Shelter General purpose 12 Foot Canadian
Hi all, just bought this 12 foot general purpose shelter used by the Air Force with a CFR starting with an 84 , year of manufacture . I want to restore it and make it out into a realistic TAC Aviation command post . I will use it later as a range control office.I wonder if i should post here or on the resto forum ? Does anyone have PAM’s / Ref books on these ? How much does it weight ? Is the floor insulated like the roof and walls ? On the right of the door between the door and Jerrycan holder is a clip with rubber like a gun rack with a metal cup underneath. What is it for ? An antennae ? Any other info appreciated . I have worked in these for many years but never as an operator / maintainer just as screen watcher . Thanks a lot . Bob

There is a bit of data on the CADC postings for these boxes:

The flexible vinyl section around the perimeter at the rear is for a penthouse, probably the mating piece to connect to conventional modular tentage. When that style of box is on an MLVW, there is an interface that not only has poles out from the floor of the box and a short arch pole back to the roofline, but a series of skirts that enclose around the issue ladder. Quite a clear but maddeningly only-fits-one-way piece.
The weak spot is a ball and socket knuckle at the end of the arch poles. MCE had those knuckles in storage because the troops used to break them (quite innocently) often enough.

Anyone know if these things are easily mounted and dismounted with M36 C ?
Can they be lifted with just one hook or is there more to it? Thanks!

It seems to me that the 4 cables that hold the box to the truck are used to lift it. There is a ring stowed in a bracket on the outside of the box that joins the 4 cables together.
An empty box is certainly within the range of a M36 crane load capacity.
