Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

[DutchmanZ]

I bought a cover out of a M105 bed on marketplace. The guy didn’t have the sides or bows so it was just folded up in the bed. When I got home and tried it, it’s too large by about a foot on each dimension. Anybody have an idea what it might fit before I cut it up to make it fit?

Generator trailer cover. (I think)

That’s possible. The larger ones I’ve seen have zippers but I have limited experience with them. I wondered if it was even for a trailer.

No markings? Part Numbers?

The only marking I saw were “Forward” on the inside front panel and “Aft” on the rear. Of course I saw that after I installed it backward.

M35A2 cover??
Mobil kitchen cover?


Looks too big for a generator cover, Evan a dual setup.

I don’t leave my bows in the M35 since they are wood but I want to install them today and see. I think it’s too small for it. It doesn't have any windows in the end panels either. I know the Mobil kitchens like the MKT series have a permanent roof panel and separate sides. Wish it had a number on it.

Forward and aft ? Some kind of watercraft?

I took it back off the truck and inspected it again. No other markings that I could find. I measured the top length at 137” from front seem to back. The sides were 66” tall. It’s definitely too small the the M35. It’s not in great shape so unless it’s something rare, I’ll probably cut it down to fit.

Looks like gen set up on the m103 flat bed. Those don't have sides and use long specific staves but normal m101/105 bows. I do not know the p/u # for the set up.

Those are not too common and probably worth more than m105 covers.
On the m116 gen set flat beds ,the covers are rare.

That makes the most amount of sense. The width is pretty close but spacing out the bows further would make it fit. It’s not an option for the 105 bed obviously but on a flatbed, sure. I may just look for another cover that fits and save this one for later.

If I’m not mistaken the m103 generator trailer covers would have the wheel well cut out on the sides, not a flat edge.

Your not kidding
Been hunting one for quite a while now.

Does this cover look like what you were searching for? There are no straps or buckles like I’ve seen on gen trailers.

Can you post a picture of the back end? maybe also with the tailgate down? Kinda looks like a ROWPU cover.

No
It is a lot different
I’ve seen pictures of the M116 genset covers and yours is not it.

I didn’t get one before I removed it. I can unroll it and take one on the ground or try to put it back on when the weather is better.

I think you are correct so back to the mystery?

Take 2, maybe it is a m105 cover but the staves on the truck have been shortened?
