The 'A' in the model number is for Alrad, so 4x4, that does not mean the engine is a turbo. The 'A' in the engine number like OM352A means turbo. The 'F' in the model number means a firetruck, which might or might not have fast axles. More likely but certainly not a guarantee. Model designations...

What strange vortex were you in? The Scooby Doo Mystery Machine is in the righthand lane!

Looks great. Man, that was a lot of work for a little (but important) thing. One suggestion from my years as a document forger for Mossad, you should age it a little with dirt build-up around the raised letters and a little corrosion on the screws and very edges of the plate, so it fits the age...

Looks GREAT! You are making outstanding progress.

Cold start - My 1017AF (OM 352A) has the ether system. Black knob on the dash. My understanding it is not some magical formula, but a can of ether at the auto parts store is $2.50, while the 'magical' Mercedes formula (the only can that fits to recharge the reservoir under the hood) is $50+...

Although this is designed as a security film to protect glass home/business windows, perhaps it would give some scratch protection if applied on the outside of your camper windows (it is normally applied inside on glass windows. 3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Films, Or perhaps even...

You might check out Bill Caid's write-up about adding one to his 1017. An OM352A engine, but maybe some useful information. HERE photo copyright - Bill Caid

No relation to seller, but I drove one of these Host rigs when it was new at Host in Bend, Oregon. With the narrow width and Duonic transmission it drove like a car in Bend rush hour traffic. I was impressed. We toured the Host factory and I was very impressed with the quality. The slideout...

eBay seller confirmed he has it for sale on both eBay at $29k and Craigslist at $42k.

One might be a scam as same vehicle/discription is on eBay for $29,995 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-REVCON-TRAILBLAZER-4x4-Motorhome-RV-Ford-F350-Crew-Cab-Diesel-Low-Miles/153187477487?

While I would disagree about trucks being 'death traps', as I can't speak to the build quality of LMTVs, if they are so dangerous WHY would you put yourself in that danger? Certainly, your wife would not want to lose her husband and you don't want to leave your children fatherless with no one to...

With all the space in the cab, a raised roof would be great and with a higher cabin no increased height penalty. MOCK-UP I think the coolest method would to be to find a roof from a Corey Cruiser Hightop conversion But other roofs could be used, including pop-ups. Even a full-size truck bed...

Pretty cool. Great for a walk-through. I know you guys are on the cutting edge, but we need to know more about the anti-gravity unit that allows the lids to float about the cabinets. :unsure:

Link for that thread is HERE

The DoKa Mercedes LKW (actual dreifachkabine {triple cabs, 3 rows of seats}) are quite well-supported worldwide. 'Victorian' is spot on that a 12-foot cab is about max for cabin length. You could maybe do a 14' cabin. A huge plus for the Doka is the cab is 8 feet wide by 10.5 feet long so it is...

As Andres linked, Quaid has tons of build photos posted LINK . I did not have a camera with me. I'll PM you with my contact info. I'll be there in 'Mammut', so look for this, Or the guy walking around with his Emotional Support Animal ;)

Not my Fuso. Just a drive-by sighting/photos

I have a set of Total Composite panels to build a 7x14 box for the Fuso, I'm just looking for the time (and less than 100-degree weather) to build it. I helped build an 8x16 TC panel cabin for an LMTV, awesome components. I'll be up at the Northwest Mogfest in Sheridan (with the 1017)...
