Probably not related at all, but a few weeks ago Nissan said they were pulling out their factory in Barcelona, and so in large part out of the EU. The UK Sunderland factory was going to be a focus despite Brexit, hooray for UK jobs, skilled workers etc etc. Some had commentated that with the...

Your attention to detail and finished results are inspiring :) The space under your solar panel looks a bit Maxtrax sized? I have a cupboard of coffee maker fails, hadn't heard of a Presto Myjo but it's about twice the price in the UK, and we don't seem to have plus nuts either. Shocking. But...

If you want to make potable water from either sea water or brackish water then RO is maybe the only choice? But if not Katadyn do a gravity filter for much less than that posh handpump if you could leave it set up to feed into a jerry can overnight? But if since you mentioned a pump to start...

Very tidy and out of the way when unused

I looked into one after being impressed with the concept as used by Blissmobil, but the cost, time and water wasted makes the system as a whole not very vehicle friendly IMHO. A Unimog camper couple in Aus used one when parked up at the beach for a while, pumped sea water into a big inflatable...

Can I ask how you stop a bladder from moving around as their volume changes?

My experience of solar producing pretty much nothing is a Scottish winter at around 57 degrees N, and Iceland in September at 65 degrees north. Ottawa has about the same latitude as Milan which I would consider tropical! Snow, cold and joking aside, the sun still has a lot of power there. We...

And I imagine you weren't at those extremities at the wrong end of the season! :)

Hiya Unless you are very decided on when you will be where I think it's a bit odd for someone to tell you a genny will not be needed. Far enough from the equator in the wrong season and solar won't do much so are they suggesting you sit for an hour or two with the engine running to recharge...

Mobile de has adverts from lots of dealers who may or may not actually list everything they have. So using it to get a phone list to ring up and ask will produce more vehicles I would think? As well as discovering the people who go to the official auctions, and get heads up as to whats coming up...

Having said "the EU" I can't be sure it's all of them, but it is some of them.

Within the EU a campervan can mostly park anywhere for a few days undisturbed same as any other vehicle. You living inside it makes no difference. If you tried parking anywhere and then living in a caravan that officially is camping and is not allowed as widely by a large margin. Not sure why...

Our last bigish camper had a crawl thru behind the passenger seat meaning that seat would have to rotate to get at it. There was a sliding metal door for security and a flexy coupling joining cab with camper across about the 10" gap. Never used, too much hassle. But as mentioned above to park...

Does tyre size need certifying too or just wheel details?

Euro vans except the Sprinter have some sort of additional different drive set up for AWD that just gives drive when slip occurs as far as I can see. Sprinters can have lockers, seem to be the only ones with low range (which can be lowered further after market) but seem to be the only ones with...

Crikey. Bravo :)

I imagine you could look at a road atlas of NZ which will have bridge and obstruction heights and weight limits on? Obviously, the higher, longer, heavier you are the fewer places you will fit. You could ask on some sort of NZ based Land Cruiser/Rover forum for their opinion on which trails a...

Looks good. As drawn looks lower than our U1700 was at 3.9m? So aiming to be over 7500kg I would think? Maybe 9000kg+ even? Where will your spare tyre(s) be? Have you allowed for insulation in the floor of the cabover, air space under the bed springs there, decent mattress thickness, plus room...

The Outbound windows hinge at the top so opening the window gets you an open aperture kinda like you might expect. KCT's hinge mean when fully open the glass part it sits almost in the middle of the opening, blocking your view. They tell you this is a design advantage because you can clean the...

Some cities yes, many parts of Europe, no.
