I have been toying with the idea of shipping a motorcycle to Spain for a bit of touring. I would plan on about a month for the next few years. Amy thoughts on a reasonable priced way to get the bike there? Any suggestions on a shipper? Any issues using a US tagged bike there?

Ok, I installed a combo washer/dryer in our truck. I was not able to find an external vent that I liked. I would prefer a small door that flips open to expose the vent. Anyone know of anything like that?

So in my ever so slow learning of our truck I now realize Mercedes included a tire inflation port as standard. Included with the truck when new was an inflation hose, but we didn't get it when we bought our truck. Now looking at the manual this factory original hose screws onto a rubber capped...

So, since this is the first truck I have ever owned that has an exhaust brake I have a question. I use the brake frequently, but especially when I am at higher RPM I notice the throttle pedal automatically depress while exhaust braking. First, is this normal and if so does anyone know why it is...

Hey all, so while doing our parabolic spring swap I took the quick, dirty and inexpensive route in replacing our worn out shocks with standard Monroe truck shocks. I knew at the time that they were not the right or best option but trying to get the truck going and livable helped make the...

Hey all, I am considering trying to DIY a version of a GuzzleH2O (to pull water from a stream). It looks like a really nice setup but at $950 is a bit out of our budget. Unfortunately the compact LED UV sterilizer they use is not available to the general public (I contacted the company and they...

Our LN2 did not come with a snorkel, and I am curious as to how they work with the hood flap. On our truck there is a metal intake beneath the flap that theengine air is pulled in from. I am guessing the snorkels somehow attach to those. Anyone that has a snorkel have time to snap a couple of...

Well, a new problem. Today the column Lock is acting up and not allowing me to remove the key. Kind of a problem as our headlights are always on (guessing it is from firetruck days). Plus our truck will not start unless you turn the key all the way off, the only way to restart now is the remote...

In my quest to completely understand the cooling system on our 1120 I am pondering the visco fan. Why? Well a strange thing happened yesterday while essentially idling down a 10 mile gentle sloped corrugated dirt road. 3rd gear left the revs pretty low but with enough braking to slow the truck...

Hi guys, well we seem to be losing coolant. I have spent time working around the engine and have not seen any leaks. I also keep watch beneath the truck for any leaks and so far nothing. I do not notice a white smoke once warmed up ( though I do notice in the cold morningswhen we start up). The...

Ok, so our manual says our transmission and transfer case takes SAE 80, 80 W or 80W/85W ( in hot zones SAE 90 or 85w/90. So what oil are you using (and it needs to be available in the USA)?

Hello, I am getting close to finishing my DIY Webasto furnace install. I say DIY because I bought the standard diesel truck coolant heater and have collected the parts needed. I have pretty much everything installed and am now wiring. Our heater came with a simple 3 wire lit toggle switch for...

This is a hypothetical question about towing our truck. If someday down the road we need a tow would we need to remove the drive shaft to protect the transmission? On our transfer case we have a PTO and on the high/low range switch there is a "neutral". My guess is when you want the PTO you...

Hey guys, we are considering adding a winch to our truck. I know nothing about winches and have never used one. Our truck is coming in around 19k lbs and is 24v. Sherpa4x4 in Australia seems to have some pretty good pricing and can supply either a 25k lbs or 17k lbs 24v winch with synthetic...

Does anyone know of an headlight upgrade for a ln2? Ours are pretty dim and would like something way brighter.

Hi all, if I attempt to shift before the engine revs drop I will get a little grinding. Have taken to shifting very slowly but is there some form of adjustment that needs to be done to correct this or is this expected? Would be nice to shift more quickly when needed.

Hi all, I bought a Webasto Thermo Top C furnace for the habitat on our truck. This is a truck engine pre-heater and as such the plug did not include the pin for the heat exchanger fans (the pin is on the furnace, and there is a space for it on the plug but it is empty). Anyone know where/how I...

Hi all, I am sort of used to a fast turn signal blink being a burned out bulb. Well, I have checked and the front, side and rear blinker and all are working (though the dash light indicating the turn signal is out, but works with the flashers). I did replace the rear tail lights with LED ones...

Hi all, I am looking for a folding grab bar for our entry door. What I am seeing out there for the normal RV looks a bit flimsy and way larger than what I want. Anyone know of a source of a smallish heavy duty version? Sorry for the less than side on photo, it is the only one I have right now.

Hey all, I am looking for a very small stainless steel sink for our build. In the perfect world it would be rectangular, about 9" deep and about 12" long. I have done the typical Google searches including image search, but have yet to find anything. Anyone know of where I might find something...
