I posted this also in Fireside Chat but this may be a better place. Is anyone in Europe interested in swapping campers? We have a Northstar T1000 on a 99 Fuso FG and would like to travel Europe for about six weeks next spring (2015). Our daughter's in Lund, Sweden at the university so we...

This is in a 94 Northstar (Texson) TS 1000 with 3 way frig. Owned about 5 yrs. Propane side of frig has worked fine apart from blowing out while driving. Got it out of storage for first trip this season. Hard to light the propane. It's got the push button thermocouple gas bypass and piezio...

http://shop.torque-tight.com/10-pc-Torque-Tight-Lug-Nut-Indicator-IND33MM-10.htm?productId=1 These came up in the sheared nuts thread. They've come up before. DontPanic has some on his truck called Wheel Checks. He sent me one of his but it was too big for the lug nuts on my 99FG. Anyone...

I noticed in this blog that the middle seat was 'saved' by All Terrain Warriors when installing a Stratos suspension seat on the passenger side. How does one 'save' the middle seat? One reason why I still have the original double wide passenger seat and not a suspension seat is that I've...

Found this thread. It's a combo of Toyota FZJ and a Fuso 4D34 engine. Lots of good pictures about the engine, wiring harness, and how the engine is controlled. Also some good info on potential power modifications. Perhaps it's already linked on here but if so, it's still worth a repeat...

Nearing the end of a 5k mile trip and my exhaust brake quit. Backed off the accelerator and the exhaust brake light came on as normal momentarily then a series of clicks, a flickering light and it went out. Hasn't functioned since then. Figure it's the switch connected to the accelerator...

I'm on a 5000 miles road trip in the FG. Just outside Waldeboro, Maine, I attempted to downshift to make a turn and my shifter was completely free floating--no connection to the gears at all. Luckily there was a shoulder on the road so I pulled over and investigated. The shifting rod connects...

Not mine, just happened to notice it on Craigslist. http://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/3768765889.html

I've owned a number of motorhomes over the years. Most had the standard system for winterization system which used a diverter valve before the pump which when turned, shut off the main water tank and allowed the pump to suck in antifreeze from a bottle. I never liked those systems. I think...

I'll be putting new belts on my FG in the next month or so. Took a quick look at them yesterday. Tension on the AC belt is held by the idler puller on the left side which is controlled by an adjusting bolt. Does anyone know if the big nut on the front of the pulley itself needs to be loosened...

I was replacing the turbo heat shield in the Fuso on the street outside my house when a man walking down the street chatted me up. He said he had seen a similar FG camper in Winter Park, CO last week. I haven't seen another FG camper around here. Is that other person on this forum?

Took the truck into Chaco Canyon over the weekend. 16 miles of the worse washboard I've ever seen and I've driven on a fair amount of it. Chacoans were known as exacting road builders but they must have taken their road grader with them when they left in 1150 and nobody has bothered to take...

Took our Northstar/Texan TS1000 into Chaco Canyon for a few days over the weekend. Weren't expecting real cold weather so didn't top up with propane before we left. Temperatures dropped to 6 degrees F overnight. We don't mind sleeping at those temperatures but the water pipes will freeze...

Saw this on Ebay. I wasn't aware that Fuso used the Dodge 727 auto at one time. Interesting. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-Mitsubishi-FUSO-FE-Turbo-Diesel-Cab-and-Chassis-/151005598838?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item2328a29476

Anyone know if there's a source for a 10k lb receiver hitch for a 99 FG? I added a hitch to the step bumper on mine but I'd like to get a serious hitch for occasional hauling. Do I have to get one custom made?

Just bought the AC on/off switch for my 99FG. Cost=$55.00. It's an outrageous sum for a simple on/off switch with probably $1.50 of materials in it.

After Michael's post last year explaining the FUSO A/C problems being caused by not having a coolant flow shut off valve, I bought an electric shut off valve to install on my truck. However, I haven't gotten around to it yet. So, this weekend we headed out on a road trip and I took my...

Ran across this by accident. I believe there have been reports of the transmissions jumping out of 4th or 5th gear. Looks like there was a parts upgrade to solve the problem. http://car-and-safety.com/service/mitsubishi-fuso-fe639-9999.htm#POWER%20TRAIN:MANUAL%20TRANSMISSION

I'm considering purchase of a cruising sailboat on a trailer. Total weight around 8000 lbs. Trailer has surge brakes. Is it reasonable to think a 99Fg would tow it? I wouldn't tow it often but when I did, I might tow it quite a distance. My FG with camper currently weighs around 11500lbs...

My fuel return lines started leaking on a trip this weekend. They are 1/4" fuel hose. The one at the end which turns was leaking on mine. People on the MB forum I frequent have noticed that fuel return lines seem to be failing more frequently with the new low sulphur fuel. I have noticed it...
