oops, just saw that other post, sorry, but I am still interested in some info on these XZL's.

how easy is it to get these XZL's? I tried for a year to buy some from the US, and Canada and could not find them, yet you Aussies all have them, what gives, I had to go with a completely different set up, but I am surprised about that wear comment, how much mileage are they good for? And what...

so, 10,000lb's, is that truck rated for that?? My last trip, 6000+ miles, and I got 16.7 mpg imp. at an average speed of around 62 mph, the weight only affects hill climbs so its not really an issue other than thats why I bought the fuso, I could of continued to totally overload my westfalia...

just out of curiosity, what would a 5 ton ford or dodge or other make get for fuel consumption? What do some folk on this site with a camper on their truck get for mileage, I know my brother in law with his f350 , when towing his fifth wheel gets abysmal mileage, s how are oth3er units doing??

very cool truck, but the top heavy question comes to mind, what is everyones take on these rigs that are very tall, i really tried to keep my weight low and profile low, I see many very tall rigs, especially mogs with campers on the back and wonder what its like off road, especially off camber...

Had to get in on this, where are all the FG's?? Long weekend get away up to Tulameen and some lakes in the area. Just starting up the Youngsberg FSR (Forestry Service Road) to Clifford lake in BC. recent rains but not big puddles half way up, break time for the dog. Ok , why dont pics...

looks like a romantic excursion, but here are the sad facts, these things guzzle gas, some simple math; 7000 litres for an endurance of 22 hours= 318 litres/hour, or if a litre costs $1.35 p/litre= $430 Per/hour just in fuel just to travel around 120 miles, then add lots of oil, lots of...

looks good FGobsessed, that looks like a good platform to work with, the price seems good to me, but I think that the 2005's have lower power than the newer models, and with all that stuff on it, I would imagine it would be close to gross weight. With that being said, you might find it...

gas conversion?? did I read that right , its got a gas conversion?? What the.... is that about? Any body know?

Labrador city Labrador city and Wabush, used to be two places because of the two mines, each operated by different companies, the iron ore is railed to the town of Sept Iles (Seven Islands ) where they are processed into pellets and shipped. The two companies used to be Iron Ore of Canada and...

walls Doin_It- the walls are made of close to 1/8" fiberglass finished both sides with a gel coat of my colour choice, (light grey out, white inside) that is laminated to a fiber honeycomb that is filled with polyurathane foam. The walls as you can see in this pic are nicely finished, no need...

weight Just some thing I saw on the website, the weight of one of these rigs with furniture shows around 1540 lb's, I think most people always under estimate the weight of materials, whatever construction type you use, it will become heavy, if there is framework needed, insulation, interior...

windows All the windows are double pane, a small company in BC made them up for about 1/3 the price of any one else, came with screen. Co. name SunView Ind. The walls, as far I know are supposed to be R7 per inch thick, so I wanted to keep it well insulated all around, i do alot of winter...

moose i had to laugh at your moose remark, i just recently finished doing alot of driving in Ontario around Lake Superior, and it seemed that almost every mile there was a sign to watch out for moose, I drove day and night, several hundred miles and never saw a single one. I dont think they...

frame to deck mounts Thanks for that, I will try them. Here is my set up for the deck mount, very simple. It is made up of six spring mounted brackets, three per side, with a main, forward - back preventer near the rear wheels, and side load preventers near the front. This is the...

good enough Ventilation was next, installed a fantastic fan, I had to cover it with cardboard while the sika dried, hot day! These fans are powerful so i needed some makeup air, I found this vent at a marine store and installed it, but it wasnt enough. So I found this storage door at my...
