    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    The thing is my hatches are going to have to be be odd sizes to maximize the use of space. I should be in Victoria before summer. I'll stop by and chat with you about it if you have time.

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    Ok folks so it looks like its time to start back on this project. Has anyone here built there own GRP molds for door and hatch frames? It seems that it is not an uncommon thing in the marine and auto industries to build a mold and make your own profiles.

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    If memory serves me correctly, we are only 50cm longer than a regular cab. So really it just eats up our spare wheelbase, and puts us back to the same rear chassis space as a 3.2m Mog. I would shorten the extra cab by 10-15 cm as it is more than big enough for the dogs as is. Also the extra...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    I'm not great with computers. So I stuck a side on photo of Mjolnir in Power Point and tried to kick out a rendering of our concept of the camper. proportions are a bit off I'm sure, but It appears as though it won't look to bad if we follow our general plan. Trying to keep the 45 degree...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    Thanks for that Ian and DzlToy, I was completely oblivious to the concept of thermal cookers. The ecopot looks great. It seems to be a combination of slow cooker and thermal cooker. So I'll be adding that to the list. I'm very glad that I will be able to build the camper without gas appliances...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    So all this talk about cooking brings up another point...... I have decided to go with a diesel fired cooktop inside the camper. Outside I will be using a two burner liquid fuel stove as well as a grill, now I was thinking of going with charcoal, but ran across this today...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    Another good shot of our Mog during our trip "Up North". The second photo is of the terrain around Kemess Mine in Northern British Columbia. We use an outdoor kitchen a lot. I find it easier and my wife and I can do double duty. One keeps up with dishes while the other cooks. The awning makes...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    Some good information here. I am not sure about a water recycling system. So far I have just been considering rainwater collection from the roof and awning with the addition of a reverse Osmosis filter system that has UV sanitizing incorporated into it. In order to reduce water consumption we...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    The Mog was built in 1994. Dogs are the reason for the half doka. We travel with our pets when we can. We decided that an extended cab was needed for this reason alone. Some people think it is a waste of space, but it really is not. If you put the right bench seat in you can keep tools and spare...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    Here is a shot of Mjolnir in Northern BC on out most recent trip North of Kemess Mine in British Columbia. It was a great trip. There is a lot of beautiful scenery up there and the light shows are amazing. The weather was a bit cold. We went through the better part of 20lbs of propane to heat...

    Mjolnir "Das Maultier" Our Unimog U1550L Expedition Camper

    It was mostly dirt with just under 200km of paved road. There was a short section where I thought 4 wheel drive was necessary (about 50m) and a few creek/river crossings (nothing over 24"), but mostly it was good mining road (Good to me is drive-able with just enough big potholes to be...
