I would be but the guy building it wasn't. He was more concerned about space. 50 gallons of fuel and the tanks etc is likely around 425#.

This project has sat idle since shortly after the pics were taken. The guy building it is looking for an S250 to secure directly to the frame. To answer your question, the transfer tank sits on mounts up in the front of the topper. If you look at pics of the front of the topper, you will see...

There was just a little fabbing. The tube to crank it up was custom. Mike used a piece of 3/4" DOM and welded a bolt in the end to crank it. He matched the bolt to the lug size.

Try to find a hoist off of a 3/4 ton if you can. The hook that attaches to the rim is bigger for the larger center hole.

Don't be jealous, a friend of mine got me that NOS for a pittance. I owe him! Thanks Jim.

Here are 2 shots of the spare tire tucked underneath. I'm waiting on a side shot but it looks like it belongs there. The tire hoist was off of a mid 90s Chevy truck and was a $7 junk yard purchase.

Not my build, I'm just the press guy. It's Sherwin Williams Genesis

A few more of the topper. Note in the previous post, there is a spare tire hoist. The spare will be under the trailer. In the front you can see where the filler is so that the transfer tank can be filled from outside. Also a pic of the transfer tank, frame and battery to operate same.

SO several years ago I ended up with a super useful M101A3. From that point on, the M101A1 was largely ignored. I even went as far as to install a steel topper off of a pickup truck and use it for storage. After a while I got tired of seeing it (as usually happens) and hitched up and hauled...
