mlvw trailer leg M104 CND3 and other info needed

There were two purchases of the 1-1/2 ton trailers in support of the MLVW program. I can't remember if both were manufactured by DEW, but it seems to me the front landing leg differed by which contract the trailer was provided on.

I believe the dual dolly wheel version is a M104CDN4.

The first contract with the Fred Flinstone wheel was made by Manac. The second contract with the dual wheels was made by DEW engineering. The DEW chassis were, ad Ed has mentioned, the M104CDN4 model.

Back to your original questions: the plug that will attach to the trailer is an amphenol plug number 60-4266-23P. (Also listed as a 60-04266-23P) The trailer plug mounted on the frame is an amphenol 60-42022-23S.

Any idea of what year the manac trailers came out there isint a year anywhere on it it does have the old Firestone tires on it so I'm thinking some where early 80's is there any where to find a manual on it?

All of the trailers (and the MLVWs for that matter) came with the old split rims and goodyear tires. In the early 2000s, some of the tires out east started blowing apart due to corrosion, so it was a fleet-wide changeover in the end to the new style rims and tires. At one point, everything was grounded until the rims and tires got changed.

The Manacs should be 1983/84 period if I recall, while the kitchen trailers were 1985. The DEW trailers were in the latter half of that decade I think. A check of CFRs will tell the years of acceptance.

There is a manual: C30846000/MS000. It is available electronically to DND users.
