Yes they do, I just installed 5 of them in our build. Not sure about the door with no window, but I doubt it. We got one of the euro doors.

Although not cheap, Werlings makes some pretty high quality canned meats. Totally different from the typical grocery store tinned meats. We used them a few years ago for a sailing trip and it was really good.

So, one question I have is what size is your heat exchanger? How many plates? And by the way, very nice looking truck (from a private pm, made me do a double take as it looks a lot like ours, but just completed). You should update your avatar with a picture as others would love to see it...

Hey all, a bit of an update. Got the truck back from the welder with the modifications complete (the guy really did a great job, you can not tell anything changed except that it fits now :)). So we got the habitat bolted on. As you can see we got to try out the new tires in snow... So we loaded...

You pretty much buy batteries by weight. So to compare different brands check out the weight of the battery. The heavier the better as deep cycle batteries have thicker plates and this is what you want for longer life. Another thing I have seen, we live full time on a sailboat and have 6 6v...

While trying to figure out what to get for our truck I found out that a lot of rims places will do custom "agriculture" rims. They would not guarantee they would balance for higher speed road use. This place Wheels Now Inc. would do 22.5" highway rims, they essentially weld on a new steel ring...

We also have an 1120, the lk/ln2 trucks have an eight hole rim. Makes things a bit difficult here in the states. I found Gabo in the Netherlands that would build 20" split rims for our trucks. The price was not too bad but I decided to stick with the single piece rims.

Anyone know if the new (ish) bifacial solar panels are worth the extra money for mounting flat on a white gelcoated roof (our RV)? The claim is up to 25% greater output in the same footprint but I am thinking that not much light would reach the back (between the cells the glass is clear) of the...

A little late but just ran across this circulation fan for refrigerators. I will look into it closer once I install our fridge. Just wanted to have the link here in case someone is looking for something like this. Fridge-Fix

Thanks Sitec for the instruction on how to figure out the ratio. After reading your explanation it makes sense. My plan is to have a single Webasto furnace supply heat to the habitat and also be able to pre-heat the engine via a coolant to coolant heat exchanger. Also hope this will allow me to...

Thanks guys, I definitely do not have the cold start on my truck. It does start, just takes a bit of coaxing (and then a rather large smoke show). We should be heading to N.C. in the next few days so it should be ok to wait for the heater to get installed (hopefully get the truck back on...

Thanks guys for the encouragement, really neat to see the truck taking shape. Since this is my forst build this is a bit of an evolution. I dropped off the truck yesterday at the welders (wanted to drive in daylight on a Sunday). Heading back first thing this morning to talk with him about...

Quick update, the welder can start when we get the truck to them on Monday. So back on track.

Well we got the habitat set on the subframe today. I have to say I really love the look and can't wait to get the cab roof rack, under body storage boxes and rear spare tire rack built to finish off the look. You can see in the photo that the 45 degree corners are not finished, they are water...

Hey Sheik, I bought some of the Kronprinz steel wheels from Germany. They have a 110mm offset and look to work well for a single rim to work both front and back. One thing I had read was that with these single piece rims you are unable to change a tire in the field (so I bought 2 spare rims for...

Sorry to hear about your wife. Given your timeframe I would say get the Revel (I have only seen them from the outside) if your intentions are to travel places with ULSD. We are in the middle of a Total Composites build (on a 1988 MB 1120 AF because we plan on traveling in developing nations)...

On our boat we have a gelcoated fiberglass shower stall. Cleans up nicely with the normal bathroom cleaners. My plan with the honeycomb panels is to route out the comb for about an inch depth. Then use polyurethane adhesive to bond in a wood strip flush to the edge of the panel. Then when I go...

Hey guys, just now finishing a Total Composites habitat for our MB 1120 AF. Although it easily doubled the amount of work I had a 45 degree angle put into the leading top edge and rear bottom. Also a shallower angle on the leading bottom. There is a lot more cutting, fitting and fabricating of...

Nice work so far. So what are your plans for the camper box?

We installed that last habitat wall panel yesterday! We still have some corner caps to do and install a roof hatch (which we will be working on today) and we are getting closer to mounting the habitat on the truck. Once the adhesives cure a bit the bubble (for heat as it is getting colder by the...
