Delivery day! To say I'm excited is an understatement! The overall condition is great and we took her for a little drive and everything seemed to work. The delivery company said they had a diesel leak but just tightened the fuel filter..

Please please don't buy fat bikes ? get some 29er trail bikes and you will be smiling all day long! Fat bikes have too many shortcomings and you guys seem full of finesse and able to ride proper trails on real bikes! I may know not know ******** about trucks but if you need ski and bike...

I have very little experience in that regard, my plan for heating has always been diesel. I know Webasto units are reliable having used them for years without a single failure, less experience with Truma but I hear good things, parts and servicing is reliably available here for those systems. I...

Thanks, ill do that :D I was thinking of a back lift actually, you can get Zepro units here for almost free (mostly they have their own hydraulic motors thou), i dont know how much work it will be to convert it to a horizontal platform instead of vertical but definitely doable...

Thanks so much for this! I see there is a PTO switch in the cab next to the difflockers, i assume it is the transferase type.. So it is just to disconnect that axle and leave the PTO in place then :)

Right! Thanks for the advice! I want to strip as much weight as possible from the chassis so I'll have a garage take a look at removing it (PTO)? At least now I know what it's called ?

I was curious about one thing, I am busy at the moment finding someone with a crane etc to remove the fire cab, did you cab have a water pump installed like mine has? there seems to be a engine runoff to power the thing and was wondering the proper way to "disconnect" that? I am so clueless it...

I already have some plans for the power. Yes, Lithium is never a question but capacity, building from raw cells (they are really hard to source in Norway and you cannot import without a licence), charge controllers and inverters is still up in the air. Thanks to DiploStrat's great advice I think...

I have some nagging concerns with the thought of induction, battery bank size, inverter size, charging it in the winter months up north when we stay put for 3-4 days. Plus i like cooking with gas.. I am still a little on the fence thou..

cool gas storage setup! I was thinking of 2 composite 20l bottles to keep things simple and a smeg household 4 burner stove

Update! The lights and sirens are off and the battery changed, ready for its trip from the west coast of Norway to close to our Oslo workshop! The Ålesund fire department were very kind enough to change the battery for us as well!

I'm familiar with these, I actually use a 20 litre bottle on my BBQ. They are a standard here and cost around 100 euro and then 15 euro for a swap refill. I was more than a little shocked to discover the price of these composite bottles outside of Norway. North of 200€

Must of been user error! works now, thanks Jon!

that is a cool Cool site, however i cant search on my VIN number (WDB67718315709711) I can browse around but cannot for instance see which engine variant i have of the OM 366 LA.. Anyone ideas on how to read these?

so, if this is already pirated, why don't we just share it online with the community? If someone wants to share the datafile with me I can see what i can do about making an online version.

im for sure going to keep the lights, snow chains and that access ladder (for the drivers cab). But there seems to be in addition to the pump (which i bet is cool but i have no use for) a whole bunch of hydraulic cutting equipment etc. Again, cool, but uses?

so the design phase is fully underway, i was busy last night trying to come up with a floor plan but i struggled to find any consensus from the main builders i like about bathroom placement and size. We will have a fairly open layout with probably less overhead cabinets than most but the...

It is concerning the vehicle registration, If i want to simplify this and have it registered as a light truck here the habitat should be able to be removed from the chassis. I also think water and battery should be inside the cabin for climate reasons. If i go for the truma combi (heat and...

There is a bunch of pumps etc in the truck i bought, are they worth anything or it is scrap metal?

So, I'd like to explain myself a bit too. More reasoning for having separate systems is I am on the fence between hot air/water systems in for the habitat, I was going to use Webasto units for both but Truma also make some very attractive combi diesel units (6D). They claim to be powerful and...
