The M269/270 have both connectors. Also has the standard king pin which is incompatible with the M920, but I think you know that already.

Everyone has a m270 and I never find one.. get picks of it. Like to see how one looks on a 920.

NDT going to use a 2 to 3.5 adapter to run it home . So your saying the M270 can be 12v or 24 V ?

Jdgreen, I bought it from a SS member Jwaller. Going to pick it up next weekend. Ill take some pictures. It wont look like a M270 for long. Going to add ramps and maybe a short beaver ( I need to find out what the law is on the length I can get away with ) and use it to haul my equipment. Was on Fort Meade on Friday and Saw 2 really nice setups the first was a 900 series like a M925 but instead of a bed it had a 5th wheel and it had a M270 attached to it . It had Tags that said US Government. The second rig was what looked to be a F850 with 6 doors and a extended cab with what looked to be either a flatbed or a rollback bed on it ! It was SWEET !!

Every 12T M270 I ever saw was straight 24v lights. However, units in the field were known to add a 12 volt circut ala M127. What is yours ?

Also the floor is 40' lon g plus the gooseneck out front so it is really a 48' trailer out of the box. Max length for one unit is 53' I believe.

Well I have 2 e mails from him, 1 saying 24v but the 1 today says 12V so lets go with that . Also after talking to Soni I may have to remove my ramps and relocate my 5th wheel more to the rear. He say on a M915 there is about a foot more room than on a M920.

My M270 came with 12 volt and 24 volt electrical systems.
