    Water tank level sensor + indicator!

    I had mine inserted when the tank was being built. Do you have an inspection hole on the tank? Don't think there's another way to get the ring in otherwise. There are a couple of other options around though. Wema has a couple though not sure how high they are over the tank, or try these out...

    Water tank level sensor + indicator!

    I'm using these for my 3 tanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fresh-Water-Tank-Level-Gauge-Monitor-Indicator-Meter-Sensor-RV-Camper-Van-Boat-/251416230707 No moving parts, sound like they're reliable and aren't too expensive.

    Pop Roof Actuators

    I got mine from http://lifteasy.com.au/. IP66 rated, 300kg lift force each, control box that'll synchronise via manual adjustment. They're work well, biggest gripe with them is they're slow and noisy. It's 2 minutes to travel 600mm. 6 actuators (I only used 4), control box, remote came to around...

    4m50 turbo upgrade

    US spec FG from 2008 changed engine from 4M50 to a 3L engine. Australia didn't change until the FG71 in 2011/2012

    FG84 Camper Build

    I think the kill switch is necessary, especially if the bed's where the two halves join. We've a pull switch mounted in the middle of the box (there's the control to raise/lower, switch above it) that kills the power. Also stops parasitic drain when it's in storage, something I've found is...

    FG84 Camper Build

    Know what you mean. I'll mount the remote on the dash once we're finished, second up/down switch will go inside the camper for when we're inside plus main one on the control box. Should cover the control side of things. Need a contact switch on the door so they only work while doors closed. Had...

    FG84 Camper Build

    There's some circuitry involved, certainly. I had the control box customised for what I wanted, from there it was just a few wires to connect it up. Remote control's a nice feature, standing 10 meters away being able to raise/lower is a great party trick :coffeedrink:

    FG84 Camper Build

    12v electric. The control box connects the remote control and actuators together, dials are used for manual speed adjustment both up and down. Works alright, but need to adjust them every few months as they get out of sync. Haven't had them bind up though.

    FG84 Camper Build

    We've got more parts. It's been a slow month with not much work being done on the camper, a couple of weeks away with family gatherings and birthdays, but able to get back into it now. More parts are on order, but a few of the current ones ready to be added in Plumbing Hot water Winston...

    2008 Imported Crew Cab: Ranger/Hilux?

    Korean. Ssaygyong has some of the ugliest cars on the road, have seen on the road here. Review from the local release http://www.caradvice.com.au/8324/2008-ssangyong-actyon-sports-review/ Sounds like they've got the same diesel engine as Jeep used, so getting an engine for it would at least...

    Isuzu NPS 300 camper build

    That's very neat, like it with a bit of colour attached. Be curious how they did the passthru

    06 fuso fe over heating

    Chat with SkiFreak about EGR delete, from memory he did it a couple of months ago. It's way down the list of things to do for me, but likely will do it also.

    4m50 highway use?

    I can't remember what RPM I was at, but on the drive home it'd happily sit on 100km/h, got to 110 but didn't like it, 120 downhill with a tailwind and me running behind pushing it and truck really didn't like it. This is with the ATW super singles, camper body about 6" high than the truck roof...

    4m50 highway use?

    The Steinbauer chip is available for the 4M50 here, I'm planning on getting one next year. Alan I think has sent one to Canada before. Check out the ATW page on super singles. http://www.allterrainwarriors.com.au/vehicles/accessories-single-wheel-conversion There's a section on pressures...

    Family Truck Expedition Examples on FUSO/ISUZU/ETC.

    Is it this truck? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/wingfield/heavy-farming-agriculture-equipment/isuzu-nps-300-truck/1085441101 Cosmetically it doesn't look bad, but it's still a 22 year old truck with fairly high ks. Probably the bigger question, if it's got a 11ft tray, probably 13 ft if...

    Now THIS is a Pop Up Truck Camper

    That's a very, very cool truck. Love the rooftop balcony, makes it so usable for space we'd otherwise leave for solar or the like. So many features in such a small space Guy interviewing is building a tiny house. Is doing a decent job too of documenting it, and interviewing other people living...

    Television power draw

    I wouldn't be too worried about an 80w TV if you're only using it for a few hours. You've plenty of battery capacity, probably get more loss through the inverter running the TV. We're going a different route for TV, using a projector system. Drop down screen attached to the roof, thinking 40'...

    Is This Van Stealthy Enough to Stealth Camp With?

    I've thought about it a few times. Since moving to our new house, we've a 90 minute commute each way, but we bought the house primarily to have a space to work on the truck. Once we finish it off though, fully expect to drive it to Melbourne, find a quiet space to park within walking distance to...
