I know of a "Lightweight Shelter" for sale in the Sacramento area. Aluminum, insulated I believe, this one originally for a Radio Teletypewriter Set AN/GRC-46A. Stripped inside. Just the thing for making a Camp Plymouth camper out of a pickup or maybe a M101 trailer. I want to offer it to folks on this forum before putting on FB or some other place.
I believe these were designed for trucks like M37, M880, M1028. Or put it on a HMMWV M998, more or less turning it into a shelter carrier like M1037, M1042, M1097, M1123 although I think these came with the larger S250 shelter. Data plate says this is 74" long x 57" wide x 61" high. Owner said the width at the bottom is 45", and cutout for wheel wells is 15" high by 6" wide.
Owner got it with a property they bought and now has to make it go away. They have done some e-research and thought it was a S250. I said no but I know little about shelters. My guess is it could be had for $500. So let's use that as the price for now. It can be loaded by four men if the data plate weight is correct.
If interested please email me for their contact info rather than PM.
