Well, I've been looking for awhile and was able to score a MKT-85 (#2430) out of Ft Meade. Picked it up Tuesday 12/2 with the help of my brother who came in from NJ. Trip was uneventful (thank goodness). Brought some tools and spare tires just incase Murphy happened to show up.
Two hours later we arrived at my house and began the setup process, to see what was there, what was missing and what needed repaired. I had the manual printed out and we began the process.
The manual says it takes 4 people, 30 mins to set up. That would be true if it wasn't your first time, you in fact had 4 people who knew what to do and it wasn't 35 degrees outside (man I hate the cold weather). We weren't in a hurry at all and in fact went up pretty quick with only the two of us.
I didn't go down and preview the trailer, but from the pics I could see that the M-59 ovens were missing, however it had 8 mbu100 burners (only 6 are needed).
Once we had everything open this is what I found:
The bad
- no M-59 ovens
- griddle missing (now I have to find one or have one made)
- all utensils are gone
- no extinguisher (not a big deal I have plenty in the garage)
- no drop lights (not a big deal, lights are cheap)
- one of the grommets torn out on the canopy
- no jerry cans (need to find the new style for the power fueling adapters)
- no insulated food containers
- no insulated beverage dispensers
- no folding tables
- couple of minor metal pieces that need to be replaced, but nothing major.
The good
- 8 MBU100 burners (only 6 are needed, and they all power up - did not light them off though)
- all three ladders and handrails were there
- all the screens were there in new condition
- foul weather skirts were all there in new condition
- new tent repair kit (some minor repairs needed, so this will come in handy)
- (2) power converters - and original one and an updated V3 version
- second large ice chest (you can never have too much beer when you go camping)
- (2) new in the package burner maintenance kits
- (2) new power fueling can adapters
Overall the trailer is in pretty good condition, a little more than I wanted to pay, but you gotta jump on things when they come up. Hopefully, I can get the missing pieces and have it up and running in a short time. Depending on how things go, I may even bring it down to Aberdeen in the spring.
Anyone know where to get a replacement griddle for the MKT? Anyone that has a MKT, got any good pictures and dimensions of the griddle so I can have one made? What are they made out of? Stainless steel or plate steel?
and just so I don't get hit with not having any pics..... here's a few from the other day.
