Hi, Rich, -The fact that you say it says 'Penthouse', makes me think it is just possible it could b the Penthouse Shelter, used on the back end of Saracen Armoured Command Vehicles, -same shape as mine, but with odd wing shaped projections on the rear roof section, made of sheet metal, and designed for carrying this 'penthouse', it's associated support poles, and cam-netting. When fully set up it slightly resembles a 9x9 Command tent in appearance, only the horizontal roof support poles are telescopic, and poke backwards off the roof of the Saracen. Do you have a picture of it you could post? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's dated 2002... So can't possibly be Saracen!

andym Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 NSN 8340-99-800-0043 FV462749 appears in the FV432 CES for the Penthouse Conversion Kit as "Shelter Canvas; terylene and canvas, 24ft approx W, 14ft approx LG, w/end panel". Unfortunately the drawing doesn't make it clear what it actually does - it's not the penthouse tent itself, which is 8340-99-809-6541. I think it may be the forward part of the shelter that attaches to the rear of the vehicle? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I will have to take some more pics of the edges and buckles and flappy bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
