hy, after the fiberglass there is wood, even my 1500 series has 5/8 inch ( approx.) of plywood. try to use bigger galvanised screws, those you can screw with a box. if you still have a problem after the first bigger screw then your wood after the fiberglass is soft (humidity, age , water, etc)...

Hy, i was also searching a lot in the spring 2012 for some SMART shipping compagnies who let you sail along with your camper from Canada to Europe and back.I've found NONE. i've called directly the shipping lines, was ok for the camper, around 65$ cubic meter for shipping the camper but won't...

hy, maybe you are right too much trouble with a central tire inflation system. i've looked at the video with Monster valves looks quite nice.so maybe a good 12v compressor and some Monster valves for fast inflation/deflation will do the job. do you know a powerful 12v compressor for using...

Hy , i was woundering if it is posssible to cut the Doka Vario with a electrical saw with a metal blade. then buy a used or acccidented wohnmobil, taken the suspension out living only the frame which you put on your VArio.fabricate some metal parts to bolt the wohnmobile to your Vario frame...

6x6 like the new sprinter oberaigner 6x6 or Pinzgauer 6x6 that is the best traction and weight distribution a truck or camper can get.some day maybe i hope i'll be able to buy a Sprinter 6x6 and make my second conversion. the system i was talking about for going off-road is called central...

Hy, that is i want the system which deflates the tires by pushing a button, for sand and sharp rocks . a very important thing : mercedes are heavy trucks that is why the stress especially for the rear wheels add a camper box and all the equipment and will be heavier. with double tires also it...

Hy, i would keep the rear double wheels. just did a 8 month 25 000 miles tour of the Usa with a Sprinter double wheels( a little bit of offroad also) and double are stronger, get you a better rear grip and for safety reasons is a lot better if you have a puncture at high speed or even off road...
