    Be glad you didn't buy. It would have broken right after you bought it.

    2007 GL320 CDI question

    A GL is not a G-Wagen, not even close. The GL is an SUV, not a truck. You might better post in the following forum: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/25-Expedition-Vehicles-Other Does the one you're looking at have the off-road option? You should have no trouble with a GL on easy...

    Electric Brake Controller for a new 2016 G550

    Unfortunately, you won't find an adapter for your G. Follow the advice given by pvb in his post.

    Best G Wagen forum?

    Thanks for the P3 kudos. Minor correction. P3 was started in April 2006 by the founder of Benzworld after he got taken advantage of by the new owner of BW.

    Electric Brake Controller for a new 2016 G550

    The Tekonsha P3 is probably the best available. Unfortunately, the G is not prewired for the brake controller (as some other MB models are from the factory); so you will have to get someone to wire it in for you. It's not too difficult to do, but is mostly a pita. The dealers I've talked to...

    FS - Kimberley Karavan

    Brent, Thanks for the encouragement. I had a partial Knee replacement in Feb 2012, followed by a revision to a total knee replacement in Oct 2015. The upcoming total is is for the other knee. Yes, at 6 weeks I can be moving around pretty well, but not doing contortions and or any heavy...

    FS - Kimberley Karavan

    Will do. Right now it is broken down and unusable until a repair is done. The big problem is that there is currently no US repair service available, and the repair may be beyond the ability of a shade tree mechanic like myself. We shall see what we shall see when the weather warms up and I...

    Kimberley Kampers, Karavans and Kruisers - the Good and the Bad

    Only one very small part of the KKOG Forum is open to prospective buyers. You would not be able to access the general discussion forums until you can provide a chassis number that you own or have on order. Two very strong people could raise a busted corner while the winch pulls up the other...

    Fabricating a powered dust filtration system?

    Waaaaaaaay overly complicated, if you only want to minimize dust. The top air scoop mentioned above works very well, and it's one less thing to break down.

    Fabricating a powered dust filtration system?

    Actually, Kimberley Karavans use a simple air scoop on the top of the van where it is located above the majority of dust. See the attached photo. The air pressure when moving is the only power. They use a simple replaceable lawn mower engine intake air filter on the inside to eliminate any...

    Kimberley Kampers, Karavans and Kruisers - the Good and the Bad

    It's closed for a good reason - so that owners can communicate freely without fear of reprisal and spam. There is a LOT of good sharing of ideas, tips and genuine support there, including ways to fix and improve things. There is even a section open to questions by prospective owners. It's a...

    Kimberley Kampers, Karavans and Kruisers - the Good and the Bad

    Synthetic lines are not possible. This has been discussed in depth on the closed owners forum in Australia. Also, stainless cable is too stiff to go around the small pulleys being used. There are some inspection ports, but a borescope type inspection camera is needed to really see much of...

    I didn't intend to hijack this thread, only to respond to an earlier poster's concerns. The lift mechanism is four galvanized steel cables, one at each corner. They go through a series of pulleys to one follower that is pulled by a small Warn winch located in the boot. There is no manual...

    As a Kimberley Karavan owner, I can share my experience. 1.) There is no import duty. KK prices their products delivered to Los Angeles. Depending on your location, you might have to pay a local sales tax when your register the unit. I did in Georgia - 6%. 2.) There is currently no North...

    Introduction: 1990 GD300

    Just to be rigorously correct, it is a 300GD - not a GD300. :smiley_drive:

    300GD - Am I headed into a money pit?

    Just be sure that the truck is 25 yrs or older.
