What kind of truck are you thinking of mounting the shelter on?

Welcome DLP48. I am looking for a shelter too and have a thread about it you should check out.

Good luck. I think the s250 would hang over the tailgate of your truck.

Ummm... what truck are you talking about DLP? so I can move this to the right forum....
Welcome,
In Arkron, Ohio, Sam Winer has a bunch of S250's advertised for at least a year or so for around $850. I looked at them last year and most were in good usable condition. I have a tray mount for the S250 that fits in my M1037 HMMWV...I do not know the dimensions currently but it is BIG!

The S-250 was made for the M37, I believe and then has been adapted over the years for whatever truck was in current use and basically fits an 8' bed with a little room to spare. Saturn Surplus had some that still had a lot of gear in them and there were some good pics on their website as well.

The S-318 shelter is in the neighborhood of 6' long. Would fit fine in a shortbed fullsize. I can put the 318 and my transfer tank in my 8' bed truck and almost closw the tailgate.

For what it is worth, there must be twenty or more of these shelters on GL at Eglin AFB but you have to buy two of them at a time. I would love to have one but could not use two. The trip from where I live is a long one. Anybody else in Florida interested in these? I put each of the lots on my "watch list" but wonder what they will go for when the smoke clears! What do they weigh?

I put my s-250 in the back of my 06 F-250 super cab short bed.I dont have a tail gate on the truck so the box sticks about flush with the tail lights. Air bags work wonders for keeping the truck level.
