    Its a big decision, but with the right mindset can be fun, mindset for me is something I like doing, as opposed to "having to do it", sounds too much like work if I have to do it! I say just commit to it and go for it, its only money anyway if something goes wrong, and can be a real learning...

    URY914, sorry for the late reply but I was on vacation. But to answer some questions; the height of the camper unit is around 20" above the cab when raised, and obviously I feel that the effort to have a lifting roof was worth the effort to me, I previously had a westy, so if you look at a...

    Taken from somewhere in this thread. "BaseCamp, the rims I had made from 'Stockton wheel' they are 19.5 x 8.25 and I have michelin XDE2+ mounted on them, I went with these due to the amount of paved road travel I do and the fact that they are good for alot of miles, I was looking at Toyo 303...

    Picked Up the New Isuzu NPS 300

    That looks great! I like the way the camper unit comes off the truck and becomes a cottage, great setup! What is the item above the settee window next to the door? looks like an airconditioner??

    Which bike would make a good "lifeboat" for a Unimog?

    Well I got that figure in Canada, it just seems like these bikes are rare here, new are over $5,000 and used, well I have been looking for over a year and I only found one for sale, a very unused fairly new one for $4,500. I have seen these on Ebay in the states more often and at way lower...

    Which bike would make a good "lifeboat" for a Unimog?

    I was talking with some moggers about just this topic, one of them had a rokon on the back of his mog, and they recommended the ct110 hi lo, rokon is not roadable, but the ct110 is, I started looking around for one but seems to be a little hard to find. On last weekend's trip I saw one teamed up...

    I was trying to avoid that question, I am a pilot, but used to be a contractor and have worked previously in the manufactured home and RV industry. I had no experience with composite materials, all I had was an idea, and pushed it through, so I guess i did learn as I went. The composit is very...

    Dropside tray size (advice)

    Another thing to consider would be what the camper would be constructed from, if alloy is used, then an alloy deck would prevent mixed metals and corrosion. My alloy deck doesnt flex at all, just depends on construction, cost might be a consideration too.

    Aeon Rubber

    I installed timbrens on the front to try to get a better ride, and the ride was some what improved as far as a bit more absorbsion by the timbrens, but, not much. My concensus is that the travel is limited overall in the front so that the timbrens compress a certain amount to slowly absorb the...
