Hi Clive! Thank you for your detailled answer! I will try to have a look for some different Pics where i can also verify the NSN´s --------------- 12x12 Shelter Lightweight?! Never seen - is ist an old version with thinner Canvas, or a new one wich is just in Service? --------------- As i have a Penthouse Tent from an FV, (might be from an FV432 command post)but no Poles and Frames at all - - Have you ever seen an end section to close the tent when the FV is dismoutet? I seen that the FV itself is the last "frame", but maybe the tent can also be errectet freestanding?!? - Have you ever seen an FV Penthouse attached to an 12x12? Hopefully this is the same Size as the Passageway addon´s, but i think this is just in my dreams compartible... - Do you have pictures and/or of the Poles and Brackets usually used for the Penthouse FV Tent?! Next summer i will try to set up the penthouse tent and make a frame for it... if the 12x12 cross brackets will have the same angle i could try it with them... if you will have correct mesurements for the Poles it would be a big Help! Cheers Gung ......aaahhh found this: http://www.fv432apc.com/fv432webzine/issuetwo/ces/fv432_penthouse.html

Hi! Ok, mayby to many and complicated questions to describe them proper for my poor english.... What I think - You may have a NSN for the hole Tent/Shelter in complete ... and also you will have a NSN for the single parts... -Wall and Roof Section -End Section -Brackets -Pins ........... BUT! - There is not only one type of end section, there are mayby 5 to 10 different all together marked with a specific name(and NSN), as GS, Catering, Passageway.... And you may also have different MK´s as you may have an old Catering section maybe called MK1 and an improved one called MK3 Same with the Main (Wall and Roof) Section.... Right?!?!? Cheers Gung

Hi Mates! Got some Questions about the 12x12 i cant come along wit an answer... In MY oppinion the Main Sections and the End Sections MUST be "counted" in different ways, and you can´t just say it is a MK1,2 or 3 Tent, right??? Maybe someon can count the different end sections for me first? Types i know: MK1: GS (MK1?) - Just a straight wood toggled openening in the Middle from bottom to top MK1: Passageway - rollup square opening with lashes on outside to connect a "Tunnel", no mozzie net and no zipper? END SECTION MK1 WITH PASSAGEWAY ATTACHMENT 8340-99-369-1162 MK1: Penthouse Connetion?!? - never seen, does it exist? To connect it to an FV Penthouse Tent?!?! -------- MK2: GS? with rollup square opening with mozzie net and Zippers -------- MK3: GS? same as GS MK2 + Ventilation Opening on Top ? MK3: FOR SHELTER CATERIIGOFCS 8340-99-147-7465 Whats te difference to the "normal" one? and - what is this one here exactly? http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/attachment.php?attachmentid=29649&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1277218815 ----------------------------------------------------- Roof and Wall Sections.... MK1: - seen a very old one with Vent openings on top... MK1: GS - The normal one.... MK1: Catering?!? MK2: ?????? MK3: Catering MK3: With Velco for Ground Sheet and Side Panel for Heating applications (or is THAT MK2) Please Help me Out :-) I Also Know There is a Passageway "Tunnel" + a 4-sided Connector Tent to dock tents and Landy´s.. Is there a Connection between the 9x9 MK3 and the 12x12? and at least PATTERN.... ("99Pattern" for example) Does pattern mean the "COLOUR" or does it also mean "MODEL"? The newer Tents i seen looks more blue-greenish than the old ones which looks more brown-olive...when did this change? so many questions, thanks for your Help! Cheers Gung

Maybe like this?!? http://www.scale87.de/kette_uk/FV432/images/432-gbo1.jpg I hope there are not to many different versions... I must unpack it and look if i find some Infos stamped on it....

Hi Andy! Something like this... http://www.military-today.com/apc/fv105_sultan_images.htm On the Backside Pic you can see the tubes for the tent, but i am sure i have somewhen seen an FV with an ready fixed frame on the back.... And i forgot to write -Lucky as i am: I GOT THE TENT FLY!!! i am only missing the Frame, an END SECTION (i dont know if it exists at all, as on the end normaly there is the FV) and the technical infos! :-) sorry - my english is getting a bit rusty... AAAAH - Found it...... In the link Nr.4: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/SHELTERS.pdf On Page 14 "FV432 in Command Post role" I think this must be the one I have... There are also the vehicles with the frames attached! Cheers Gung

Hi! Thanks for your help, but no - Both Tents, the small one that fits on the side and the 9x9 i know very good, but thats not what i mean... The tent i look for details is - i am pretty sure - an "Command Post Role" tent (dont know if it is the right name...), and the first row of the tent Tubes are permanently fixed on the back of the fighting Vehicle.... Cheers Gung

Hi! Been a while since i was here.... Now i got a question for what i think is an attachable Tent for a CVRT... Not this small 4 Persons side-Shelter, i mean this quite large Tent on the Back called "Penthouse"?!? Must look like a Narrow 12x12... Has anybody of you Pic´s and/or sizes of the Tent set up and the Parts? Means angle of the brackets Length of the tubes Parts list Additional parts... Is there an end section, or is it always open on one side as it is fixed to the vehicle? Thanks for your Help! Gung

Hi all! http://www.ebay.de/itm/Glencoe-8x8-NVA-DDR-Bundeswehr-BW-Allrad-Iltis-Munga-Wolf-G-Model-/270941760822?pt=Automobile&hash=item3f15632d36 First time i recognised this brand... was this brand/model in MOD service ever? Looks like a real funmobil! Cheers Gung

Hi! Have a look on this brilliant website: http://www.panzerbaer.de/helper/bw_lkw_02t_gl-a.htm Look for the "LKW 2T" - the description for the Mog in the Bundeswehr! Best regards Gung

Here U Go! http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?12834-unknown-aluminium-frame Cheers Bastian

Hi Tony! The connectors i got and Piet got fit over the tubes and are stronger than the connectors of the 12x12 and 9x9 tent, but the tent connectors will fit inside! only problem can be the angle, as i dont know, if it is the same, so u will get problems fitting the sides proper... i dont even know if my connectors are the same as the ones of the 18x24 tent, as they are also the stronger types! i will post if i can test the normal ones against the stronger connectors! and - can u provide a picture of the original pack? i got one - heavy wit a lot of aluminium joined to the canvas... dont know if this belongs original to the shelter.... Bastian

Good afternoon! Can someone tell me how the proper Groundsheet for the newest 12x12 variant looks like, means the colour and material?! is it in one piece, or two? And what are the 2 x 3 Ventilation openings for? there is 2 small diameter ones, and 1 larger diameter one, and this 2 times on one side of the tent... only warm air? or nbc application? cheers bastian

Perfect Piet! Thank You Mate! The only Question.... What is the official name of this Shelter? Does anybody knows? And as the drawing shows A bit different frame - what is this for - a larger container shelter? bastian

Can someone provide me the nsn for the connectors? or pictures?

Hej Piet! My pieces come together..... Can u provide me a picture of the naked frame? and can u tell me if your shelter has also the tubes on the bottom numbered 9 and 5 ? Cheers bastian
