It's an way to smash up your dash and break your windscreen. It's not the kind of mistake you make twice. I used to keep the wheel nut wrench behind the seats until an old timer schooled me. I used to have a Leyland roadrunner and thought that the glass footwell panel seemed like a good idea...

I have no need for dehydrated beer, but spending a while travelling in America certainly changed my opinion of US beer. For every yuengling, coors and miller, there's hundreds of word class microbreweries producing beers that are easily as good as many of those found in Europe. My only...

If tyres in this size are so difficult to find, perhaps it is best to change to a more common size now?

but the foden IMMLC 8X6 is more fun

Hi Steinez, I thought that you might be interested to see that the British MOD is auctioning off a load of incomplete BV206 for sprares or repairs. http://www.mod-sales.com/tender/listing.htm Lots 107 - 136 My guess is that they wont fetch huge bids. Hope this helps you. Nick

I was of course talking figuratively. Anyway, what's the point in having 18 tonnes of GVW if you can't have a ceramic butlers sink?

I can see the attraction of being able to drive out into the boonies for a few days with your toys, but it's not really a practical proposition for an extended long distance trip. Most travellers seem to prefer the freedom of a more practically sized rig, and are willing to sacrifice having the...

The tank on my truck (about 450 litres) lasts us around 10 days to 2 weeks if we aren't being too careful and with this capacity we rarely have trouble filling up. In the US we mostly filled up at camp grounds in state parks or national parks, often we just asked nicely and didn't even have to...

Festo is an old name used by festool tools. To me it looks like a simple air cleaner for a compressed air system, perhaps for separating oil and water?

It looks like a lot of space on a small platform, but surely there's the potential for a simple problem that immobilises the truck and means that you can't drive the truck out from under the camper to fix it?

the twin steer 3 axle configuration used to be called a Chinese Six in the UK, so that will bring up lots of search results

How about a foot pump? Whale make some cheap and reliable ones which are used and sold all over the UK. I guess there's comparable items for sale in the US. http://www.whalepumps.com/marine/product-application-items.aspx?Category_ID=10016&FriendlyID=Manual-freshwater-galley-pumps

That catalogue page is from a UK distributor called Albert Jagger. They're a great source of general commercial vehicle body building equipment. I have an account with them so let me know if you get completely stuck.

What's the plan for the truck? A 20kw generator is surely too big for running a motor home? The bores will glaze running a few air con units.

I guess they couldn't risk the dinosaurs damaging a $500k G-wagen 6x6

I'd be interested to find out what kind of traveller can't fit everything they need in a double storey 10 meter long, 3 axle truck, and needs to take trailer too!

mine does similar, if not a little less, with 510,000km on it. Not an exciting engine to drive but certainly a well designed one.

great video and truck. I'm sure you'll rack up more great memories in it.

That'll be Rob Pickering's yard. You can get your fix with Jay Couch in Denver too.

From memory I saw vitrifrigo fridges, although they may have had Waeco units. Most of the decent compressor fridges use danfoss compressors so it's just a matter of choosing a fridge with good insulation and robust construction.
