Anywho....... Am building a camper and looking at MBU for cook top build. Any ideas? Bad choice? / Good choice? How big/small are they. hard to tell



* did search and found nothing..... if you know of a good good search term and/or place to look........ or know off a thread on this topic please pass this info on to me.

Dimensions should be in the TM for the unit your looking at using or maybe the MKT tm's
since these are part of the MKT trailers.

OK, what kind of MBU are you thinking about using? There are several different types. Not sure they all are the same size. Or are you still in the planning stage, and haven't any set MBU in mind? Its kinda like asking how big is a truck.

yes the MPU V3 is what was looking at. Thank you for reply. Was not aware there were others.

What is smallest type? or something similar/ cost effective for cooking. Other RV/Boat diesel type cook tops price are too prohibitive.

The MBU4 is about, (don't quote me on this) the same size. I am not a spoon. But had to fix a few MBU's while on active.

I just know that on fle-bay there are a few MBU's, and that's where I found the size of the MBU3. I asked someone else in fle-bay for the measurements for the MBU4. He may answer, or not. There are at least 2 more stoves that I know of.

I can't offer any definitive information on the actual MBU but from my experience at the GA Rally, if you use them inside, have hearing protection. You can hear them from a hundred yards away.

MBU is too short for the search engine, in Trailers which MKT's with MBU's are discussed use search term burner

.Yep most boards do NOT search 3 letters or less. Thanks for LP stove stuff..... but, have zero desire to go with more than one fuel type. Also lived 8+ years in RV's between undergrad, grad school, and first few jobs from one side of the country to another. You should no that... moderators are suppose to be mind reader guru's lol.

Thanks for all you do from one Mod to another.
