clothing repair insert for M101 trailer

[maddawg308]

While at Coleman's today, in the back lot, there are a bunch of "clothing repair" trailer inserts, most are stacked up like cordwood but a couple were dropped into M101 trailers. They were rectangular inserts that had plenty of doors and storage compartments, you open them up and there are sewing machines and wooden benches in there for working on clothing repair. I thought they might be good, retasked as camping trailers with all the sewing machines and tables removed.

I did not take any pics of them this time, anyone else know what I am talking about? Anyone own one of these setups that has reused it for something else?

Are you sure they aren't for a M105? I've never seen a M101 one. What are they asking? I prolly need one......

I had bid on some on GL. I know what you are talking about. I agree with Jim, I think I would want one too, but thought they are for the 105s.

They looked big, but I could've sworn I saw one sitting in the bed of a M101 there at the yard. I'll get some pics next time, and maybe measurements....

I found a manual on them SPV34 or SPV35. They look like they're pretty big.
The only picture I could find had one mounted in a 105

Care to post for the masses, so everyone knows what we're referring to?

Is that what you saw?

If so, they look nice. I could think of a few different uses for them.

Looks like it! Thanks,

Now I'm going to need one. I don't know for what but I'm sure I can find something to do with it.

John Tennis has one. I know of one for sale with no gear but its $1500.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nothing in it for 1500!??? Cha-right...

I went and saw them at the yard again and I was wrong - it was sitting in a M105 trailer, just the tires were flat so the trailer looked lower to the ground and hence my confusion.

I took a picture but the picture came out all wonky on my camera phone. I'm gonna wait until later this year to inspect it better, where they are in the yard is really overgrown by brambles and weeds and I can't get close to them without getting impaled.

Is all the gear inside them?
