He's in Tejas, not Californicate. I, personally, would not trade my Europa Int'l 2000 G500 for any of the newer ones, except, possibly if MBUSA were to bring in a diesel; but that is not going to happen.

I have decided to put my 2013 Kimberley Karavan X-Series up for sale. We just do not use it enough to justify the investment and the yearly maintenance costs. All problems have been fixed and numerous improvements have been made. It is a better unit than what left the factory in Ballina. I...

It is.

Production started on the Gwagen in Graz, Austria 39 yrs ago today, 9 February 1979. Happy Birthday Gwagen!

It's very simple. There is no North America Service for Kimberley products. I do any needed service myself. Also, the company is currently under Court Ordered Administration -similar to, but not exactly like, Receivership in the US. DUTCH also a Kimberley Karavan Owner

Golden and is wife are now in Alabama running a repair shop called Golden Garage.

With all that extraneous metal, I wonder how much it weighs.

Scott, As the member who advised your management team member about the problems with Mastodon, I have to say that the whole advisement process would have been a whole lot easier if you had some way to contact the EP management team listed somewhere on the forum. As it worked out in this...

This is the setup in the boot of my Kimberley Karavan. 1.) Webasto ThermoTop 2.) Glycol Reservoir 3.) Heat Exchanger for room heating.

Yes. I pulled our Kimberley Karavan with our Audi Q7 on the Burr Trail without a problem this past October. The Muley Twist Canyon switchbacks were a piece of cake. Since the county paved most of the length of the Burr Trail a few years ago, it is not as interesting as it once was.

Daurie, PM me your VIN; and I can tell you exactly what came on it from the factory and possibly the year it was made. Fwiw, the steering wheel on your truck is older than a 1986, but the VIN can tell you a lot. The VIN will be stamped into the outside of the right front frame - visible...

Chris, Thanks for taking out the trash!

Daurie, I'm really sorry that he took you to the cleaners so badly; and I doubt if you'll get anything out of his bankruptcy settlement. The missing parts are probably mostly available, but at a very high cost to make the truck right. All the best with it.

Did you notice that EP has removed them from sponsor of this forum; and Tim and his wife have filed for bankruptcy protection in Alabama. That's a pretty good distance from their liabilities Colorado.

The owners of Mastodon Motors, Tim Golden and his wife, have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in Alabama. See here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63a341tf8trmfdk/018135438787.pdf?dl=0 I hope not too many folks have lost their deposits because of this. He is now doing business as Golden...

What is a "dry bath"?

Keep an eye out. I've been giving thought to selling my 2013 Kimberley Karavan, and the right offer could take it. All the factory glitches have been fixed and several upgrades have been done. It's better than when it left the factory and at a lower price.

If you compare the two sites carefully, the 4x4 ORC units have curved tops. The ones from the Defender site do not; and my 2000 G500 definitely has the curves at the top of the window frame. Also, I would trust ORC to get it right over the Defender website.

The Australian Kimberley Karavans and Kruisers, as well as other campers down there, use the Webasto ThermoTop for hot water and space heating. I have one in my Kimberley Karavan and it works quite well. Space requirement is quite small and it is very thrifty with diesel fuel - two gallons...

Thank you. It's good to see that you removed the sponsorship link to that outfit.
