Be worth seeing if this ones for sale still http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/144816-Expedition-Ready-Unimog-u1300l-completely-rebuilt-Put-a-camper-on-and-go!

Depends on where you go and how you travel. Know people from both camps, those who've been traveling RTW and never needed one, others on local trails who use them regularly. I'm planning on 2 Runva 17500 with synthetic rope on mine, one front and rear. I hope never to use them except in helping...

Unfortunately delays are part of the process it seems. Think mine came in 2-3 months late for the shell, I'm about 5 months later than expected for being ready to use it, likely a few months still to go before up and running. Find that all that goes away when you've got it and are able to be...

I think it's exactly the opposite. Wife and I are planning a 2 year trip, spent a lot of time looking into materials, design to make it as light as possible but as comfortable as possible. Wanted to stay well within the design limits of the truck, for safety reasons and mechanical sympathy, but...

Is this as a replacement for current truck to build a camper on, or something different?

Looks like it's coming along very nice. Forgot about Expo, will be in Banff while it's on and AZ a couple of weeks later. Would have been good to say hello, have a look around

Been chatting with him offline. Sounds like it came down to three main things, a combination of bad luck (Webasto gear not working properly, later replace by Marc), batteries not being properly secured and moving, damaging a bunch of circuits (they're heavy buggers). And with the tray being hard...

What air conditioner are you using? There's a thread in the 12v section on air conditioners without using a generator, might be worth a look if haven't come across it already. I'm looking at putting in air conditioning in mine eventually, won't be running a generator though, purely off LifePO4...

Sure it can be. Get a Fuso, Morgan truck body & use their commercial doors on the side and at the back. Put in a skylight for internal natural light, a window above the truck cab (not as obvious there) to help with cross breeze inside, solar on the roof. Maybe add in a hydraulic lift at the...

Sounds like a fun project, lot of work ahead if you're building the panels yourself. Might be worth sending a query to Victorian (member on this site) asking what panels would cost, between opportunity cost and all the little pieces which add up, might be worth it. Couple of thoughts All...

Just read email from Michael, he's getting panels made up next month for the camper. Huge amount of design work gone into it, quite a bit of testing of different components. I'll send him a note, see if he'll chime in. Believe there's a documentary on the build process, similar to Grand...

Been following their progress for about a year, started before the company had been set up. Had multiple chats with them, met and talked about our trucks a few times. Quite a few neat ideas going into their build, but I'll let Michael share the details

Would be worth having a look at this thread too. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/141161-Possible-new-supplier-of-fiberglass-composite-panels-to-North-America Andreas (Victorian) has panels for the home builder to your design

Here's one install I've come across that shows base structure for panels. He didn't have much luck with his panels and ended up replacing them, but the roof theory looks sound. http://nortybits.me/2014/07/22/euro-line-solar-inflexible-apoloflex-mono-terminals/ I'm making a curved support...

Check out this review too https://nebula.wsimg.com/7f04fc03a9023ed7f27fb7f027916542?AccessKeyId=69CC3057D53E066A8205&disposition=0&alloworigin=1 I think having an air gap is a good idea. I'm mounting mine on thin aluminium composite raised up a couple of inches above the roof

Bit of a project, but very interesting looking http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-4WD-Offroad-Expedition-Vehicle-Pop-Up-Camper-Hunting-RV-VERY-RARE-/262255112237?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3d0f9f702d:g:cs0AAOSwGotWowIe&item=262255112237

It's not that hard to get used to. I came off a plane from Australia to Phoenix peak hour, first time I'd ever driven in the US. The hardest part is depth perception, figuring out where the wheels are relative to yourself. Took me 3-4 weeks to get acclimatized.

Have you seen the Magnum 240v inverters? Amazon has them listed

Quite a few of these becoming available. Look for Perentie 6x6. Isuzu turbo diesel engine with 4 speed manual
