    My camper ideas, thoughts, and plans...

    I have an Indel marine top loader. Front Loader spills all the cold air when the door is opened. Top loader is easier on batteries. Indel avail in US but made in Europe so might have good service abroad. I have a Wallas diesel stove and it has worked well up 12,000 ft so far even though...

    F750 4x4

    I've driven a custom camper on a 1993 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 120,000 miles and a custom camper on a 2004 Fuso FG 4x4 12,000 so far. I thought the 1993 was perfectly comfortable. A little choppy on I 10 if I had too much air in the rear tires for the load (don't let the dealer set your air...

    Some nice ideas. Don't let the drop down for the shower ruin your departure angle.

    7.5 minute resolution topo software?

    Where can you down load the points of interest data? I'm looking for ALL the national forest campgrounds. Delorme has a lot of them, but they are missing enough of the ones that I am familiar with to make me doubt their completeness.

    possible start for fuso rig?

    The only Fwd model imported is the FG with either a 109 or 133 in wb. This appears to be a 109 in wb with a gvw of 12,000 lbs. The same wb as a jeep grand cherokee but with a payload of 6500 lbs after you remove the dump body and snow plow gear. It's probably a 1999 mfg'd in 1998. They...

    FG buildup

    Turns out that you can measure the height of the center of gravity pretty much the same way you can on a sailboat. Weigh it level and then tilt it and weigh it again. All you need is a truck scale and a couple ramps like people use for oil changes to create the tilt. But in this case all you...

    FG / cab over air seats

    Is the passenger "suspension seat" a standard item? My Fuso came with a suspension seat on the driver's side only. The passenger side is a 2 person bench with the fold down clip board. Or is that a drivers side seat that was mounted on the passenger side after removing the passenger bench...

    The Quigley Buildup

    Sounds like a plan. We have an Aquajet ES and like it very much. Get the vibration damper (coil of flexible hose) so it doesn't transmit vibration to the tank and any rigid plumbing pipe and fixtures. A marine hot water heaater is a good idea. The engine will heat the water as you drive. We...
