My idea isn't to make the shelter permanent so I can move it around to find the best position. Right now 110% of my focus is on the trailer rebuild itself and shelter second. It may just come down to keeping this as a normal trailer and using the M720 dolly I picked up for the camper setup.

Clean metal is always nice. The metal on this isn't bad, just some surface rust but still in great shape. As far as the new parts, everything will be replaced other than the original frame. List of items I have bought new, spring hangers, springs, axles, axle flip kit to put spring above axle...

A new 7k deckover is 3k locally. I'll have less than half when I'm done with it and it's exactly the way I want it. The other thing is I built it myself, and there's something to be said about that.

This is before, during and after

It's the trim to dress up wood/laminate flooring. Was my attempt at humor.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the info. Oh and don't forget the quarter round :mrgreen:

What a restoration on that beauty!

10-4, was just wondering. What type of wood. 1x or like a laminate?

My LMTV 3-color camo cover and bows will be up for sale as well. PM me for info.

You have a PM.

You don't need a reason, all you say is I would like to add one of those to my collection. I don't know what to do with half my stuff haha.

Nice looking S-280. Curious about the wood floor. Is it just wood laid over the metal floor or is it built with a wooden floor?

Great find! 100 doll hairs, why not!

I have been working hard at this thing and inally got the A-frame off. Only took about a thousand cut off wheels.

HAHA you and I both. I will say they look bad, but they were a PITA to take off. Whoever welded the trailer welded them on good, and with extra steel. The reason for the length is so the tires won't rub on the wood decking they had. With the frame I'm adding I'll be using normal hangers.

Brought mine home today from Bragg. I pulled it with my F150 ecoboost and the braking was fine. Mine didn't have any issues swaying as I used the method above and put straps on either side and it rode fine at 60-65mph.

Couple pictures as I worked on it this weekend. I took off the old axle hangers, and started on the front A-frame. I got a bunch of parts today in the mail so I can't wait to start using new stuff.

Been a busy weekend. I got all the old axle hangers off and almost finished removing the a-frame. I have called my local metal shop and will pickup 2.5" x 4 box frame. Two 20' pieces will run down the sides underneath the bed that's already there and tie into the new front a-frame. Pretty much...

For what it's worth I've seen a large forklift at Bragg move one that had caged brakes by hooking a chain to the pintle and rolling it around like that.

The problem with the shelter is the fact it has "skids" on the bottom and I was just going to mount it with cables like they do on an LMTV sitting on top of the wood. As of right now the A-frame will be redesigned to extend to the sides and to go further into the main frame. I will also be...
