    Its a dream but a good dream !

    Would it be a single or dual cab you're looking at? If it's a dual cab, converting an Isuzu may be worthwhile, it's what RC Truck Sales do, they keep the original motor (from memory). If it's a single cab you're looking at doing, why not buy an FG with the 4x4 system already in place? Spent...

    FG84 Camper Build

    Hey John, Hope you had a good Easter. Are you on break now? Heather knows more about what you're up to than I do, she follows Julie's facebook, says hello to you both. Yeah, it was after chat at Brads I took the idea. Getting the air out is going to be a bit more fun, I'll likely have to vent...

    FG84 Camper Build

    Feels like it's been slow going the last few months, but slowly making progress. I had family come over yesterday for an Easter BBQ, put together some extra pieces of the camper to show them direction we're going in. The seats/kitchen drawers are in place, adding in seat backs and conduit to run...

    Dodge Ram 5500 motorhome

    Just sized up my grey tank at 100l. I was planning on 400l of water, though currently sitting at 240l after I moved stuff around inside. Will add the other water outside later. I think you're in good hands getting the kinks ironed out. Better to find out now than getting stuck somewhere...

    FG84 Camper Build

    Thanks, I'm quite happy with the job Styromax did. Work on it was delayed for a bit with life (holidays, falling sick again, house/family stuff) but back plugging away at it again. Been doing a bit of re-work for things I didn't like, not things that made it really different but for aesthetics...

    All Terrain Warriors campers

    I'd received a similar PM from him, asking for blueprints on my camper. Not a Global Warrior, but the plans for this could be emailed to him

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    Wow, that's heartbreaking. Great that you could help him on starting the business, idea had potential. Truly sucks that was abused and you're in this position

    Any recommendations on pre built doors and windows?

    Suggest looking at http://www.outbound.eu/en/windows.php. Have thought of replacing the windows in mine a few times, these would be what I'd use. They're a little pricey but I think worth it (just from the ones I've seen). Otherwise Dometic Seitz

    Average overall height

    Welcome to the forum. Where are you based out of? I've got a 2010 canter 4x4, picked up around 2" lift from ATW super singles, 2" from their parabolics. Ended up at 2.55m for top of truck cab, 2.7 for top of camper when the roof's down, 3.3m when roof's up. Are you planning on a slide on...

    Dodge Ram 5500 motorhome

    Love how it's turned out, the wheel/tyre combination and AEV pieces really help make it. What's the first test run? Joe

    Importing expedition truck

    Interesting to see this thread revive. I think at the time I was planning on picking up a truck in Europe and going for a year or two before bringing it back to Australia. Found some places that could do a RHD conversion of Mercedes truck (not exactly cheap though), was a good option at the...

    I asked about a MAN truck advertised on his site. Was put in touch with the guy in London selling it. Wasn't able to import it into the US either, not old enough. Would be useful to know at least country vehicle is based in.

    Picking a vehicle what size

    You might be better off looking for a used Tiger/Sportsmobile/Four Wheel Camper to get started with, figure out what works, what doesn't, build based on what you actually need rather than think you need. Going straight to an LMTV I think is a huge step and quite surprising how fast it adds up...

    Picking a vehicle what size

    Need some details 1) Traveling by yourself, with partner, or partner and kids? 2) How long do you normally go for? Days/weeks/months/years? 3) Level of comfort. I went from a roof top tent to custom 4x4 motorhome for comfortable bed, toilet and shower. What do you need? 4) Budget? 5) US or...

    Need Opinions on New Rig

    It'll sleep 4 by default, but I'd be chatting to the Kimberley Karavan guys to see if they can add an extra bed in one. Fits the other criteria http://www.kimberleykaravans.com/ They've exported a few to the US before and with the currency difference makes it more affordable (not so for us...

    TerraLiner:12 m Globally Mobile Beach House/Class-A Crossover w 6x6 Hybrid Drivetrain

    Not sure if this has been bought up in the thread already. I was looking into DC motors for an electric car build I'm thinking about, came across these. http://reneweconomy.com.au/2013/australias-evans-electric-develops-in-wheel-ev-motor-93486 Company seems to be a bit quiet (the Evans...

    I heard they were scouting around for companies to help expand into Australia, wouldn't surprise me if they're doing the same for US
