Guess I'll do a bit more thinking on it but the stack will cause the box to have to be set back a bit farther. I have planned on using a TC box and I would suspect I would need to protect the fiberglass wall a bit from the heat. Also, while at idle the flapper clanks. We have had possession of...

Thanks Nick, one ours after the silencer there is a flex pipe, which then turns 180 degrees to just behind the cab. Then then stack with the flapper at the top. I'll switch to the dump pipe you mentioned.

Hey all, we just picked up our "new" 1120 AF and I have a question about the exhaust. Ours is equipped with stack with one of those flappers at the top to keep rain out. I want to switch is out to one that exits below the truck and was wondering how it is normally done in these trucks.

Started the day on the mooring, dinghied in with the folding bikes, rode the 4 miles to the Enterprise agent. Hired a car and drove about an hour and a half to the Brunswick GA port. After a brief security check and escort to the truck it was ours! Took a bit to get it started as whoever moved...

Well it is official, our truck is now in Brunswick GA and has cleared customs. We have rented a car for Thursday to drive up from Florida to get it. We were sort of caught off guard as it was supposed to take 3-5 days to clear customs and it happened in a couple of hours. So, we are still about...

We had a 12k portable AC unit for our sailboat in Malaysia. Really did not work that well, after thinking about the design it is always venting air outside. Which means it has to pull in a like volume of outside air in. We had a 7k window unit in Guatemala and it worked well (it could...

About heating water, my plan is to replace the 110v ac heating element with a 12v dc one. Hook up a dedicated solar panel/charge controller. The Webasto will handle the coolant circuit. The engine is tempting but not sure i want to tap into the coolant circuit (though this is how our boat...

Well you asked for an opinion :) 1) Li is interesting but I am coming from a sailing background and just finished sailing around the world. I mention this because of replacement of Li batteries in remote areas would likely be very difficult. We use 6 Trojan T125 6V wet cell batteries and have...

Our truck has started its trip across the Atlantic so hopefully by the end of the month we can take delivery! https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:728140/mmsi:564362000/vessel:564362000

We are in the same process (1988 MB 1120 AF). We are registering the truck in the state of Vermont. All it took was printing/filling out a form available online, then sending the tax and registration check (from Puerto Rico). We just received the plates and registration yesterday mailed to...

Hey Mark, I am also interested in getting something like this. Although I would prefer paper I can live with a digital version. I just checked Ebay and I see workshop manuals in DVD (do not say EIC though) format that claim to handle all models, but the listed models seem to be cars. Would you...

Thanks Tobias, mind once you find the offset to let me know?

Hi Mike, your starting point needs to be you figuring out your "electrical budget". Take all the consumers (this case the espresso,blanket and lights plus anything you will charge via the socket) and add up the required amps needed. Then figure out how large of a battery bank will be needed (it...

Hey Andreas, your truck looks great!

Thanks for the pointers and good idea for a start on a spare parts kit.

Hey Tobias, I am in the process importing an 1120 into the USA. I think you also have the 8 lug rims. Mind sharing any info on the rims you are considering?

Truck is now in Bremerhaven Germany where on the 27th it will be loaded on the ship that will take it across the Atlantic. As a side note, we are just now returning (currently in the Bahamas) from sailing around the world. We live on the boat and do not own a house in the USA. I mention this...

The first step in getting the truck to Georgia has been completed. The seller delivered the truck to the port in Sweden where it will be loaded onto a ship bound for Germany. Once there is will be transferred to another ship for the Atlantic crossing. Now after Lowly's mishap with the air brakes...

Hi guys, they are posters here, Neil. Hope all works out ok for them.

Hey Andreas, thanks for the ARB awning idea. Just looked at the ARB Aluminum 2500mm and it looks to be just what I was looking for. One question, how did you mount it to your panels? I saw on the ARB video they have a captive bolt head track, but in your case it seems like it would be better to...
