Do a M109 or S280 shelter on a M756 or M1061 trailer and be done with it. :cool:

Enough room for sleeping, cooking, bathroom, and storage of tools and parts. There's plenty more room for water and waste tanks, and a generator too.

s250 is nice but the one for the m105 is 9ft long and 7ft tall and the s250 is less than 8ft long and about 6ft tall plus the s250 has wheel wells that run the whole lengh and the one for the trailer only has them right where the wheel wells are in the trailer .so it gives you alot more flat floor to play with

i dont think i would make a trailer out of a m109 i would just make a camper out of it and pull my m35a2c down behind it.i would love to get a m109 or even better yet a m820 but funds are limited in this economy and i already have a m105 .and its nice to have a light trailer that way i can pull it behind my dodge if i need to:roll:i think matt1970 had the best set up with the s280 shelter and the life set up he made to be able to take it out the truck once he got there

Yeah Matt's setup for lifting his shelter is pretty cool.


I was lucky to get mine out of the camping area this year without covering it with mud. :)

Whatever you come up with let us all know because I might do the same with one of my 105s.

While I was in the Army we always used M105 as campers/parts room/sleeping arrangements with some plywood nothing special. As a mechanic it did its job and we would always leave the canvas on them to keep the commanders from making it a point that we shouldn’t have any special privileges. We used to put rear doors on them to keep people from steeling our spare parts or TMs.
