    TerraLiner:12 m Globally Mobile Beach House/Class-A Crossover w 6x6 Hybrid Drivetrain

    Hiya I believe Euro bridges are normally 4.5m on main roads. Outside that of course anything applies and varies greatly depending in my view on a countries history. The UK for instance have quite a few people in not too big an area with a lot of old industry, so there are a great deal of old...

    TerraLiner:12 m Globally Mobile Beach House/Class-A Crossover w 6x6 Hybrid Drivetrain

    Of course it is, since we're only talking about putting a camper on the back of any of these lovely trucks, not how fast we can get how many troops how far away. :smiley_drive:

    TerraLiner:12 m Globally Mobile Beach House/Class-A Crossover w 6x6 Hybrid Drivetrain

    Hiya Those vehicle classifications are nicely divided :) Anything independently suspended will have a relatively short suspension arm (or whatever you may want to call it :)) compared with a beam axle which is why I was wondering what the actual axle droop is comparing an independently...

    TerraLiner:12 m Globally Mobile Beach House/Class-A Crossover w 6x6 Hybrid Drivetrain

    Hiya That is a lot of links! -How different is wheel travel in isolation between a MAN KAT, Zetros, Tatra, Unimog etc? If a rigid chassis Tatra can, purely from how the wheel is suspended, only achieve about the same wheel articulation as a Zetros, then the chassis articulation on the Zetros...

    Design Advice - Length versus Height

    Hiya We have a cabover on a U1700, 3250mm wheelbase. As already said, since you've already fixed the wheelbase I don't think a bigger rear overhang will affect nimbleness. The floor is already a long way up so I doubt going longer will affect the departure angle enough to matter either. If you...

    Minimalist Sprinter

    Maybe not too minimalist but nice layouts. Their Nova particularly, matching a one piece moulding to a mostly still in place Sprinter body, I think is impressive even if it does cost a fortune :) http://www.la-strada.de/?app=configurator&mod=overview&menuid=3&languageid=2

    Maxtrax vs TRED vs Tracmats vs X-Trax vs X-Jack

    Hiya Would anyone comment on what happens to any type of ally ladder if it gets bent? Does it bend? Or just snap? Does it bend back? Maybe no-one has bent one? Many mounting options seem to rely on them staying straight, I'm just wondering if they bend in use making re-mounting tricky? Maybe...

    we would say hello...and looking/ asking for tires

    Hi Sorry to hear you are having tyre problems. I know Atkinson Vos in the UK ship parts and vehicles to many countries worldwide and are Continental tyre dealers. I have bought 14.50 R20 MPT 80 tyres (nice but noisy) from them at a good price, but I did collect them myself :)...

    Heater alternative maybe wood stove?

    I hadn't thought it would be stove specific but thats kinda obvious now I think about it! Thank you :)

    Heater alternative maybe wood stove?

    Lots of nice ideas :) Is there some sort of guideline in a camper fit as to how much clear space you have to give around such a stove?

    24V to 12V split charger?

    I think the imbalance screws up one of your vehicle batteries quite quickly. What about http://www.red-bhw.com/voltage-reducing-interconnector-7p-hgv-to-7p-car-socket-1505.html?zenid=el1o4b8sclb38a1lshf30m2vp2 No idea if it is actually suitable though, but you could ask them? :) Edit, sorry...
