New Shelters

[Recovry4x4]

New to me anyways. Due to a crappy listing, a friend and I just ended up with these 2 shelters. One is an S280 and the other is unknown but the same size and appears to have the lugs for a mobilizer dolly. While they look a little rough as are, the price made them a very attractive purchase. Both will end up as residences at the FL Rally. Thanks to my friend Wayne Harris for pointing them out to me!

Just gotta print FEMA across the sides.

That 2nd one looks like some of the first shelters that were used back in the 1950s. I'm not sure if it was called a S-280 at the time, but the setup is similar.

Reminds me of what the bulldog said when he backed into the barbed wire "rough, rough, rough".

 

[Bad_Carp]

As long as they are structually sound, who cares if they start out looking a little rough? Just makes the finished product look all that more amazing right?

 

[Recovry4x4]

At $208 for the pair, I'm not complaining. They are only 40 miles from the rally site too. The wrecker will continue to earn it's keep at the R4x4 AO.

Great score!

You gonna put them next to each other and have a doublewide?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Nope, these are going to be seperate residences with substanial distance between them.

You guys down there in the southeast get all the cool toys, I WANNA S-280 SHELTER!!

 

[phil2968]

"wweek", are you developing a typing stutter Kenny?

 

[CARNAC]

Great score. So if I get an opportunity for two at $600 a piece of the newer version with mounting lugs, would I be stupid for taking the deal or not taking the deal.

I couldn't tell from the pic, but the first one looks like the side is a seperate piece.
The reason I notice this is because I have an s280 where the side is made from two
panels that are hinged to fold down and form a floor.

The 2nd one won't work! The door opens the wrong way! You might as well just give it to me!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Phil, the stutter is from typing on a tablet. Puter is broken.
Carnac, that price sounds pretty attractive.
Bruce, it might be an expandible shelter,I just don't know.
All in all I'm quite happy with the purchase. Mine might just go to the rally site and I can work on it there. My partner in this sale is having them delivered right to the site.

 

[Ripcord01]

Nice, Great price as well.
