Group photo and a KS / OK et al meet up would be fun, count me in. Willing to help out on a recovery, I have tools and equipment too. Call anytime, I'm ready. Pete

Glen, Always a joy to read your recovery exploits..... you get it done.... Pete

good idea on solving the problem of getting in and out of the van while the trailer is hooked....

Duncan and Florin, Not only a great adventure but great geography and history lessons thrown in too, thanks for sharing.

Good work...

The front window location was used and a cage built around the AC unit to hold extra gear.... No cutting of the support structure was done, found an AC unit that fit the opening and had enough cooling capacity. Pics here...

We mounted a Honda 2000 watt inverter type generator between the front bumper and fender. Pictures at: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/63405-m109a3-college-students-community.html

I would suggest adding a CO detector in the living area. With a generator close by, carbon monoxide can rise up and into the living area via a open window, crack, etc. We added one near the ceiling in the M109A3 for peace of mind when cooking inside or running the generator. "if you smell an...

power system Hi, The power system is always big issue. For now we have a larger genset in the trailer that we remote because of sound and cable it in. We need about 3500 watts with the AC and all the radios going. The old switching panel is shown in a picture when we were thinking about using...

More photos; This is how it looks today :D except the operator position. Thanks for letting us share...

More photos; More build pictures...

Thought I would share about a M109A3 camper / radio shack build which I hope some will find it interesting in how it was accomplished. But first I want to say thanks to this site and its members, for it is an outstanding go to source of information one needs to know in preserving a...

there is an informal group that meets nightly on 3996 USB and most of the check ins are on mil radios, but all types are welcome. Look for them between 02:30 - 03:30 Z when the freq becomes available....

Will be there but the M109 is staying home .....Hope to meet some of you.

:ditto:

I would agree with derf, but change the wording when talking to the inspector to follow the definition in Article 100 (2005 code book) AUTOMATIC or NONAUTOMATIC for a transfer switch.

I am using the same AC unit and have been happy with the performance. Black roof and radio gear makes it work full time but an extra circulating fan helps. I'll leave my MREs packed away and come over and eat with you! ;) Like the paint job on the floor.

I can make it either weekend, sounds like fun.

Did someone say ham radio in a M109A3? :) I like the M109A3 threads, plenty of ideas to think about doing.

The Gunbarrel highway in Australia would be a hoot, 1400 KM of driving challenges. I also put the miles on my MV, a M109 (1500 miles longest trip so far) and enjoy adventure travel. I am looking to the MV Al-Can highway trip next year as a possible item on my to do list...:-D Maybe some of the...
