Some manufacturers say not, and some don't produce lithium specific chargers anyway. But have you read shade's link in post 31 above?

Hi Do mean stretching the Tatra chassis tube? That might be tricky?

Nice box :) I have 24v with small 24-12 droppers at the front and rear of the camper plus another in the cab. The fan in our Separette loo is just a pc fan so swapped to 24v. A 24v Trailking pump wasn't much cash but I didn't have a 12v already!

A camper with a bare ally roof would burn me in the sun but once painted white it was cool to the touch in similar sun.

Have a look at the different outputs from perhaps a 5KW compared to a 9/10KW Espar for instance. The 5 we did have does either full power or half, the 9 we now have will drop down to 1KW. The more heat your system can soak up the less cycling it will do, the start up will eat more current on the...

You say a/c in summer, so do you mean from a genset or batteries? If the latter then all other battery draws will be tiny compared to that! Our diesel camper will have; - A composting toilet, so no external black tank or too small cassette. - An internal grey tank sunk in the insulated floor...

Very nice though :) Have you got the metal sunroof thing in the cab like Mogs do, that are sprung shut and you can push either the front or the back or both up? Similar to what you plan perhaps? When we had our Mog we found with that vent up at the back that gave just a wee bit of fresh air...

Look up the Team Balu clips, their 6x6s are amazing, a good advert. I doubt it will stay at 60 even on the flat if laden. Some sites say they will tow 4000kg but slowly. There is a roof rack by Steyr that bolts directly to the front and rear roll bar. For spares either one of the specialists or...

I don't think all this will encourage the OP to stay?!?!

In the UK minimum rebar splice is commonly 40 times the bar diameter. Pour at 3 degrees C and rising as a minimum unless you're covering it and or heating it. Frost protection overnight at those temps, soaked hessian if a warm summer.

“Often I see manufacturers trying to out-design each other. They are trying to sell end users gear with too many bells and whistles because that’s what the magazines tell the end users they need. There’s a certain level of dysfunction in this. How do we educate people that they don’t need the...

Anyone know if all that stuff under the back floor means the last row of seats won't fold flat or would that be a whole layer above that storage?

Just as a heads up without comment, today UK news in the Daily Telegraph reporting all UK JLR plants will close for a week in November even if Brexit doesn't happen "Speaking at the opening of the company’s £500m engineering and design centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire, Ralf Speth, chief...

It certainly is, but cost several times that of a Range Rover when it was sold to civilians.

Why do you say that? I said it's not because they couldn't. IFS continued at the time for even heavier armoured vehicles, Tatra continued with IFS at similar vehicle size to a Kat1. Excessive stress isn't stress that can't be built around, just they chose not to do that

Regardless of the era, vehicle weight or level of engineering development, the questions raised during the design are the same. Do you want more comfort and speed so requiring complexity (cost, more points of failure)? Modern and technological do not mean complexity unless that's what you choose...

OT again omg but anyway I think it's a- Defender pushes Kat 1 across river ;)

"Slightly" OT but reading about the development of the MAN Kat1 in the Tankograd book which involved pretty much every German truck manufacturer from 1965 to the first actual production vehicle after more than ten years of development later, independent suspension systems were ruled out in 1967...

I've been wondering if the new Defender will come with touch screen friendly winching gloves?
