SGT Private RallyPoint Member 2317157 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So the TAIS is two HMMWVs, a generator, and a cargo trailer. Problem is one HMMWV has a shelter on it and cannot tow anything while the other one tows the genny and the cargo trailer goes unused. So the question is, am I off base here saying the Shelter truck can&#39;t tow anything? It&#39;s how I was trained. Im Considering ordering a troop carrier kit for the support truck so we can move organically. 2017-02-06T11:36:20-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 2317157

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I wouldn&#39;t tow anything with the shelter. Just to be safe, i would talk to my ATC Chief to get more guidance.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Its a GVW question, in other words weight.<br />The TAIS is in a S-788 shelter I believe, that shelter weights about 650 lb empty, with the TAIS and supporting equipment, plus basic HMMWV and its BII is added on, look at the rolling weight (go to your deployment site, there will be a record of a TAIS vehicle weight on one of the deployments previously in the system)<br /><br />The TM will specify if that outfitted HMMWV has capacity to tow a trailer... and any basic HMMWV of the same variant TM will tell you its load and load + towing capacity. <br />Forget what you were told, its in black and white.. Go see your maint Warrant, go with the TM in hand havening done your best to understand what it says, don&#39;t go and make him(her) do the leg work) If you go prepared and ask the Chief to confirm or deny what you researched, dollars to donuts they will with a smile.<br />maint chiefs are true professionals, expert&#39;s in their field, but they are not baby sitters..

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Send your question to me in global and I will see it gets to the TAIS folks. My out of office is on but I will still see your questions

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That truck was made to tow the cabin and generator. This is because the TAIS with generator is the entire operational system. I&#39;m pretty sure that the picture on the front of the TM shows the truck with gen trailer. The support vehicle and cargo trailer are not considered part of the system.
