Measurements?

[LonT]

I can't find two measurements I need for design purposes and I was hoping one of you could run outside with a tape to get them for me.

1st: M109 distance between the front of the box and the back of the exhaust.

2nd: M35/M36 height of the ribs that support the bed AND total height from the underside of the bed to the bottom of the frame.

This is for a fully self contained Toy Hauler RV that can easily be switched from one truck to another. These measurements will go a long way in determining the feasibility of the project.

I'll try and get the m109 measurement tomorrow when I run out to mine.

Thanks theeDIZ.

Ok I got 49" from the box to the tip of the exhaust.

Thanks brother. The unofficial measurement using pictures and known measurements was 48-50 inches. Not enough to put a full size bed up there and I was hoping for a queen. Looks like I'll have to modify the exhaust if I want anything more than a twin.

Anyone out there who can get the M35 bed measurements?

That is so much better than I could have hoped. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Where did you find this info, if you don't mind giving up your source, so I can be a little more self sufficient.

Where did you find this info...

... just from playing with old Deuces (and tape-measures...), for a couple years...


Oh, and you are self-sufficient already: you are on SteelSoldiers (!) - with free access to most likely more info than what you will ever need!
And if you can't find it in our library, just ask away...

Whats about a subframe with ISO locks? Like the sea containers?

They'll put it on for me when I pick it up. After some time with a grinder and welder I'll have to slide it forward five feet and I was just going to use a couple 2x4s with bolts in one end.

I'm still in awe. Ten inches for the bed and another eight for the frame. Add another six to that for the box and you're up to 24...TWO FEET. Yep, this is looking feasible while keeping propane behind strong steel guards WITHOUT adding unnecessary weight.
