mlvw trailer leg M104 CND3 and other info needed

[Marc Montgomery]

out of curiousty, the MSVW, and LSVW trailers appear to be about the same size ..are they?

I guess you know of my saga of trying to buy "flexible rope" ie the rubber tarp cord.. would that be the same size for both trailers (ie 7mm) ?

(Thanks to UPS and failure to communicate..Im out about $90 and no cord)

Iltis trailer cord is a bit thicker (8mm??) and wouldn't fit.

The Manac M101 trailers date from 1981 and yes the DEW trailers are from the last half of the decade. DEW manufactured M104CDN4s in 1987, 1988 and 1989 although they are considered to all be 1987. As Rob stated the M102CDN3 Modified Kitchen Trailers (another Manac product) date from 1985.

Nope. The 1.5 ton trailers are longer and wider. The LSVW trailers are nearly identical in size to the old M101 3/2 ton trialers. When we were getting rid of the 3/4 ton trailers, I saved a couple of the security cages and we moved them onto the new LSVW trailers....perfect fit and the same tarpaulin.

Does the CF supply chain still get new tarps? (for the SMP-lsvw trailers)
If so where or who is mfg?
Same for the "flexible rope" (the rubber cord)

The CF would still get tarps. For years they were from GMA, but it has now wound down. A half dozen other companies have moved in to replace them. Armtech and Breton are just a couple.

Perhaps for your cord you should try again along with some better communication.

Tyson, Have you managed to sort out your missing trailer leg? Amongst some spares for an M532 Laundry trailer that I have I've got a couple of these legs. They look very similar to the one that you're missing but the method of securing when retracted may be different. PM me if you're still looking.
