Just realized that I never updated this thread after my last short trip! About one year ago I went to Germany for one week to see some friends and check on the truck. Unfortunately the camper was doing as badly as you might fear, frozen plumbing had burst pipes and the camper...

I just returned from the Abenteuer & Allrad show in Germany and I saw an interesting 265/70R19.5 tire, mounted on an Iveco Daily 4x4, that I hadn't come across on the forums. The tire is the Pirelli MG:01. I think it's a nicer looking tire than the Toyo ATW offers, but maybe not available here...
@Ninja Truck - Did you make it down? I'm considering a 2012 Fuso and this is my main concern, since I plan on using it extensively in Baja. I haven't found anyone with ULSD era Fuso's writing about their travels in Baja.
