Id love to see how you built the pass through into the camper.

I plan on doing most if not all work on the truck myself. I have a "grandpa" who used to work on MB and MAN trucks back in the '60's, and owned a diesel repair shop since. If he doesn't know how to do it them someone on the form will know. My wife and I were just talking about a trip. It was...

Love your blog. Very helpful for someone who plans on doing something similar!

I fully understand I dont really know what im getting. I had a budget of about $45k (price of new Fuso). So when im looking at spending $25k delivered for a truck, that leaves money left over for fixing and/or updating the truck chassis and cab. The Fuso was really the only other "new" option...

Dang. always someone who knows more than I. Got to love it. On that note. Does anyone know someone who has bought a truck overseas and imported it? Right now I'm stuck on the details on buying said truck.

So I think ill be leaning back towards the 917 or 1017. I know "AF" is for fast axles but what does "AK" mean?

Well Marc and I are still discussing the right chassis. But I know it will be some kind of cabover. The CUBE looks like it will be 16 ft long about 7ft wide.

Hey everyone out there! Just wanted to say how great it is to work with Marc. I know he is very busy and he still finds the time to work with me designing my CUBE. Among other things. He is a really cool guy to talk too and thinks outside the box. If you are on the fence about his products...

Im losing sleep over this thing!! Here are the trucks 1428 AF I like this truck because the price is right (14K euros) with 15k miles. But why I really like it is it has an extended cab. I have a child and wife and huge dog. HAving a larger cab is a very nice thing to have. It also has 280HP...

Thats good to hear. I know when I get out of the States no one goes that fast but it worried me.

After doing months of research, I came to the conclusion the Fuso is not the right truck for my needs. So now its back to square one. After talking with my builder I think its best if I start looking into importing an older model MB firetruck (for importing reasons). SO now I have to figure...

What kind of top speed do you get?

I'm looking at a 1988 L 2000 steyr. I can find no info on this truck or anything similar. Anyone know of a good reference for these trucks?

Did this rig ever sell? I still see it for sale on some sites...

Per Marc's request I cant/wont post the CAD mark-ups until the design is finalized. We originally wanted to do a hard sided popup like he normally does, but since I need to have kids in the back... pass through and windows, we are just going to do solid hard sided, not unlike the EC model they...
