Easy to do yourself. 2 bolts to losen for the adsorber, but you might also losen your torsion bar at the back. 8 small bolts to losen as well. Be carefull with fastening the small bolts that you don't break them. Bought them at the Merc dealer. Not cheap, 250 €/piece, reenforced chock...

New shock-adsorbers. Ours past also every time without any problem MOT, but we've experienced the same as what you discribe. After chainging the shock-adsorbers, the problem was solved. Also the persons traveling in the back said the comfort was a lot better.

Try a European secondhand truck parts dealer. For instance http://www.braem.com/en Good luck!

We've made a bigger fuel tank ourselfs and placed it with new home made supports at the same place as the original. Now we take 225 litres of diesel along.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOPG3tMKCQs It's a ventilation kit on the thetford toilet reservoir so you do not need to use chemical products to eliminate the smell. We've installed it to and it works fantastically.

OKAY!!!! And now time to hit the roads.

There was a whole internet site about the truck and the travels they made www.birkert-reisen.de, but seems that the site doesn't exist anymore.

Congratulations and good luck with the build.

Ours has originally 17,5 inch wheels. When they are mounted, the speedo gives the correct speed. (really correct, because it is calibrated) With our 19 inch wheels, the speedo gives less than in reality (about 7% off).

Nice! It always looks so easy on film. :-) But we also have the experience that an easy looking passage on film can be very scary while driving it for the first time.

This is the kind of attache This is the kind of rail I have The canopy is hooked to the attache with this The rail and the attaches stay always on the truck. So to fix the canopy, it's just hooking in.

This is how we do it. Just a airline rail on the outside with attaches and than a canopy. No problem with branches ore anything while driving and put up just as fast.

I know him to and he makes really beautiful and good vario campers. This is his own camper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWS0-KsoQ30

Nice illustrations. But don't you go a bit to far behind the back wheels? (large overhang)

One more I saw on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvPwWQZ3NFk

If I don't mistake, this one was build by twigatravelcars. He was completely white before and was build for the former owner off the company himself. There used to be a whole topic with pictures about the build of this camper on their site, but I see now that the new owners have changed the site...

Thanks! Yep, 19,5". We got them via a firm ( www.twigatravelcars.nl ) from gabo in the Netherlands ( http://www.velgenopmaat.nl/ ).

We made a new Aluminium tank with a capacity of 225 litres. But ours is not a kastenwagen.

The disadvantage of having the space, you take everything along you might have use off. :-)
