Cool project. This thread may give you a lot of ideas on what can be done. He started with a uhaul box http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/34294-building-the-Bullet-XV

I'm planning on having 1600km range on my camper, should give us plenty of range for extended trips or to wait out cheaper pricing. Last car had ~500km range, always managed to find something however pricing and quality has been questionable. Being able to bypass stations with enough to get to...

Another vote for Total Composites. Wouldn't necessarily need the steel framing, the panel is structural. Alternative would be the way idasho built his. Can't remember where his build thread is, link to some details. http://www.idacamper.com/the-prototype/

It's a big truck, no doubt about that. Height and length would mean it couldn't go down some tracks very easily and cut off some trails, but given where tour buses and semi's go there's plenty of places it would make. For a family though, it'd make for very comfortable touring (it was built to...

Have to love a long weekend, finally getting some more time work on the truck. Spent the morning getting the truck started again. It's been sitting idle for way too long, I forgot to turn off the actuator control box which drained the battery a bit more than I thought. Still had some charge...

This is probably what you're looking for http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/165582-Electric-front-diff-lock-for-canters-now-available

While on holidays, we stayed in Sorrento for the christmas break. Had a great little beach house with extended family staying for most of the time, we all thought it was a great place to get away. While there though, went and visited Michael from Wild Planet Offroad...

I've been a bit slack of late with updating build thread and working on the truck. We've been spending a lot of time training for the walk, going away for the christmas break and we've been in negotiations to buy a winery. So just a little busy outside of the camper :o Some progress has been...

Don't worry, we're reading and glad you've been enjoying the trip. I just don't always have a lot to add. Spent 3 months working in Grand Rapids, never knew about the FLW house. That area's on our list of places to go back and see more of, will include it on our list of possible things to go...

My build's been going on for ~3 years now, being 6 months design, 12 months truck mods/body building and 18 months of having it while I design and fit out the interior. It's a damn long time, there's been plenty of times where I've wanted to just rid myself of the project and find something...

Hahahaha.... Yeah, nice theory. Will be a good support vehicle though

Haven't forgotten about the it, it's still sitting in the backyard. Life got in the way again, starting a diploma, training for 100k walk (next year) and some trips away, can't quite believe it's been 6 months since last real post. I'll try and take some new photos this weekend of where it sits.

I bought one of these for my camper. Should fit the bill http://wheelsnboats.com.au/Marine-SOLAR-Ventilator-EG-SVT002-attic-exhaust-fan-for-boat-daynight-P3164279.aspx

Truck's looking really good, bet it's a good thing to be out and using it. Have you tried to contact these guys recently? I've been trying to call/email them the last month or so, haven't been able to get a response

This looks similar to another one that came up a few months ago (without the weird wrapping). Anyone heard of a new company producing Canter based motorhomes?

Here's one option for sale http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/136942-Expedition-Camper-for-sale Think a trip to Overland Expo will be a very good thing for you, give you an idea of what's out there and what sense of space you need. Budget is good, but it's in a spot between...

Have you tried www.gnschassis.com.au. Seen their stuff on some heavy caravans here

I'm using an Ikea mattress. Found it comfortable as the spare mattress at home, it's fairly thin. If need a bit more cushion, planning to add Froli springs.

Or register it in a different state that doesn't require yearly inspections. Victoria and I think WA fit that. Welcome to use my place for registering

Hahahaha. Telstra shares would go up, there'd be no such thing as a short chat with anyone. We're planning to get some Recaro's for our truck. I just don't like the Stratos at all, would prefer a fixed but comfortable set to spring mounted Stratos any day. Last quote I got was around 7k for...
