Funny, I have been looking for the CAD design as well, anybody ever make or find this?

I am on the same path as you but I am going through GovPlanet/Auction to purchase mine. I don't mind if it has some hickups because I will be doing a complete frame off restoration. My Newbie opinion is that you should not buy a LMTV at auction if you aren't mechanically sound with some...

Thats what I was wondering, good point. Ill stay away from, those..

GovPlanet question: When a year is not listed for the LMTV is there away to use the info from the plate to decipher the year? It shows the VSN number and Serial number but no mfg date and GovPlanet did not put the date of the LMTV on the listing.

I think I settled on building the camper out of 2x2 quarter wall aluminum for the frame and 14 or 16 gauge sheet metal to skin it with. I will weld the frame together. I do not want to rivet or screw the skin onto the frame. I want a clean smooth surface to paint. I found this stuff on line: VHB...

That would be pretty cool to walk around and check them out... I also am figuring out the odometers doesn't mean anything. Saw one tonight that is a 1998 with 1 mile on it. lol.... Kind of a bummer though, would be nice to know. Also looking at removing the spare tire and put it on the back of...

Good points, I think I will just keep waiting for one to pop up closer to me. I am hoping to get 2002 or newer. It looks like GovPlanet rotates these things on a 3 week rotation, meaning they put an LMTV on for 3 weeks and auction it off then that same location will put more of them on for...

It's been back to the drawing board this weekend. Scanning the lower 48 and Hawaii (which has many) for LMTV's on GovPlanet. Couple Questions: - What are the chances of finding one on GovPlanet with AC? I've seen the AC kits that you can purchase but just curious if they auction them off with AC...

Will do, good point, didn't think of that. Thank you.

No, did not win the bid.. I was in a meeting and bidding at the same time on GovPlanet and it ended up selling for $5,500.. Good price! Trying to stay on top of a quick auction and participating in a meeting is difficult. Bummer but I am moving on. Back to stalking GovPlanet again.... This is...

Thank you for the welcome. I live South of Seattle near Tacoma. BELOW I am going to create 2 sections for my research - PARTS & IDEAS FOR CAMPER & PARTS & IDEAS FOR LMTV. As I do my research for things I want to do or upgrade I will be placing them here, should get updated frequently: PARTS &...

So I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler I built with a 5.7 Hemi and a M416 Trailer with a telescoping rack for my tent. I did all the fabrication , painting myself, learned a lot. It has been good to us but now I think I have the bug for the M1078 LMTV. Been looking at all the conversion camper videos...
