Thanks all. That settles it. 24v it is! Both our fridges will happily run off 24v so this is a good start. So, will that Victron Orion 24v to 12v charger run appliances, or does it have to be supplying a battery that then feeds the appliances.... (so if I've understood it correctly I'd have 4...

Hi all. Google bought me full circle back to the EP! So, as I have almost completely clad our Hab Box, I'm now at the point of buying/fitting stuff to it, and have come across the 12v vs 24v conundrum. Originally I'd just assumed that the Hab Box would be 12V and the truck would be 24V. A little...

Same. Simple and fixable on the side of the road.

Hello Kope! Welcome to the forum! we talked about subframes last week! :)

A little more activity here at the weekend. I completed the time consuming job of sheeting around the rear viewing door. I'm glad I've taken the time to add this door, even though theres a bit of work involved! We also managed to bond the lower panel in place. The rear lockers are starting to...

Oh yeah! Covid. I'd kinda forgotten about that!

I've had a look around one of these when I saw one a few years ago in Queenstown. From memory standing room is only just. They are a smart looking rig though. Begs the question why 6 late model Mogs are up for sale and not being used...

The joys of a long weekend means stuff happens!! Over the course of the last few days I have managed to put the lid on the job! The roof is on! Here are a few shots of my easter antics... The view inside what now feels like an empty railway carrage! Here's the LH side bonded and riveted in...

I'm following this too, as also want to know. Are you looking to import it on a temporary basis or perminantly? We'd be wanting approx 2 years on a carnet if that's an option.

Hi Ian. Thanks for the reply. I'm only using this in some of the voids under the floor. I've bought Kingspan rigid insulation for the sides and roof. The roof had previously been insulated with the itchy stuff and was still good, and dry, so hopefully the little bit I've used under the floor...

Whoops! So, when you find some parts you want for your truck (later front grille and the badge out of the center of the steering wheel...) on a truck that's sat doing nothing, what do you do? You buy the whole truck! Meet donor No 2! :LOL: Funnily enough it has exactly the same problem donor 1...

Where in Australia is it currently? There's a few of us on here based in Oz... :)

Hi all. So, I'm using Wurth Bond and Seal. After keying each surface, and then cleaning with thinners, I apply one decent bead on the RHS mating face and then push the sheet into place. Once held with a couple of supports below, I then try to smooth the sheet over each beam underneath...

Hi all. Quick update. After a week away in a hired motorhome (for a holiday, to see that Wifetec loves that way of life, and to see what we do and don't like), it was back into the build. With the floor finished I could map out to scale where everything is going to go. It's also much easier for...

It's a solid frame... That's for sure! Today's task was working out how best to use the 6 sheets of form ply I have. This was interupted a few times by my loyal helper, who was more intent on being daft than helping... Anyway, once the antics were over we got on with it. Radio cranked, some...

With all the major metalwork done, it was finally time for a thorough sand and de glue of the body framework. Even Wifetec got involved. She wasn't that impressed at being stood on top of a ladder and having to hold on while sanding though! The joys of a stepped workshop. The right side of the...

Progress report. A few more evenings had the roof framework all done. This included a center spar up front with some threaded holes to accept a lifting jig for gearbox removal if ever needed... A past experiance changing a clutch on a 1617 in Durban I've also managed to locate and collect...

Hello and welcome! Lets see it then!! ;) So, dependant on what age it is, you will probably have Hub Reduction Axles front and back (big 10 bolt plate in the middle of the wheel). These are solid over engineered axles and can cope with anything! The V8 is a big lazy unstressed engine with...

I gather both are similar. We went with the Natures Head, as there is a supplier here in Australia. I believe both to be US made, and have since been told that the Air Head has a different system for removing the top of the toilet, so therefore needs less space... You'd have to check that...

X2 for not having a black tank. Natures Head or Air Head all the way. Thr thought of having to deal with that cassette or tank of nuclear slop every few days... Even though the 'composting' process has only just begun, it's still easier to handle a dry matter with minimal odor than pungent...
