I enjoy electrical systems and have build a few of my own lithium batteries and my westfalia has a DIY lifepo4 system. I'm looking forward to that aspect of the build. A ways away yet though! On that topic.... Is the cigarette lighter socket in the cab on these 12v or 24? I see a that the...

Yeah it was, I have no idea when, it's an odd mix of things sprayed red and things not sprayed red! Perhaps Geser did it during the build? There's a good number of original build items not red, so that's why I think it was done when the truck was new. As to why... I have no idea. The exhaust...

The habitat electrical system will be either 24 or 48v. Only 48v as I might have a lead on some very affordable (free) batteries and inverter.... Otherwise I'll go 24v. I woke up to a picture of the RORO ship sent by my dad, it's docked in the UK a few miles from his commute so he swung by to...

Good to know, my Dad is flying out to join me for the cross Canada road trip. Would save me some shipping. I'll have a look, thank you.

I understand your concern, but I'm quite happy to go over this myself and wait for the parts. With the especially good condition of this vehicle, and my interest in learning every bit of it, I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else. As I'm making my own 4pnt habitation subframe, I don't...

I knew I wasn't going mad, I found it on the VIN Decode, option M89.

Oh I don't know why I thought it was a flame starter, I must have seen something somewhere.... I don't recall. Do 42" tyres fit between the rails? I assumed that the bigger tyres wouldn't fit. I don't have room anyway, unless I ditch the winch. English user manual! Where did you find that...

I do get what you're saying. My initial plan was to cut down a full DOKA cab, which I figured would need extra weight for the cab suspension to work properly as it isn't loaded with firefighters. I'll have to look up the specs for our cab, if it could even handle the weight. The height on top of...

Yeah good thinking, I am trying to keep it as short as possible so some small e-bikes in a small garage was the plan. And possibly the spare on the cab roof, although I am undecided on that one. I don't love the centre of gravity being any higher than it needs to be. Emailed! Let me know what...

She is a Beauty! Very nice work. That is very helpful to know about the rust, I will check that area and perhaps apply a wax treatment even if there is no rust (yet). Were your seals leaking just a little, or a lot? Did it stop you driving or just something you had to address? I've got 5000km...

It took a long while, but I found my ideal spec truck. I haven't seen any other with this spec, and I couldn't be more excited it is on its way across the Atlantic. I'll keep a log of the build here, and share any useful knowledge I gain as I have learnt from others on this forum. 1992 1120AF...
