Just the box might be about €20K, but then the subframe from another company, windows and doors from someone like Outbound (whose website lists prices), putting the complete empty box, painted, in place on the truck, extending the chassis to mount the spare(s) at the back maybe, another...

Hiya, lovely truck and good luck! The Ulrich book details his build and subsequent problems he had then overcame on using such a box. Plus two body builders are interviewed who use different approaches why they prefer what they do. Ally on the inside certainly makes it easy to fix things to...

And, sulphur in diesel will possibly dictate vehicle age and complexity depending on where specifically you want to go. I don't know how 100% accurate it is but the below may give you an idea, outside of 10-15ppm a dpf may not be happy? You could ask in the camper section here too?

100000km a year leaves no time to stop and look around. Fuel in Europe is something like €1 a litre at least. £1.19 nearest me now. You can't really sleep across the back of a Sprinter, tho you can put pockets in the side panels to increase width but still a bit compromised. Sleeping in it...

A Sprinter build I read today said it was 1700mm at floor level tapering to 1400mm at the ceiling just a bare metal van, no lining or windows? Some German posh camper builds in Sprinters add pods to the back to give decent acrosswise bed width, if it's any help first UK google search gives

I had a Series III Lightweight as a daily driver for about 7 years and sometimes had the spare 7.50R16 on the bonnet if I needed the space in the back. But that made lifting the bonnet/hood super heavy, and made a big difference to the weight of the unassisted steering. It didn't help visbility...

Tow bar, to give braking as well as pulling control.

It is certainly possible to mount an Espar type heater in a boats engine compartment though, and so not where there may be people asleep and susceptible to fumes if the unit failed? You could probably make a sealed (to inside, vented to outside) box inside a sleeping compartment so any fumes can...

I read a test a few years ago between an M5 touring and an RS6, IIRC the Audi made more torque at idle than the M5 made peak. I struggle to get my head around how it can be making that much power while still idling in the garage :) I'd still have the M5 tho.

Our previous camper had a cabover with the bed height to not allow sitting up. That roof height carried back meant a massive headroom at the rear. It had Ikea type bed slats and maybe 100mm of average foam mattress. While we were away my wife decided she couldn't sleep on it any more so we had...

We had an Eriba Troll just before and after our lil one could crawl which was a bit tight, and we set up some windbreaks around the door outside as a corral for him and the dog to have some freedom without entirely needing our attention.

In Bovingdon Tank Museum in the UK there is a 40's era truck with basically a concrete pill box on the back as a quick cheap piece of armour, a Bison according to www. So concrete for interior furnishing has probably been done before, assuming you can stop it bouncing around and out through...

We've used a Tentipi 9 ground tent since our little man was about one, now five. First tipi I've had after mostly geodesics. To pitch you first use 9 pegs and the measuring tape to get pegs in, then the tent hooked on, one centre pole up, tension straps to pegs, all up in a few minutes. Floor...

Hi Is there a list of current trucks this fits on? Specifically EU double cabs?

Hi Neil Did you think I meant all panels just glued on are imminently about to fly off?!? I did see some pics of I think a Fiat panel van where the brackets that did hold the solar panels on had come off. The adhesive holding the bracket to the paint was solid and intact (so correctly prepared...

A vid I think from here a while ago on an Australian truck build talked about having a recirculating system but straight from the shower tray. So, have a wash, use soap etc, sluice until dirt and soap gone. Plug in shower tray drain, add some water from heated normal system then use small second...

I know some Euro vans with solar panels just "glued" on had the panels come off with the paint, glue/Sika etc whatever intact.

Just regarding your transmission, a MAN Kat 1 from 1979 has no low range, a six speed manual box behind a torque converter, exhaust brake and diff locks (no front tho). First is slower than walking pace, exhaust brake holds it there. They were used in part for tank resupply, a German friend said...
