First off, I was not exactly sure where to post this, so if I am in the wrong category please pardon the error.
I have begun to look at shelters that will fit a regular truck bed. I have "inherited" an F-250 with a long bed but have eventual plans to acquire a CUCV.
I am becoming familiar with the different shelters and it seems the S-250 would be the most common and easy to find.
In searching threads I have heard mention of the S-280 in regards to pickups, but from what I have read the S-280 is basically a box... kind of like a 20ft container... and is designed to sit in the bed of a deuce. Is this correct or have I read something incorrect?
Secondly, I was looking on gov liquidation at different shelters, and saw some that were obviously S-250 shelters. There were also some that looked like S-250 shelters (from all I know) but the listing said that the exterior length was 110 inches instead of 86 inches. Is this just a different version or a different unit all together?
The longer shelter seemed interesting because with the long bed on my current truck the 110" would offer more room if I were to use it as a camper.
Thoughts, comments, arguments????
