M109 van body folding back porch?????? Got pictures... Design????

[61sleepercab]

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 food safety police has a cow about no triple bowl sink.

I want to put sinks on wheels for removal when not in use in the van body and use a fold down porch on the truck to mate to the MKT 90 fold down cat walk.

I have seen fuzzy pictures from some sites but no close up pictures or plans/drafting of a porch. Has anyone have good design/ good pictures of a foldable porch for the van ?
Any help appreciated. Mark

We put a M109 box on a 5ton and added a liftgate. Let me see if I can find the thread.

I couldn't find the build thread here on SS, but this is Opcom's website with pics.

My sink operation is mounted on another MKT which is backed up to the cooking MKT. But that does require a second truck and driver. I did have built a platform that goes between the truck and trailer, mounting on the bumperettes, but it's mainly to bridge the gap between the shop van door and the MKT platform, not as another area to be used for equipment.

Thanks for the ideas fellows. I have forgotten a Lift Gate as a possible fix. A bridge to the van back would be handy with theMKT field kitchen also. Mark

Some of the big van trailers have a folding "back porch" that is made of aluminum and hinged to raise and lower. The last trailer I picked up had been so equipped but the deck is gone.....thanks GL.
