    Just drank the MKT kool-aide, my new MKT-75

    Do a search for "MKT Thumb Drive", the most recent iteration has the Ft. Lee booklet on how to open up and close down an MKT, along with a bunch of other info, including all the recipes that the Armed Forces use. Free if you send me a 4GB (or larger) USB drive to load the info onto.

    Street Legal Idaho + Cross International boarders

    Generally an RV has to have at least four or five of the following: Beds, sink, refrigerator, stove, 115 A/C power, toilet, HVAC. Permanently installed, not temporary! Number of required items depends on the state and may include additional items. YMMV.

    Kenny, Summer's coming, and you won't want to be outside then.

    Surplus Looking for a mentor.

    To ship globally, you MUST have US State Department approval on each item that is part of an EUC lot, or plan to spend a lot of time in a place that makes Attica look like summer camp. It is likely you will need approval on non-EUC items also - that is why so many surplus dealers will not ship...

    Moving from Texas to Bellingham Washington

    Since you have the time, I would suggest taking advantage of Google Earth and 'drive' your route using the computer to get a better feel for what it will be like (elevation changes won't show, but the curves in the road will). Mark spots that you will probably stop at, and/or where there will...

    Auxillary fuel line for MEP802a

    Usually on the generator end, the aux fuel line ties into the aux fuel pump. When you run in aux fuel mode and the tank gets down to 1/4 full, the aux fuel pump comes on till the tank goes over 3/4, then shuts off. It is designed to repeat as needed.

    Fuel guage Question

    Also, mounting the float in the middle of the tank (front to back and side to side) lessens the effects of sloshing, but the fuel pickup also needs to be at the same spot to be effective. So some compromise has to be made. Personally, I'd rater the gauge be inaccurate on the low side than the...

    napa pto gaskets?

    They are 49 cents each at FleetPride, but you do have to tell them which thickness you want. Don't need a part number, just tell them six bolt PTO gasket, and the thickness.

    MKT trailers

    I have quite regularly opened and closed up my MKT's by myself. It takes longer than when I have a crew of four or five to help. If you are not carrying a full complement of food and drink containers there would be plenty of room to carry camping supplies. For groups less than 25 people I...

    RAPCO Spray Can paint issues

    Another 'trick' is to find an old spray top and drill through it on the top to use when the can stops spraying because it's old. It will take two hands to 'spray' (one finger on each side of the top), but the idea is to allow a large volume of paint out of the can at a time, which forces the...

    MKT trailers

    The MKT series started with the 75 model and went up to the 99 model (about seven or eight different variants) and all the older ones that the Army was going to keep (and some it was not) were upgraded to the MKT-I version (six vent roof, 4 inch sidewall griddles, floor heating apparatus...

    MBU burner for MKT Kitchen trailer

    Jason, I've actually been using OTR diesel which I usually put some Dieselkleen in (added to the 5 gallon cans before I fill them). Have not had a problem that I'm aware of yet. I did use kerosene early on when it was cheaper than OTR diesel, but that has been five years or so.

    MBU burner for MKT Kitchen trailer

    John, Do you have a bad fuel supply? Normal maintenance is to replace the air filter after 300 hours, and the igniter after 1000 hours. In tank fuel filters is normally on an as-needed basis after using contaminated fuel. Can you try to backflush the ones you have and see what caused them to...

    Snorkel idea

    When the military does deep fording, it is normally at less than 10 mph and to be safe, less than 5 mph. Best to have two ground pounders dismount and walk 10 feet in front of your bumper, one on each side (where the wheels will be going). If either one disappears, stop! Even then, there will...

    MEP802a Just wondering if anyone has used Amsoil ?????

    Mark, I use Rotella T and change it according to the LO. It's usually pretty clean looking but I figure it as cheap insurance. YMMV.

    MBU Control knob binds up.

    I use diesel, and always have. Teleflex says to use JP8, which is a highly refined (read NO water remaining) kerosene with an antifreeze, biocide and corrosion inhibitor in it.

    MBU Control knob binds up.

    It's not that you put it in an oven. I've had a couple of them bind up so that they would not turn down to the heat setting I wanted to use while at the GA Rally. When I got home and was checking/cleaning everything, they all worked fine! The bouncy 130 mile ride unfroze it is all I can...
