    1980 240GD Import

    You will find it to be GROSSLY under powered. A cross country trip would seem unendable. Parts are available, but are getting scarce to nla for some items. I would not want it for a daily driver. And, no, you would not be able to keep up with traffic on expressways. Also, a G that old from...

    Europa G320 at Mastadon...thoughts?

    An they sure are proud of it! Value is about half of what they're asking. Also, they're calling it a 2001; but it was delivered from the factory as a PUCH on 30 November 1999.

    Europa G320 at Mastadon...thoughts?

    It's VERY SIMPLE. You screwed over at least one of my friends, as well as others I've heard about. I will continue to share this info in the Gwagen community. Straighten up, fly right and be honest in your business dealings. As mentioned above, it will take much time; but your reputation...

    Best offroad trailer for a large family?

    The Kimberley Karavans will not sleep everybody in your group, unless you put them in tents on the ground.. Just a fyi.

    Europa G320 at Mastadon...thoughts?

    I just consider the source. At least he's not censoring or deleting posts to this forum - not yet, anyway. If you look, he doesn't post on P3; and there's a probably a reason for that. :victory:

    Europa G320 at Mastadon...thoughts?

    Word on another website is that they've physically upped and moved again. Running from something? CAVEAT EMPTOR!!

    Bruder Expedition Campers

    Since a good friend of mine was one of the two professors who reported cold fusion in 1989, I can tell you for certain that it won't work.

    ExPo build base advise diesel - G vs. G55 vs. G500

    It's only one example, but a P3 member has told me privately that he dumped his G63 because that 7-speed was giving him lots of trouble.

    ExPo build base advise diesel - G vs. G55 vs. G500

    My G500 gets 15 mpg at 70-75 on the Interstate all day long. The only time it drops to 8-9 mpg is when I am pulling my Kimberley Karavan behind at 70-75 mph.

    Mercedes G-Squared in DC

    They also too tall to fit in peoples' garages or in public parking structures. That probably explains more than anything as to why there are so many very low mileage used ones available.

    Mercedes G-Squared in DC

    MBUSA is obviously having a hard time selling them. There are bunch of them listed on Ebay, both new and used with very low mileage.

    NEW XO Trailer Jack from Ark -

    If you mean a hitch as opposed to the trailer jack, the best off-road hitch available is the McHitch from Australia. You can see one in the photo I posted above. Mine is the original design. He has a newer model available. http://www.mchitch.com.au/

    NEW XO Trailer Jack from Ark -

    Swivel Mounting Plate For anyone who is interested, attached is a PDF file of an engineering drawing of the ARK XO Swivel Mounting Plate. Dimensions are in mm. I installed one on my Kimberley Karavan, and it is far superior to what came from the Kimberley factory. Due to the configuration...

    Diesel power

    Chorky, The Webasto diesel ceramic cooktop has no diesel smell, as it exhausts outside. I just don't like residual cooking odors - especially frying grease - in my sleeping space. The Webasto hot water and space heater is the same unit that is sold in Europe to preheat cars in the winter. No...

    Europa G320 at Mastadon...thoughts?

    Europa only used North America VIN's on their G500's. They all start with WDBEG, which most likely stood for Werk Daimler Benz Europa G.

    Diesel power

    Very slow to heat up, very slow to cool down and hard to keep clean. Also, cooking inside the karavan stinks up the inside. I rarely use mine. I have used it as an additional space heater on cold nights; although that is specifically warned against in the user manual.
