I'm looking for a 4*4 (camper/truck/...) which can accommodate our family of 5 for 6 months during a trip through South America. We would like to camp. I would like to buy the vehicle in South America, register/insurance it there, and sell it afterwards. I was thinking of a land rover...

@ LukeH: cool trucks you do find! I tought i'm doing good searches, but miss out on a few real nice trucks! Thanks! Can't measure the aft seats of the Defender for the next two weeks, but surely it's not a lot of room you get in that car. Also the steyr is wild!

Since I'm searching more with the tag 'Iveco' I came along this one: http://autoline.info/sf/municipalutility-machinery-fire-truck-IVECO-260-PAC-26-11100510295421003700.html This was a complete brain drain, all normal thinking whipped out in ones. Until the sales price was send to me: 37.000...

After long hours of research I have below compiled list of knowledge about the mercedes ng. To my knowledge most of the mercedes engines are well engineered. The 1017 is a bit strangely geared, making it slow @ given RPM's. The 1017 is an OM 352 engine, thus old. I try to go more up on the...

It's great to see all the pro's and con's melted together with experiences from people. Doesn't make the choices easier tough. The long Magirus 120-23 and mercedes 1222 LF16 cabin is a currently more a decision problem than an advantage. This above trucks fit nicely in my budget and basic...

I'm looking where to find the spec's of the different firetrucks made by Mercedes. I do know about the OM352 A in the 1017, 1113. What engine you may find in the 1222? It's a 10.8 ltr, 216 hp. What is the OM number and the amount of cylinders? The 1019 doesn't have necessarily the OM 352 A...

@ apexcamper: I'm following your thread since first day. I never interfered because the airbag issue from the first pages wasn't really of any concern (yet). That being said, I'm wondering what your camper drives like with the new shelter. Although the shelter is low for your length it still...

Indeed the OM 352, 5.6 ltr engine with 168hp is been recognized like a reliable engine. Meanwhile you may find this engine not only in the MB 1017/1019 but also in the 1113 Kurzhauber. And if I follow my hart the 1113 is the better, and in most cases cheaper option Thus, Why go for the 1019 if...

Hi, Love to read the different posts here! The amount of knowledge available here is amazing. Previously I did post my interested in a DOKA offroad truck/chassis to accommodate my 3 kids, wife and myself. @ that time a Unimog was still high on the wish list. Things cooled down after this...

I'm very familiar with the area: How was it to navigate around in the small village @ the Tarn, to go up from St. Enemie towards Chanac and Balsiege? (no accent on the e due to qwerty) I like the wildness in this area. Nice trip, looking forward to mor pic's

He, I like your moggie. Especially the fact that the box isn't that high against the cabin roof, like most of the other campers do have. Do you have a height problem in the camper unit, or do you work with a lifting roof on the cell? I'm interested in your solutions. thanks Jan

Hello, I'm still new here, and new in the offroad camper world. Like many under us, I'm just a little boy with his toys. A Defender 110 is a accomplished childs dream. Next up is a Unimog camper. Meanwhile I learned that between the boys dream and reality some things are obstructing the road...
