Basic set up is a new f550, 180amp alternator, 2X200ah LiFePO4 batteries (either victron or smart battery, still in the info gathering phase). When I run the calcs, to get the full alternator output to the batteries, I am looking at a massive 0000 cable run, connected via a nato plug. Its also...

We just ordered our truck this week and are debating the merits of beadlocks. Lots of posts in the jeep sized vehicle world, but fewer on the bigger campers. Earthroamer owners seem happy with them, and we see them on some of the brush trucks and military 550 rigs. We have a set of Conti 335...

$39995 1987 Unimog completely rebuilt from top to bottom, ready to take the camper of your choice and go WHEREVER you would like. Our lives changed and we aren't going to be able to take the trip we originally planned, thus we are forced to sell right at the point I finally finished everything...

Really great starting point for someone and pretty reasonable price. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ctd/4997470205.html

Anything else out there we should be considering?

F550 Surf Camper Build - Adrifters Hi All, Spent most of the last year and a half building an expedition camper for our u1300 Unimog. Our plan was to spend a few years in Central and South America doing volunteer medical work and surfing. We love our truck, but our family is growing and it...

Specing out some dimensions on my camperband trying to figure out minimum acceptable distance between cab and camper as well as minimum acceptable distance between cab and cab-over (roof). The truck will be an f-550, 161.8 wheelbase, and the camper is a composite cabover (with very rigid, no...

Hey All, Heather and I are in the midst of I guess what you'd call it a pivot. We are most of the way done with our camper, and recently finished rebuilding our unimog 435. However, life changed, and we are now looking at more shorter duration, longer distance trips (I.E. driving a few hundred...

Hey all, Heather and I have been about the forum for awhile, you can see our build here Our composite camper is close to being finished, but we are really considering switching out our base vehicle for something less extreme. We love the Mog and we've gotten it into amazing condition, but our...

Hey All, Onto the final layout stages on my camper. We've been debating power sources for a while now. While the lead acid is a proven technology, the drawbacks are considerable, atleast to my mind. And given that some of the big manufacturers, Blissmobil and Unicat, offer or insist on LiON, it...

Anyone have any experience with travel/expedition electric guitars? Speedsters vs Austin Hatchet versus a host of others. We are leaving on a two year trip from California through Central and South America with long stops on beaches and are planning on doing a lot of recording while on the road...

Nice ambulance box from u1300. Interior panels stripped, has a basic set up now with carpet, bedframe shelf. I cannot deliver. Pass through cut from box to cab in front. I have the original steel if someone would like to replace it. Some bar 1.5″ rectangle steel re-inforcement welded in...

We've made quite a bit of progress on our camper, and have found a local builder to make a bare composite box for us that we will outfit. We need a flat bed to set said camper on. Saw this thread with a few flat bed examples...

We are in final stage discussion with a builder, but are still stuck on whether to do a cab-over design which would leave us taller but shorter length-wise, or a non cab over that would extend out the back, leaving us short height-wise, but long. Either design would have a hard sided lifting...

Any reason our camper door can't be on the drivers side? Clearly, most N. American Campsites are geared for exit/awnings on the other side, which could be fixed by backing in. But any other concerns? It works with our build scheme much better and avoids relocating fuel tanks and mufflers, but...

How beneficial is the second spare? We are trying to design around carrying a small motorcycle on back, along with one, possibly two spares. We'll be provisioned for tire repairs. Having not over landed our rig much yet, I really don't know how frequently we should expect tire problems and the...

Hey All, I think we've decided to ditch our ambulance box in favor of a composite solution for multiple reasons. We are considering a pre-built solution that's substantially more than we'd budgeted, but are wondering if there are any independent builders making Nida-core style composite...

Hey All, We are finishing up the welding on our Unimog pass through right now. We went quite large on the pass through with heavy cage reinforcement on both sides. Wondering outside of the commercially available accordion boot stuff that comes up high in each search (the thin rubber one with...

Searched the forum a bit and didnt really see a definitive thread on the best stove out there for longer trips, week or two away from the grid at a time. We are travelling from the states to South America. Originally considered the coleman duel fuel because I figured unleaded would be...

Hey All, Truck in hand and in the initial phases of build planning. We have a unimog 1300 with a nice ambo box in back. I'm 6'6" tall, so Heather felt pretty sure over a year, I'm gonna be cramped in a regular box. We both really don't want an 11' plus truck, so it seems some sort of pop top...
