Yeah, looks nice. Motofish coffee is a subset of Motofish Images (http://www.motofishimages.com/), a seemingly talented/artsy Seattle-based commercial photography company. The story I heard somewhere--perhaps accurate, perhaps not--is that Motofish was attending all sorts of Seattle-area events...

I just now came across the website of the company in BC that did CamperMog's conversion into CoffeeMog. I'm still having pangs of guilt about this, particularly the part about gutting her insides (wonder what happened to the good electrical stuff and expensive tools?). But she must be doing...

The idea with the tent beds is that the mattress gets modified to fold in two directions. When only one person is in the tent, he/she sleeps on the doubled over mattress and the opening remains open. If two people, they pull closed the panel stored under the mattress to cover the opening and...

Used to be $102 from Amazon. It went up $18 between our first and second sheets. They have it listed as Prime, but delivery is by truck so there's about a week in transit. When you check out you pick a delivery time, and when I did it, the closest offering was a week out. I never found a...

It's called Gatorfoam, and it's a staple of the outdoor sign industry. Look here for details: http://www.foamboardsource.com/gatorfoams--gatorfoam.html We're using a couple of 4x8 sheets of 3/4 inch thickness. Small pieces (UPS shipable) are easy to come by, but 4 x 8 sheets involve truck...

Yeah, I know. Ken and I are good friends. Still an embarrassingly dirty tent, though.

If you'd sat under the carport for as long as this tent did, you'd be dirty, too. That said, I had intended to give Paul a cleaner tent. But I had it sitting about six feet off the ground and actually couldn't see the top, so I sort of spaced the fact that it would be dirty when we pulled it...

Yep, you guys have got it right as per my understanding . . . It takes 25 years before you're clear of the EPA and the DOT agencies. However, once you make 25 years, importation is relatively straightforward, though some people get the assistance of a customs broker. I did it myself and it was a...

Thanks for the useful discussion. A couple of things that led to the current proposal . . . they'll be a 48" "sofa" at the bow end, along with a folding backrest, and the current plan is to make the backrest (let's say it's 15" high) unfold and attach sideways to the 28" deep sofa bench. This...

We're going to do it with an Autohome Columbus: Feel free to follow along at http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/132612. Be aware, though, that we're pretty much making it up as we go. :)

Yeah, I was kind of faked out by that photo, too. Figure this is more like what will need to happen. I originally was going to have the sidewalls placed right at the inner edge of the pods, so that they'd be 24" wide to close to cover the trailer bed, but this model shows Paul's thought that...

There are several posts about this already scattered around the Portal, including the Motor Trend article. Searching for "Sprinter" in the titles of threads will get you information dating back quite a while. That said (and as the article makes clear), the test course MBz let the journalist...

Thanks for taking an interest in this thread. Nothing better than having someone of your experience helping with the plans. We started out with the idea of a lifting roof, but this is a pretty modest, somewhat speculative, project and having the roof stationary really reduced the degree of...

Thanks for all the photos. They were just great, and a valuable public service for those of us not attending.

I told you, Paul, that he was too smart for us.

It's my understanding that the 25% duty is on trucks and not RVs, and that you would pay 2% to import this rig. That was my experience when I imported my Unimog camper. That said, I felt like Customs was actively looking for a reason to classify things as trucks, so it seemed pretty clear that...

Just gotta wait patiently, my friend. I'm sure he'll have my ttrailer done in the proverbial two shakes of a . . . whatever it was. :)

Paul's been working on other projects, including finishing up Jeaninne's Sprinter conversion. He came down to Portland today to deliver a surfboard he's also been working on, so he used the opportunity to pick up the pile of components for the build that I'd gathered together and take it back to...

Apparently a well regarded truck. George wrote back after I sent him the link: "I wish I could afford that rig...that is a VERY well thought-out build. About the most elegant U-series truck I have seen. I really like it!"

Thanks for posting this. It's a pretty capable and handsome looking rig: My fellow Mogger George met the owners on a trip to Victoria Island several years ago and found them to be very nice people, FWIW. There's a good deal more information on their BC Explore website...
