    Fuso, International or Cummins

    Wow, it sounds like that thing is falling apart, what items have failed on you or broken? I have been using mine hard, 07 FG but only have 40,000km on it and nothing has come up at all! Please let us know what has failed, I have yet to hear from anyone about the FG having major breakdowns...

    Small camper

    I think thats a typo there, 3,800 lb's?? Must be 8,800lb's right? Which is real good! I looked hard at the Sprinters and even was waiting to see if a four wheel drive sprinter was going to make it over to NA but got tired of waiting, The Sprinter has to be one of the best platforms for a...

    Replace stock shocks

    I had my stock shocks replace on my '07 FG with BFG shocks, the original shocks dont do much and what is really needed for these trucks is a shock that dampens the recoil or bounce back (maybe wrong term there) after compression. The BFG's start off OK but then fade out with use so a shock that...

    Camper mounting help

    Lee Springs have a huge selection of springs, before selecting one you have to have an idea of the travel needed and how much resistance, it can be a bit daunting to start but some main points to look for are the length of the spring at rest and at full compress, that will give you the travel...

    ventilation?

    The fantastic fan is a great product, what it has going for it is a very tight surround that allows it to literally suck all the air from inside, so with that, unless your rig is huge only one is needed, but the volume that it moves has to be replaced by another opening, ie, window, vent etc...

    Chilcotin BC Holiday

    On the road for Gang Ranch and Churn creek, the road was a mix of forest and opened up to rolling grassland. Black bear on the way. Down into a valley and over Gaspard Creek. And to Gang Ranch, at one time the biggest ranch in North America. Hoodoo along the way. To...

    Chilcotin BC Holiday

    Farwell canyon; I saw the place in my mapbook and it showed some hoodoo's and petryglyphs and it was on the Chilcotin river, so it looked like a good spot to go to, little did I know that it was to be the highlight of our trip and we ended up hanging around there for several days. here in no...

    Water purifying

    Thanks John, May 21 was when we were on our way south from Quesnel, you have a distinct rig there so I instantly determined that it was you, especially after we passed and I saw the bike with the cover on it on the back rack that you previously reported on. I would be soooo surprised if there...
