Last thing, what component would be the likeliest to be get damaged with continuous use with the wrong oil? Has anyone heard of such an event and what was the result? Seems to me like the additive is something one should be dragging along on trips just in case.

Thanks John and Diplostat, this fits with what I thought initially and really points to the dealer not being aware enough of the particulars of these trucks, I know they send certain mechanics for training but I think I ended up getting a newbie that did not know or put the effort into...

The dealer corrected it promptly at no cost, but I am not convinced that a limited slip diff can use regular diff oil, has anyone heard of that? Is that common?

I had almost forgotten about this until I read about the warranty thread which jogged my memory. After my trip I decided to have all my oils changed in the tranny, diffs, etc, after the service we took off for another small trip and started to notice the rear diff making some odd noises and...

Ah! I see, well that is too bad about a lifting roof, when I looked at this image if the sides came down lower and the roof was wider it would be fairly easy to mount some actuators on the outside of the box for the lift, with the sides of the roof meeting the sides of the service body it...

They are great in general, only thing to look for is to be able to switch it off, we carry them in the truck cab and they will turn on when dark so being able to turn them off would be good, they are sure cheap too and provide good light in the middle of the night. Keeping them in the cab also...

Hmmm, wonder what this place looks like now after Odile?

Mike, I couldn't figure out what you were talking about with the service body when we were out and about on the WABDR, but now it makes sense, looking forward to the build for sure. Did you ever consider having the roof structure have permanent walls that would extend down the outside of the...

If you have access to a welder to weld a bushing in there, even a thicker aluminum tube that the bolt can pass through and ride on, having the two beams will displace the weight and should work. It is difficult to come up with something that will not react with the aluminum for this. If it...

Congrats on the new rig! After I had my singles on I had a meeting with the NA Fuso rep about some warranty work and he liked my singles set up and did not seem to flinch about it, he even called me later to find out the particulars about the conversion for someone else!

Here's another one that google did, after a while I find it annoying. Then I like to look at a still shot, something to be said about still photography, of capturing a moment.... even if its with a cheap camera and unfocused.....

Hey Mr D, that was last year, I am with you in the rain now! I was mucking around on my gmail account and found some pictures from our trip that I downloaded on google plus and google had made a few of these moving picture montages, so I used google plus to host the pics I guess, instead of...

I have always liked that one. nice!

The one thing that looks suspect from the pictures is the pivot mount itself, the pivot bolt that passes through the aluminum cross member should ride in a bushing of some sort in my opinion, it is focal point for all the weight of the camper and deck that will be working constantly and over...

Bullet XV somewhere in BC

Not sure if this is going to work but trying out a new way of posting pics through google, if it works the first pic is our camp site at Agua Verde and the next is some kind of montage that google made, it is climbing out of Agua Verde, looks neat. looks like it works!

The walls for the bathroom will be the same concept as the camper walls, one slides inside and the other out. I have around 1/2" of gap between the roof walls and the walls, I believe that could be reduced to 1/4" and still have no issues with binding etc. I hear you about kitchen counters...

Wow! This was written in 2012, so the plot thickens huh! I read that write up and now we know who to blame, you dwh:sombrero: As I was reading your write up I was thinking about some responses to a few things...........maybe post them here instead of that older thread. Yes it is...

O man! I just saw this post from GXV owner Van Pelt and had to chuckle, no, laughed hard actually.:elkgrin: I decided to make a response on this thread because he will never visit it, doesn't even know it exists apparently.:wavey: So any way, the funny part is in his comment "We did not copy...

What? Those wheels were cleaned six months ago!
