    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Little update, we are working on the intermediate frame design and storage box options (to be mounted to the subframe). We also have the box size finalized and this is what the overhang and departure angles look like on our chosen design. We still need to decide on the storage box material...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi Toby, I am using sketchup right now, the free version is pretty good and learning curve isn't as bad as some others. Lots of tutorials online which reminds me I need to take an afternoon and do some too as what I am building right now is very basic. The next step for us is to take our layout...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    So last week we got some chassis plans for our truck, the importer did not have the exact ones matching out VIN but managed to construct one from other trucks. If anyone would like a copy please let me know (I have have some plans for the regular cab). Now if anyone would like the job of...

    Just WOW! Those look like Outbound windows? If so are you happy with them?

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    We have added the lighting channels now to the design and our (probably) manufacture says that is no problem. So many good tips rolling in helping us massively try and get this right first time. We have decided on the advice on this forum and other sources to spec Outbound hatches, windows and...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi Jon, sure thing, the same place I plan to have our storage lockers made, find them here. Credit to CHR-INA Adventure blog for that find, a very worthwhile read! Right, I see what you mean, I am going with the Outbound specs for sizes but ill take another look at their model lineup! Thanks...

    Mercedes 1222A.. The beginning!

    Looking really nice! I really envy your climate, it is -14 here at the moment so the work we can do here without a heated garage is pretty limited. Do you know if this later grill will fit an earlier 1120? The font of your drivers cab does look very different from ours, really like the look of...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Yep! This is definitely a crowd sourced build! I am adding the costs now for all the outbound windows, hatches and doors and the total cost is just insane. Although still about half the price of the likes of KTC compared to residential windows outbound are about triple the price (we are...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Yep, I have been meaning to look through your build and bookmark you pedestal you have, it is exactly what we are looking for! Not exactly, yes and no, I was planning on a full size lift but we will instead try something a bit unusual. since we are not housing the spare on the back we will...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Agreed, on our side too. Also the main issue is budget and regulations, adding the crawl through adds a whole level of uncertainty and complexity to our vehicle certification. I love this one, I much more comfortable at this end of the tech spectrum then diesel heaters or pneumatic systems. I...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    There certainly is a lot to think about, and this is our first draft really just to figure out where we want the main components, windows and doors :D but so far it is still fun for us at this point! This looks very cool, I like the symmetry of your design! This is a great point, we are...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi Joe, the table is just a mock up component, we are planning on a marine style fold up/extendable table on adjustable marine pedestal to make the support for the bed conversion. The table will be fairly compact once in what will probably be default down position. Here is a view from...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    This is the route I am taking with the 12V house bank, I will build all the circuits, battery and do the core install. I have found a automotive election who will connect up he inverter and shore power and certify that, he says that will be enough documentation on that end. I have not gotten as...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi Jon, Ive added where I think the bathroom will be but still need to mockup at scale to find the right size, so the entrance door should be to the right of this around where the rear wheel will be i imagine. Yea, I think the raised seating is a great idea, I plan to house the house batteries...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Bathroom hasn't been added yet, will be next the bed on the passenger side. Not planning on a cab-cabin hatch at this point. If we do decide on that there's space just above the bed platform. Yea, I'm looking into the heating setup you are suggesting. But I don't have the skills or budget to...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    here is a quick preview of the hab layout we are working on, what is missing is the bathroom and entrance door which will be on the passenger side- opposite the kitchen. The window sizes are based on Outbound specs and we still need to finalize the U-Shaped seating area dimensions (although it...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi @Sitec , I totally agree with your approach, but the chassis designs have been requested nonetheless as documentation for design and approval needs to stem from from MB in Norway (so I have been told). I am rather new to all this, but have the following chassis prep in the works which will...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Hi! Does anyone know where I can source chassis drawings for my particular truck (similar to the one attached), I have contracted an engineering firm to plan our intermediate frame (including finite element analysis) and they are asking me to contact the Norwegian dealer to obtain these but I...
