Hiya You may be aware of this advice from other sources, but I'll post it anyway! There are quite often stories in the UK press regarding supposed gas attacks on campervans on mainland Europe, with valuables being robbed during the night, no one woke up during the attack and all occupants have...

Hi Bearing in mind a Mogs intended use seems to have been (apart from a few recent N. American ones) 55mph max to get to a place of work, I wonder how many of Bill Caids failures have been more due to (I think he has?) an overdrive, and bigger tyres than a 3 piece axle might like, to achieve...

Hi The effort you've put into those CAD pics is great, thank you! The Opensens family linked to earlier travelled as a four, (and then as a five!), for several years in a U2150L38 Doka Mog, so the rear cabin is smaller than perhaps most would like for a family. But in the brief email exchange...

We have I think (came with camper!) two 100W panels and 2x 255Ah AGMs. Northern Scotland in winter the panels may as well have not been there! The French Med coast in summer the panels alone kept the batteries full despite halogen lights, Eberspacher for hot water, water pump for two showers a...

Hi and thank you for that. We have a fishing pole to measure the underside of stuff, but I hadn't thought of insulating it and pushing stuff a little higher, good plan if its insulated enough!! I hadn't thought that the sides would drop. They could be fixed, with doors in suitable places. Then...

Hi! Dude, smaller tyres?!?!?! Is that legal on this forum!?!?!?! Are you in fact on the wrong forum?!?:Wow1: ;) Thank you replying! And while its Christmas Day here too! Have a good day when it gets to you all :) Its good to hear you don't have an issue at the height you are. The Alaskan site...

Hi and thank you for replying! Dzzz's camper is the one I was thinking of, and Bob Ragain's is also similar apart from have a square box for the bottom half of the camper rather than his slide in profile. I was thinking of having truck bed sides about twice as high as his to cover the windows...

Hi Apologies for what you will I'm sure view as a Newbie question. As I'm based in the UK I don't get to see many pop tops at all, and the usual discussions between makes on this forum are between people who have possibly seen several of the things! And the Alaskan website could be better! I...

My Mog camper has a nonpopup overcab bed, so is 13'1" overall. The front camper wall is fractionally in front of the windscreen line but not a lot, same slope in profile though. It returned 12mpg with 150HP, but would not no way ho sey go above 50mph on the flat. I was under the impression...

That seems like a good system! We started out with a 4" Ikea mattress, then a proper 10" sprung one, and now an 8" Ikea foam layered one. The sprung one was fab, but disintergrated where you had to put you knee on it to get into the cabover over about a years use full time. The rest was OK, but...

My spare tyre is vertical on the back of my camper and sits on two horizontal bars poking out from a body mounted frame. There is also two threaded bars that poke from the frame centrally through the middle of the tyre. Then there is a plate about 24" long (for a 20" wheel size) and maybe 2"...

Hi Good luck if you go through with it! :) A friend of mine went to help out after after the tsunami IDing dead peeps. The authorites welded together about 40 containers, then cut most of the sides out, lined them, A/C, water etc and was essentially a conveyor belt for all the different ID...

Oldish thread so maybe done and dusted already? But, The tyres on the back of my camper essentially sit on the rear bumper, against the back wall of the camper. I have a 1 ton chain hoist, that using a ladder that I carry, I hook up to a lifting point on the back wall directly above each...

My split rims currently deflate too quickly from either leaky beads or valves (new valves are in the post) So whenever we move it can take an hour of inflation using the little Merc inflation tube to get the two or three that need attention to running psi. Not a normal situation, but remounting...

Just found this excellent thread from a google Alaskan search, how lucky was that! So much cool info, thank you for sharing!!! Jason :)
