Why not ask this question on a G-Class Forum where folks are more interested in maintenance and service than expeditions?

Only in Canada. It's not importable to the US until 2024.

LWB's are FAR more common than SWB's.

Actually, parts are not at all difficult to obtain in the USA. They can be very pricey, however.

And, a 6'4" person, such as myself, can walk around inside the karavan without having to duck. Not so for the kruiser.

We definitely have more than enough units to schedule a North American Kimberley Gathering some time in 2016.

There are at least four sources for G parts in the US: 1.) Eurotruck Importers in Georgia 2.) Fourbyfourclub.com in New Jersey 3.) Couch Off-Road Engineering in Colorado 4.) Your local MB dealer. Yes, they can get the parts, but all too often refuse to do so. As far as flagging and parts...

The big problem is that most G's that have been on the German winter salted roads for 25 years usually have a lot of rust; and a new paint job can hide a lot of sins.

I carried two Scepter fuel cans and one Scepter water can up there. See here: http://www.pbase.com/flydutch/image/103260086

This isn't quite 3/4 length. It's an ARB rack.

Really? You've already posted there.

Ja, gewiss!

For these kinds of questions and answers, why not post on a forum like P3, where there are several people who can respond because they've done the job? This forum is more aimed at expeditioneering and vehicle modifications to do this.

It obviously has the newer G500 wheels. 18's were not available from the factory on the 280GE.

I posted my thoughts on P3.

And in 2013 it was US$1.05. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for US$0.60.

The Aussie Dollar is starting to get stronger. It was as low as US$0.70, but closed on Friday at US$0.73+.

It did not take two weeks for mine to clear the paperwork. As I remember, it was only a couple of days. Also, Loxton will come and give you training on the van in Compton, if you go down to pick it up.

I had originally planned to attend with my G500 and Kimberley Karavan, but the combination of the weather and a knee that's pretty much impossible to walk on and is scheduled for replacement kept me from attending. Sorry to have missed it.
