I believe that there is not enough space in between the wheel wells for the M353 trailer to hold the S-250 as the braces that support the wheel fenders are in the way. I was looking to mount a S-788-G & it was too wide for the M-353, the M-1102 & the M-105a2. The M-1102 was too short in length &...

I picked up 3 stainless steel drums @ work that they threw away & use two of them for diesel storage along with 3 truck fuel tanks & a 60 gallon genset fuel tank on a trailer. That should keep me supplied thru whatever nature throws @ me. The stainless steel won't rust & is thick enough to...

A spare tank in your military truck is movable & can be inspected for leaks easily. It is also easy to drive to the local fueling station & refill. Here in North Florida, all underground tanks were removed & the gas stations have to have doublewall tanks & inspections systems in place. If you...

I stay out of Gainesville except for work or grocery shopping, too many "woke" individuals, panhandlers & drivers on the cell phones. Ring Power has a good group of folks who should be able to direct your son to like minded people & organizations he is seeking.

Saturday was pickup attempt 2 for the Gichner S-788-G shelter & it fit on the A/M34K-4a perfectly. I did have to remove the bolted on tie downs on the corners & put 2"x 8" runners down the center & outside of the trailer deck to space the shelter off the deck since there is a small bolted on...

I was back @ the Lake Butler site morning picking up a S-788 shelter that would not fit in my trailer last week. There was a different young man that I have never dealt with manning the lot, I forgot his name, but we got the shelter loaded with zero damage & I was back home before noon. This...

The guys @ the Lake Butler GP site are very helpful & good with their jobs of storing & performing loadouts of auctioned equipment. Delwyn & his Dad, Larry are two more guys @ this site that have been very helpful to me for scheduling & setting up the loadouts. A big shout out for both of them too!

Well, I discovered that a Gichner S-788 - G will not fit in a M-1102 or a M-105a2 after trying to load it with a forklift. Proves the old adage that you measure twice & it fits, rather than you try twice & it still won't fit. It seems that I really don't know what I think I do sometimes. Well...

You were worried for nothing on that buy & recovery. It may have a few small issues, but it is still a great score. Congratulations on it all the way, auction pictures were poor compared to what you posted. My deal is not working as well as the lift hydraulics blew a cylinder while I was...

I saw the scale, but it was not manned @ the time, so I never even thought of weighing the truck. The placards on the S-280 stated that the gross weight was under 1800 lbs, but I do not think that is correct. The normal weight carried in the truck for military shows & camping is 2000lbs & this...

The entire trip consisted of no issues with traffic either on the highways or the interstate. The traffic on the highways was able to pass me whenever they wanted to, so no blockage there. The interstate had 3 lanes on each side, so everybody just blew past me with no problems. The locals in...

I have had good luck with Gov Planet so far, not to be bragging. My latest score was a Gichner S-280 mobile truck shop out of Albany. It is an excellant shape item missing only the CPU & the HVAC items that are taken out of all the shops during demil. The paint, walls, floors & electrical...

The trip was on the Florida & Georgia highways & interstate I-75 @ constant speeds of 45-50 mph due to that is as fast as she likes to go with stock 9:00 x 20 tires & standard gears. I have a complete set of 11:00 x 20 mounted new tires that I haven't take the time to install.

Speaking of seating for the Deuce, I parked my rear end in my '87 Air Force Deuce from 05:00 yesterday morning till 16:00 in the afternoon running a recovery operation of a Gichner-280 mobile shop from Albany, Ga. back to my home. That was a 350 mile trip that the Deuce performed flawlessly the...

I had to change out a front tire that was wearing badly on the outside tread & James came along with his 1" Milwaukee impact wrench & made it look so easy to do. The last two lug nuts were broken loose with his 3/4" drive Milwaukee impact wrench just to see if it would & it was just as good as...

I am going to start unloading all the camping gear, crates of Deuce cover systems, & everything else out of my tan Deuce in anticipation on going to Albany, Ga next week & picking up a S-280 truck shop system. This will be the first trip outta Florida into Georgia since I bought the truck &...

The second picture is what I am looking @ adding HVAC to after getting it home. The other two units here @ home have their own HVAC units in place.

My terminology screw up, wall cover for the removed HVAC unit. Some came with them & most came without; not the electrical power plug which is there. I have spare military HVAC units.

Hot Darn, I finally got one for a good price in the shape I wanted. It is a Gichner S-280 complete inside, missing the A/C unit as they all are. Now if James has gotten over his trip to Virginia, I might have a great way to get this shop home to Florida. They ranged from $600.00 stripped...
