Nice. How did you find an Isuzu 4wd in the USA?

Our Northstar TS1000 slide in pop up is 7’ wide and does not extend beyond the sides of the utility body on our Fuso FG. 8.5’ is the maximum legal width in the USA

For sealing seams, there's nothing better than Eternabond tape.

Sorry, looks like a bad Fuso choice, not Earthcruiser

I would probably epoxy it and I'd coat all the pieces in epoxy as these pieces often get wet. It's common to run a piece of metal all the way across the inside of the back piece to bolt those brackets to. There's a lot of tension on them due to the torsion bars. I've got a thread on here...

What part of the roof are you replacing. Be careful if you are releasing the back corner lifting brackets, there is a torsion bar inside those tubes. What exactly is the problem with the roof?

Not a chance a unit like that will cool down a pop top camper in Nebraska in the summer. We have a small window unit bought at HD at end of season sale for $75 and installed in the front pass through window of our Northstar TS 1000. It will run off a Honda 2000. It is acceptable on a hot summer...

That seems to have been a bad decision for Earthcruiser

Yes. Propane forced air camper furnaces draw combustion air from outside and vent outside, unlike buddy’s and waves.

Propane forced air should be as dry ad diesel forced air. No combustion is taking place inside the camper to add moisture.

Look up Chinese Diesel Heaters--all in one. There are lots of them available like the Planar, but not in a plastic box, metal, for around $150. They are pretty efficient on both diesel and electric--maybe 3 amps or so once they start up and the glow plug isn't drawing.

Was your propane heater forced air also?

Mechanic says it was due to design failure in the oil pump and an updated oil pump is available

Oil pump failure on year old truck has to induce a high degree of dissatisfaction

A Fuso dealer mechanic from California posted on the Canter 4x4 Facebook page that he worked on a dual cab Earthcruiser which had an L6 v8 gasoline engine replaced due to oil pump failure. I was unaware that dual cab FG’s were available in the USA. Did Fuso start selling them in the last few years?

Very interesting. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/719806361930392/

It’s fine above freezing

Wave 3 has limited output. I put verified numbers ina thread a few weeks ago. At 15 degrees f outside many people would still be cold inside if using a wave 3.
