The M35 with an S-280 is about 12Ft tall outside.
How does the M109 compare?
also, the S-280 gives you abot 6.5FT height, 6.5FT width, and about 12FT length inside. I think the M109 has quite a bit more room.
On bed width vs M109 body width, I'm wondering how that compares. I did not find a transportability manual.
Has anyone put 395R20's on an M109? - woindering also about clearance under the body.
weight? - don't know, but the S-280 is not exactly light either.
lastly, there is one model with a huge lift gate.. that would be interesting to know more about.

The prob with the shelter is no windows.
It is much better insulated than the 109 body but not wired up for shore power like the 109.
The shelter is removable (provided you own a wrecker or know someone who does) so you still have a cargo truck.
Interior wise I think the 109 is bigger.
I have a 109 and I did have a shelter at one time.
If I were to have to choose I would take the deuce and shelter combo since it presents more options.
Before that rat bastage Offy stole my bolster trailer my plan was to put a deuce bed (he stole that too) on it and haul a shelter on it.
Your milage may vary.
I REALLY like the idea of a modular trailer with the same bed mounts as a Deuce. Of course, if you could put a shelter in a Deuce bed on that trailer, you could also just put an M109 box directly on the trailer instead. I've been playing around with the idea of building a really thin flatbed for Mah Deuce that would basically act like a 2" body lift when the M109 box was mounted, but would be a semi-functional flatbed when the box was removed. But in order to make that worth doing, I'd need to mount some BIG lift-jacks at each corner of my box. It would be really nice to be able to drop the box and have a truck to run around with though....
