What Is The 3 Head Burner On The Back Bumper Of My Motorhome For?

by Paul
(Oregon)

I found a 3 head burner on the rear bumper on a 1988 Superchief. It has a line running to it from the gas tank, but would only get fumes if it was used. What is this unit used for and how would it not burn down the Motorhome?

ANSWER: Greetings Paul thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

The first question I have for you is have you contacted the previous owner or the dealership you bought the Motorhome from to see if they could tell you exactly what this is?

Since I do not have a picture of what you are talking about I can only guess at what this is. If it is actually hooked into the fuel tank of the motorhome then I have no idea what it is for or how safe it would be to use it.

If it is actually connected to the propane tank then I can guess that it is a 3 Burner Propane Stove that one of the previous owners added to the Motorhome for outside cooking. That being said, I still do not know how safe it is to use.

I would suggest that if it is actually hooked up to the fuel tank that you get it removed especially if there are fumes escaping from it.

Maybe one of our visitors can tell us for sure what this contraption is.
