I have created what might be the first Vario specific Facebook group in North America. It's an attempted to support and connect a small but growing number of T2 and Vario owners in North America. Of course Vario and Transporter owners from around the world are always welcome! Here is a link...

Here's a photo of the big fella I bought. It is as an an unfinished restoration so it needed some work to get it running. It's in a shop in The Netherlands now, getting ready for RORO.

Fulda? Where are you located? What kind of handling problems did they have? I will search. Since I started this thread I've learned that although Unimog rims will fit, the offset is different and that may cause problems so perhaps Unimog rims isn't the answer. I am now looking at having GABO...

Very limited tire options for 19.5" and they are all delivery truck tires (At least in the US). No AT/MT tires exist in that size. The 19.5" I have are dual in the back so you can't air down. I'd also like to go singles in the rear to simplify the process of changing tires by the side of the road.

I’m trying to confirm if a 20” Unimog rim will fit a Mercedes 814DA. It currently has 19.5” rims on it made by GABO and I have heard they will fit but would like to confirm that the specs match. Can any of the Unimog experts on here confirm if there is any Unimog rims available with the same...

I’m currently in the process of importing a 1992 814 DA to the US. Happy to chat if you have specific questions.

I'll take that as a no. ? Well I'm in the process of importing am 1992 814DA to the US and I'm specifically looking for the hard-to-find Workshop Manual but any and all literature is most welcome! Let me know what you have!

Is there anyone located in the US that has a Mercedes 814DA?

What size tires do you have on there, Nigel? Are those 19.5" rims?

I'm about to do a dash upgrade in my vehicle to specifically take advantage of the QC 4.0 (Quick Charge) and PD 3.0 (Power Delivery) features for newer devices. More recent iPhones and iPads have a "fast charge" feature that is only triggered when plugged into a higher watt outlet. Most common...

Not entirely accurate. Read previous post. Antigravity Batteries and DCS both make under the hood starter batteries. The DCS battery (from Australia) is rated -13F - 185F. I suspect more manufacturers will jump onboard eventually as the work out the kinks.

Great! I will check this out.

If I'm not happy with it, I'll return it. That simple.

From experience I know I can’t rely on proximity to cell towers. That’s why I ordered the booster. I’m going to start off by trying to use my phone as hot spot for my laptop. If that isn’t sufficient I’ll look at adding a dedicated hot spot.

Very helpful, thank you!

I'm in the process of getting my vehicle set up so I can stay connected and work more remotely. I have a Weboost Drive Reach arriving today and I am considering also getting a Solis X Wifi Hotspot to use in conjunction with the Weboost so that I can get wifi to my laptop, which is my primary...

I'm about to put a dual battery system in my 1986 Mercedes 300GD. I have a CTEK D250SE that I plan to use to manage the house and starter battery. I also have a 175W solar panel that I plan to use with this system. Until recently I was going to go with two Odyssey PC-1500 (Size 34) batteries but...
