thanks.
John

Saw the trailer at SW Bradley's compound this summer. Doc's has the side door on the right, walls and roof are double walled aluminum with the insulation built in. Paint looked like it had just came out of the booth.

Nice trailer, That tandem axle tractor makes it look small.
why the single axle? Is it light?
A nice single axle tractor would look right at home.

I think it would look better behind a two axle tractor

I wonder how a bobed duece tractor would work?

I wonder how a bobed duece tractor would work?

I pulled mine home with my M275 deuce tractor (80 mile trip).....the small multi-fuel just doesn't have the umph to pull it on anything except flat ground.

I think a bobber with big tires and the LDS engine might be a good prime mover but it would still be slow.

The M915 don't even know it's back there......although I have toyed with the idea of bobbing a M915 and putting an air ride axle (with higher gear ratio) on it. You have to have a tractor with a slidding 5th wheel and you have to remove the mudflaps or they will get snagged when you turn sharp.

That tandem axle tractor makes it look small.
why the single axle? Is it light?

Most of those vans were electronic or communications vans......I have three of them and they are all configured differently. They were not designed to haul general cargo and the small rear doors make loading and unloading stuff difficult. You can remove the center post between them to load big items but it is a PITA.

They have tandem axle versions but they are very heavy...I bought one at Fort Campbell and pulled it home with my first M915. It was a long slow trip back through the hill country.

It now resides at the scrapper who is using it for storage.
