Trying to replace all the missing items from the shelter door.
Door itself is straight and seals are great, just parts missing.
Pics online do not show much of the doors. Especially inside view

Could you guys please post pics of the inside and outside or your shelter door?

S-280 model only please.

Thanks

You might get a small fan powered off of a small solar panel to exaust the air.
I think someone else here did that with good results.

I haven't noticed mine sweating on the inside like that. I agree a small fan would help, mine is sitting right beside the shop so I could power it up and just use the stock exhaust fan.

Looking at the pics, I can't help but notice how many different ways they are set up. Seems almost no two S-280 shelters are exactly the same. Mine has two small fans in the front (one blows out and the other blows in), big air conditioner hole in the left side, and power connection on the back left near the top. It was set up to be a electronics repair shelter.

mine doesn't have the exhaust fans in it ..there is only two covered large spots in the front where the a/c units went ..maybe that's why ..as this box seems to be sealed for the most part good ..when i close the door with the floor plug in it fights me and you can hear the air whistle out around door as it closes ..i think that may be part of the issue ..thanks

I've been leaving my floor plug out but I guess I should at least install it loosely to keep mice and such out. Mine isn't all that tight, only thing that seals the exhaust fans is a aluminum weather flap.

You might just stick a piece of screen in the hole. That way you get more air flow and
water still gets out easily. Just an idea.

Tinstar, do you still need pics? I don't think my S280 is the standard type,
so I don't think it would help much. What specifically are you looking for?

Yes more pics please.
Looking for parts I'm missing and using pics for reference.

I dont think any S-280 is standard.
Never seen two exactly alike.
