M1010 Question

[conny]

Hello,
I have been researching the M1010 for possible future purchase. What are the two swing arm "thingies" at the top rear left and right side. Photos show the "arms" are different. Thank you.

Outriiger arms for loading stretcher patents in the upper bunks. And the M1010 only has one and it is switched from side to side by pulling a pin. The right side has a pinch clamp to stow it tight against the rear upper header panel when not in use. Very strong arm suupported by the inner steel structure.

Thank you for the quick response. Here is one of the photos I have with a hanger on the left and right. Do you have a photo of the hanger being used?

 

[cucvrus]

The hanger on the left side is not a stock M1010 hanger. I have never seen one like that before. There may have been an update but I never seen one.

Thank you very much for the information.

Best I could come up with...

Dam...seems like a lot of trouble to get a litter on the top rack. But, if it works, can't complain. Thank you Mad Texan.

Anyone in or near Virginia that owns an M1010 that I could check out? Thank you.

What do you want to check out? I have 4 in my back yard that you can pick at and google all you would like. I 81 Exit 90. That's fairly close.

Mine came from Williamsburg, Virginia but currently is in PA. Not too far from CUCVRUS.

Well, one person who on this board was giving away the interior of his newly acquired M1010 has not gotten back to me. I told him I would strip it out. I figure when it's time for me to buy an M1010, the rear box might be missing parts and his interior would come handy. When I buy, I'm NOT interested in destroying an M1010. The true value is gone when any MV is converted.

I'm interested in checking size, storage ability, comfort and overall livability. Also, adding a tent to attach magnetically on the rear with doors open for additional space. Adding a 30 amp plug inside the heater box to attach a generator for external power and a couple 115v outlets in the lower cabinets for power. All unseen when heater door and cabinet slide are closed. Also checking air conditioner size to change over to air and heater conditioner. Any mods I make will not be seen for shows, parades or special events.
