Hi all, anyone know of a USA source for the springs for a rail-on-rail subframe? This is for our 1120 and the subframe is 16'x8' (roughly).

Sorry for all the posts but has anyone added a bracket for an A/C compressor to an OM366LA? I have been looking around the engine bay and things seem a bit tight. This is my first choice but if not possible I am open to suggestions.

Hi all, I have seen online a build that has removed the upper spring pack on a truck like ours. I am under the assumption that with the weight we will end up with we will never utilize those springs. Is this a good assumption and if so should I just remove them to save a bit of weight? I plan on...

I removed the firebox yesterday and in the process cut 2 Bowdon cables. I have since learned from a very helpful guy in Germany that these cables were for regulating the engine speed for the pto driven pump in the back of the truck. Once you cut those cables you need to adjust the idle as now...

Hey all, we just picked up our "new" 1120 AF and I have a question about the exhaust. Ours is equipped with stack with one of those flappers at the top to keep rain out. I want to switch is out to one that exits below the truck and was wondering how it is normally done in these trucks.

Hi all, well it is now official. We are the new owners of a 1988 MB 1120 AF. Working on setting up the shipping date but hopefully in about 6 weeks we will be able to take delivery in Georgia. Can't wait. Plans are a Total Composites Box with Tern Overland windows, doors and hatches.

Would anyone have a US source for 8 lug super singles for the MB trucks like the 917 and apparently the 1120. I just sent an email to Hutchinson in Germany in case they are not available here.

Well I have been doing a heap of web surfing looking for a MB truck and have found several in Germany that look pretty good. One thing that I still am stumbling on though is all the, seemingly infinite number of MB truck variations (and the lack of online info for them). So between the 9,10,11...

Hi all, still going round and round about which chassis to get for our expedition RV. Just looked at a 2010 Fuso FG and was a bit disappointed with the amount of rust (it might still work out but will be more work than I hoped). So, now I am rounding back to a MB AF truck. So, has anyone used or...

Hi all, hopefully by next week at this time I will be the new owner of an FG (based on my inspection). So, I am considering one of Kym's Discovery camper bodies for this but he might not be ready with a NA version for this spring. So, sort of my plab B (well before the Discovery idea this was my...

Here is a question about the new FG's in the USA. So, I already read about the auto transmission and all the emissions stuff. My intention for this truck would be world wide travel, say starting in about 2 years (first couple of years in North America). If there is anyone actively doing a world...

Hi, I am in the process of thinking through a camper build and at this point I think a cab over chassis truck (like a MB 917 or Fuso FG) would be a good base. I am then thinking a Total Composites shell. I really like what they are doing and seems like a great product. I also know that the...

Hi all, this coming summer I will begin the search for an expedition rv chassis. I plan to get a Total Composites box to put on it. I have been trying to research the various options we have in the USA. My goal with this RV will potentially be a round the world trip including shipping (this...

Hi all, got a question for you but first a bit of background. If all goes as planned by this time next summer my wife and I will be complete a trip sailing around the world. It has been great but we also love the mountains and want to give an expedition RV a shot. Before the sailing trip we...
