Thanks!

Cool truck! Here's my converted ambulance. Drove it all the way to Panama and back. I'm currently in process of an interior rebuild.

Drove this all the way to Panama and back. We did get stuck twice, basically on top of the ground spinning in wet grass and black mud but got out easily. From my experience driving through Central America the key to the vehicle is good suspension! The roads are just rough and your vehicle really...

I live less than 10 miles from their location. I'll go by there and see what they're up to...

I use Mozilla Sunbird. It's free, simple and doesn't have to "interact" with the internet. You can find it here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

Does anyone know a good source for camper/van windows? My truck is an old ambulance and I want to put a sliding window in the rear on the driver's side. Thanks!

I was set on getting a Cobb when I ran across the Safari Chef Grill (propane) at Camping World. Now I don't know which one to buy???http://www.safarichefgrill.com/safari_chef_grills.html

This is a one of my favorite pictures from my Central American trip. It was taken at Roots Surf Camp, El Tunco, El Salvador.

I found this hard side lifting roof in Germany from Finck Camping Systeme. http://www.expedition-cabin.de/en/home.html I sent them an e-mail regarding the price and having one shipped to the USA. Here's the reply: Hallo Herr Steele, vielen Dank für Ihre Email. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen...

Does anyone know how long the side panels are on the Hannibal awnings? I'd like to get one for either the back or side of my truck and am trying to figure out if I can mount it to my rack or if I'll have to mount it lower on the side of the truck so the side panels reach all the way to the ground.

Anytime you see a foreign expedition camper in the US you can usually go back to this site and find them there at some point. I saw a German Landcruiser rig this past weekend in Waynesville, NC and sure enough, they had been through Quinta Lala earlier this year.

We could have easily gotten through those places with 4WD, no problem. And, as mentioned in a previous post, we got stuck a couple of times, right next to a standard Class C motorhome with dual wheels that had no problems. My truck is set-up to convert easily to dual wheels so I'm gonna give...

I'd like to get one of these lifting roofs from Fincke Campingsystems in Germany. I've got an e-mail into them regarding the cost. If it's too expensive, I'll probably just add a raised roof myself, probably out of aluminum. And then still use a roof tent, most likely the Columbus model.
