They aren't meant to be a "work shop" per say. But a mega self propelled tool box w/lathe and weld equipment. The workspace is supposed to be this ridiculous tent set up. A multi person time consuming bear to set up. Black out compliant, no light, no ventilation. I am yet to encounter anybody exposed to this truck WWII through Vietnam that used the tent. Think about it. Taxpayers have been continually paying for something for over 74 years that never worked or seldom if ever used. Clarification: I'm referring to the tent not the truck.

Yes, this is an old thread.

This workshop is more conmanly known as "The Batmobile. In serious Maintenance units, Armor units, Combat Engineer units and the like, this thing is like gold. When ever units were on REFORGER with us, and saw it, the line of customers went around the block. What a great tool.

I have a full machine shop now we do some on-site work from time to time and it's always a pain in the ass trying to load everything in the back of the truck that you think you might need invariably always missing something and then having to call back to the shop and have them make your bushing or whatever mill part you need. This truck will make a nice supplement to my shop. Also just being able to take three phase power with you wherever you go will be really handy
