I am trading for a M109 van body Deuce. I have plans to pull my MKT90 field kitchen M105 trailer for catering/ local groups /emergency food service. My stumbling block is the fact that the Army had Field Sanitation Units based on a tent with MBU burner sinks and drying racks and the local...
I don't need to feed a batallion, but more sleeping area would be good since the 109 is for my wife and me. I am considering pulling out some of the kitchen equipment and making it a pop-up sleeper-kitchen.
Also either getting a custom tent or modifying one to attach it to the side of the...
I would buy a M116A3 and build the box you want to build. That is if you want some other than an open box with a cover. There are lots of cool M101 trailers on here and Expedition Portal but that style does not fit my needs. Everyone is different. I recently bought a M116 and just did an axle...
Hi all -
Looking to possibly buy a used M101 - probably an A2 to build as a utility hauler/camping trailer. Plans include a custom lid that both holds a rooftop tent and hinges so half of the trailer can be accessed with the tent on. Down the road I'd like to put a removable slide out camp...
FJ Cruiser and I am building a box for the top of the trailer with a pull out kitchen, water tank, cargo area, and an RTT on top so a good deal of weight is being added. For off-roading I would like the back up of electric brakes. Hopefully that clarifies some things.
I'd like an openable set of these three pics, can you reload then so I can open them larger. Interested in the folding stair design, but image too small to see details. Thanks. :D
The porta potti was designed by a distant cousin of mine, Frank Sargent who got tired of a Airstream camper with"no place to go, shall we say". Wonder what he would think of a Deuce Camper?? You are making good progress.
I saw this truck back porch from some site. I like the design...
55 mph is pretty much 1700 rpm - Owning a HET also and driving a lot of other slow vehicles, 55 mph is just fine to me. When I first got the Allison M916, I thought it was so cool that it'd run 75 mph, but now I mostly enjoy that it'll do 55-60 mph at lower rpms. 55 is nice in that it makes a...
Tough trailer to find-good job in getting one to pull with the M916. How well does the winch set up work in lifting the trailer up and locking it into the 5th wheel? Always see lots of dents in the approach ramps on the tractors.
You indicated a 55mph cruising speed in driving out bobtailed...
Actually, it's mainly an upgrade of the German WWII kitchentrailer. Our MKT was an odd duck, built to feed 250-300 troops, when most companies are 125-150 troops and battalions are 500-600. It's true that they used two MKT's together for a battalion, but then they developed the CK...
To all MKT Owners,
Bringing the following hard to get KitchenTrailer items to sell. NOS MBU Slave cables, NOS 2 Wire Harnesses, NOS 4 Wire Harnesses, Take out 2 and 4 Wire Harnesses, as well as 1 25 ft. MBU Extension Cable(not easily found item). Nice take out splash shield sets for 2 and...
Glad you like 61sleepercab. Thanks. Yes, I now have the toughest and sorest thumb in the east. Oil sample a good idea, was thinking about JB Welding a reinforcement plate near cylinder #6 just in case. :) I keep the revs down and don't lug it either. Hoping for the best. I have purchased...
Good looking Winabago35 ,You were brave to rattle can a Deuce.I bet you are local tiddley winks champion/ thumb wrestler king of the neighborhood. My friend painted a whole 1930's car with a trombone type fly sprayer ,pumping, pumping away for hours. I have "Sandy the 5 ton" in sand tan and I...
WOW! just realized i have 1 day off before I am due to take the trailer to a MV show for 4 day, then 3 days after that to get it ready for haspin fall rally!! I need to get the gen wired up, and the water tank plumed in.. lots to do, and soooooooo little time!
BUT! there are some very fun...
Hi from Blairsville, Where's store located? you should add contact info to signature? Ga rally is a must go, if you wanted to drag some stuff over there they have a no charge (I think) vendor area great camping or cabins, kitchentrailer serving meals, trail rides, and a story fire. And the...
If I don't hear from somebody in the next few minutes I'm not bringing a 1009 hood. I kinda need it anyway.
anybody want a set of kitchentrailer tube lights? I have a new pair with blue shields. Also bringing two interceptor vests, one brand new size large with brand new large plates.
I will have a metal fuel can thats spotless on the inside for sale for $20, a brand new water scepter can for $40 and some misc. parts for the deuce available as well as some Kitchentrailer equipment.
