Other than OEM does anyone have any suggestions for replacing the leaf springs on my NPS300? I vaguely recall someone using Hino parabolics as a direct fit alternative?

It pains me to admit, but in the spirit of full disclosure the "Residential" AC system mounted to our camper failed! While driving ~110km/hr down the highway I heard a screeching metal spinning on metal sound followed by a rhythmic clunk - kaclunk noise from above my head. When I pulled over I...

Arrived at inskip point today and after putting the truck into low range I took off in 2nd, as soon as I grabbed 3rd it popped out of low. If I stay in whichever gear I start off in it stays in low. If I hold the lever in low it stays in low. Any ideas ?

Can someone remind me why this is considered a bad idea? I remember reading a few posts about it but can't find them. Currently our spare is located under behind the rear axle under the chassis rails and its starting to become a problem as we get more adventurous with our travels. Its not...

Hi All We have the original 24v alternator from our truck (since replaced with 130A beastie) available for a carton of beer (or bottle of sauv blanc) to a good home. It was removed in working order and includes belts.

Hi All I just got in the truck to take it for a quick spin around the block after having it sit in the same place for ~3 months while we built the camper and the clutch pedal won't depress with "normal" pressure. I gave it a bit of a push and the pedal made it to the floor but stayed there. I...

Hi All Long time lurker, avid reader, and now new owner of a 2002 NPS ready to be converted into our ultimate escape vehicle. The truck arrived last night straight out of its previous life as a geo-technical drilling rig, covered in mud and in need of a good clean. Today (my birthday) has been...

Hi Guys We're a young couple (+ cat) from north brisbane designing a custom slide on camper with the intent to travel around Australia. We're hoping to have the camper built by the end of October (fingers crossed!). I just haven't told the misses its October…. 2013 :) The Camper: Welded box...
