The heater box is on the right side of the thermostat to tap into. It works perfectly. Once the engine is hot, I flick the switch on the dashboard to turn on the pump. This pushes water through the calories loop It takes 20 mins To heat it 15 ltr to max . If I also turn the rear pump on...

Mine is spliced into the the flow and return to the heater box under the dashboard. If I open the grill at the front then pipes are there right in front of you and easy to access and splice into. From memory they are 18 mm steel tubes, I Tee'd into them at the bottom in the rubber section...

Hi Joe We have the 10kw Eberspacher M2 with built in altitude compensation. It always worked , even at the high altitude. It has a variable output setting, the lowest being below 1 kw, the highest being 10 kw. At above 5000m it ran quite happily at about 25 % being 2.5 kw. If I cranked it...

Luckily for us you don't need a Carne in any of the Amercas, This would have been an added complication for sure.

We have looked at this option. It is very hard, bordering impossible. You would need to arrange for every handler of the vehicle to have a Poder, which is a legal document giving them authority. It really can only be arranged locally. Some friends of ours , who were in a similar position in...

Hi guys. Thanks for the thoughts. South America is,way behind Europe on this Covid Journey, but its numbers are rising at an alarming rate. At the moment we cannot return . The risk is too high and there are no flights in. Our truck and motorcycle are now Illegal so we don't knowxwhat sort of...

Remember when choosing your heater that at high altitude ( over 3500m ) the diesel heaters are not happy, even with altitude compensation. You will be lucky to get 25% output so you need to ask if 25% is enough for your needs. I have had mine running at 5200m at minus 25 but it smoked like a...

Simon. Our truck is abandoned in Colombia. And has been since March I reckon the grass must be up to the doors now. Not sure when we can return. Maybe next year, maybe not. Our next stage will be shipping out if Cartagena . As said ealier , it expensive. You can ship from Uruguay to Canada...

Feeling for you . Neil

Good luck. You will be glad to get to bottom of this, its been spoiling your enjoyment for too long. Neil

We are 1.95m inside height. Simple formula. Garage area that can take a bike + under bed GRP platform + Mattress + wife sitting up in bed drinking tea = 1.95 m This keeps us under 3.5m externally which was important to us Neil

Looking fantastic. It must have been great for you and Carmen to take it out for a drive. Stay safe guys Neil

Ours are stuck on with Sika 512 only, no screws on a painted roof on 50 mm angle brackets Two have been there 7 years and are still rock solid. The third got damaged after 5 years and had to be replaced . Getting the old Brackets off cleanly after 5 years of sun and weather took the best part...

I might be missing the point of it. Whilst I admire the design and craftsmanship. To me this would only have any use if you wanted to convert the vehicle back into an empty van after an overnight stop. If this is the case it's Fab. If not then my dominant, " can't be arsed gene" would soon...

Some come up on here too https://www.vebeg.de/web/de/start/index.htm Neil

Can't help with the Steering Lock. Our model doesn't have them. However, we do have a cable operated throttle. I think you replaced yours. I actually think I remember you finding the part number for mine, which seized. This is where I would start looking. Maybe it's stretched or slipped. You...

Our Viscous fan has never come in at idle, even after hours. The only time it comes in is on long inclines in a low gear. Surprisingly the gauge only has to climb a little for it to come in, we hear it. It does it's job and soon disengaged. Interestingly, on the back of our fan is a large...

I have been looking for 3 years now in South America. It would appear that a crazy truck builder from Chile got the last one. Luckily I have a bag of tools, a balaclava and I know where he lives. Watch out Pairoa, It would look better on my truck Neil

Obviously the revised height is better, bit you will stll be at the top end of practical limits. Everything we do with our trucks has a knock on effect. It's about your design and what your requirements are. There are plenty of well travelled trucks this tall and they do perfectly well. The...

High Alex. Looks like a great project. With regard to the height, 4.2m is very tall, I can only talk about travelling in general as I am yet to get to New Zealand We are 3.5m and h have had a few issues. Friends we travel with sometimes are 3.7 and they have had a lot more issues and on it...
