Considering the FG 140, I'd like to know at what speed the truck would "cruise" up a long 6% grade holding the tach at about 2200-2400rpm with different loads in 1000 lb increments from 1000 lb to 8000 lb. Cruise means a steady speed at the set rpms. I'm trying to estimate what load would cause...

I'd like some real world comments, nothing scientific or theoretical, about using the Webasto X100 diesel cook top. Perhaps someone who's used it in more than one country. I know about propane: fast, room heat + humidity. Just used an induction cooktop with pot of water simulating cooking rice...

We have a proven rig with for full time comfortable living. Could all this be scaled down into a quality, tough, MODERN, smaller rig? We've ruled out: Tiger, SMB, a GXV cabin on a truck wouldn't be any smaller, all the 'prized' European 4cyl diesels are for temporary but perhaps not full time...

I have a 14000 lb camper with this tire history: June 2011 at 105,243 mi, got new tires: Cooper Discovery ST MAXX, LT 235/85R16 E1 tire pressure for weight: 70psi front, 60psi duals June 2012 at 114,778 mi, rotate the 2 unused spares to front, got new springs and std shocks. This was at 12...

On a global basis would parts and service be more available for the Fuso 4 cyl, an older International DT 466 or Cummins diesels?

Started thinking about a smaller, more economical full camper, no tent. Can we have one in the US? We have a Fuso camper that gets 12mpg. 20mpg would be an improvement, 25 would be amazing. I believe the Winnebago VW based Rialta, last made in '05, gets 20mpg . Probably difficult to turn the...

I have an '03 Fuso FG camper. Front axle weight 5300 lbs, rear 8540 lbs. New tires. New Fuso 649 springs and standard Fuso shocks. Doug Hackney told me to get anything other than Fuso shocks and to get custom springs. We didn't have time to do this. The springs are probably working OK but I...

We parked overnight by a high school with no prior clue that this rock was between our duals until the next morning. When we started driving the rotational 'thump thump' was very obvious. It moved a little with a small hammer and took a sledge to get it out without much difficulty. If it had...

Perhaps of interest: We saw this outside Creede CO. They're dressing rooms for the actors in the new Disney picture "Lone Ranger", from Tonto's view point. Tonto is played by Johnnny Dep. The train sceens are shot with the train on a flatbed being pulled down the highway and the camera on...

FYI, we saw this truck on Hwy 145 north of Cortez CO 3 or 4 miles. Since there's some interest in this type vehicle, I called Bill at 480-310-0245. It's a '93 M35A3 deuce with Cat 3116 engine, 4spd Allison, ps, central tire inflation, for $10k. Evidently he works on these trucks, has parts- sold...

I now have the specs for our built overland camper, prior owned by Don Greene. It's 7500 lbs fully loaded, including spare tires and under frame Knaack storage box; 14' length, 8' width, 8' height. Currently mounted on Fuso FG, 22' length. I'd like an '06 or older truck, with an 11,000 payload...

I've looked at the usual literature http://www.mitfuso.com/en-US/Resources/Literature and the service manual. The max payloads are listed, but not the truck avg base weight. Also emailed a note to Mitsubushi. What's the avg dry '03-'06 133" WB truck weights before any modifications? Don't need...

I started this thread on the Mitsubishi site by mistake. I don't know how to move it to this section. Suggestions? http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/78232-Remount-camper?p=1109041#post1109041 Gary

On this board, one will find different ways to mount a camper to a chassis. I'm not an expert on any of them and can't participate in the details of any mount. This thread is simply our journey to fix a problem. If you ask me any questions about anything other than what we've done, I won't be...
