Simon - Did you get rolling? When you visited my house to look at my Fuso you saw my Porshe 914 EV with its 94 100 Ahr LiPO cells and BMS issues. I have a bit of experience on this subject. Look at http://www.evalbum.com/4059 I have considered combining both starting loads and house power...

I ran across this slide as I was cleaning out my mom's home and thought you guys might appreciate it. This was take in 1966 on a family camping trip to the Olympic National Park in Washington. The night before we were deluged in a rainstorm and everyone in the tent woke up floating on their...

Amen Brother! It looks great after all that effort though! ********

We got the new camper! We actually picked it up in May and camped in it for a week getting back to Oregon. It fit the remodeled flatbed perfectly which was a huge relief since I hadn't been able to pull a tape on the new box while I was building the truck 1200 miles away from Hallmark's shop...

Well its been a while since I update this and a lot has changed so time to do it! I posted in the Pop-up camper section that our camper was hit by a hit and run driver when we are on our way home from Overland Expo West 2017. The short version of the story is that the camper was ultimately...

We've been known to stop at a winery (or several) in our travels and occasionally buy a bottle (or several) to go. We have also been known to camp at wineries but that's another post. We unfortunately had some spoil from the heat of our big storage box behind the cab so I found a wine shipping...

Welcome to the world of FG owners! This is a great resource for getting answers to your questions...they all helped me and still do. We all look forward to seeing what you do with your rig and helping where we can. ps - Kerry is right. It sounds like you might be having it shipped which is a...

Ranchero - I had heard somewhere along the line that that the 4x4 Transit conversions that Newberg Ford is selling use a lot of factory Ford parts from 4x4 F series pickups. Is that true? If so, that seems like it should be a pretty tried and true product and there should be some aftermarket...

I suspect that most of your trays are 7 feet wide based on my experience finding a camper for the Fuso. One thing to watch for is US campers are typically 8 feet wide. Four Wheel Campers and Hallmark are notable exceptions, both of these are 7' wide. FWC has been making flatbed (tray)...

We had an XC70 and it was the best snow car and family road trip vehicle that we ever had. It also survived both of my kids learning how to drive in it (and more importantly, so did they!). The bad news was that every time we drove by a Volvo dealer it seemed to cost us at least $1k for...

My Hallmark was bolted down and the next one will be as well. I used fender washers above the floor and below the deck of the flatbed to avoid a pull out issues. I also had some aluminum angle "clips" bolted to the flatbed at each corner "just in case". When the camper got hit it shifted...

We may go to NWOR. Not sure yet. We are discussing going to BC instead for a change of scenery. It would be interesting to compare your K2 interior to the flatbed model. I think we both would be surprised by how open this one is. It was eye opening to meet with the shop guys at Hallmark...

I can see this van from my place and it looks nice! I was hoping to watch the build from here. Hate to see it go. Good luck with the sale! Buckstopper

Progressive covered it as part of the comprehensive policy on the truck. It was listed on the policy and I declared a value for it when I got it. My agent says to just let him know when I get the new one and what it costs and he will add it to policy. They were pleasant to work with but had a...

If anyone is interested in trying to swap a 2 speed T case from a 2005 FG I have one. A long and very expensive story but we replaced the transmission and the only way I could get a new one was with a new T Case married to it. The old T case along with the tranny is in Las Vegas, NV and has...

I have carried a battery powered saw in my truck for years. It is a Ryobi 40 Volt. I am sure that the newer Stihl or other manufacturers make a better saw now. I got that one because we had other electric yard tools with same battery at the time so I could swap batteries between tools so...

Our truck was hit by a hit and run driver on our way home from OEXPO 17 last May. They hit the right rear corner of the camper traveling from the front and basically tore the jack and bumper assembly off the back of the camper. In the process it damaged both side panels as well as the rear of...

I like it. How long will it be? A cabover would work with a Fuso with a flatbed and give space under the cabover for storage. On the licensing - Its different in every state. In Oregon it isn't the flatbed, its the weight. Under 9900#GVW is a "car"regardless of what it looks like (ie. a...

We are going to be late arriving. We lost 5th gear in Tonopah NV and had to be towed in to Las Vegas (gota love AAA!). Turns out they had to air freight a replacement tranny. The last part is expected to arrive at 10:00 AM tomorrow then we will drive from LV to Flagstaff. Probably arrive in...

Just curious who's heading to Flagstaff? We will be there. Any other FUSOs? It looks like the weather is much improved over the mud fest 2 years ago...I'm still picking Mormon Lake mud out of my chassis from that adventure. It looks like the venue is a vast improvement. Buckstopper
