Point taken, I'm going to look over my current plans, the good news is I have time :) the bad news is I have time before the real build starts :(

Sounds like a very sound design! I would really appreciate looking over those designs thank you! The underfloor heating sounds amazing, unfortunately I won't have the space to install one of these and still keep adequate headroom (I'm 193cm). At with the habitats I'm looking at now. Of course...

Correct, they will be completely separate

indeed

I just saw the coiled loops next the the red light in the picture above, those are the symbols for glow plugs at least in my Land Rover. It might be these trucks were spec'd for the Norwegian climate, the cars generally here have options here as standard you have a hard time finding further...

I have decided to have 2 separate units (both webasto), having talked to the guys here they have recommended to use the dedicated truck and cab heater and separate blower for the habit cabin and water heater (all running diesel). This reduces the need for plumbing between the 2 and adds...

I have spent the past 3 days talking with insurance companies! After a hell of a lot of "we can't help you" I finally found a special insurance with my own provider. Big thanks to Vegard_S for all the tips negotiating all the legislation here in Norway! Now, I wonder, I am thinking about cold...

I have been shopping around for inverters with "shore power" outlets. It seems there are a lot of options in the 1000-2000w range which will work well for our needs (220v).

i have seen a lot of these compact ones online! will be in the spreadsheet :D

I might have to forgo Nespresso for my hipstery isomac giada machine I've had 15 years now ;) so there goes my 12 & 24v only policy ? I agree on the lead time Vs DIY issue. I just know I won't be able to work full time on this, and that's what it would take for a fully DIY job correctly. I...

I am in contact with Ormocar now, but their lead time on a empty box is one year already now (they expect that to increase). I don't really have the facilities to build and mount a box. I wanted this to be done along with the sub-frame build by "pros" to be honest but the prices i got from...

Thanks for the advice! I will be storing all water inside the box due to the cold weather, i will try and keep a small grey water tank on the outside maybe insulated if possible, Ulrich Dolde had some good advice in that regard, I still need to buy his book however! I have been talking to...

So, while investigating the scene a little (i have know for ages I wanted a 4x4 camper just didnt know about the truck scene until about 3 weeks ago) I noticed all the trucks had names, so before we bought our MB 1120 allrad we decided on the name Gertrude, a little about her below! Our...

WOW, amazing info there Vegard! Thank you so much for this, Im gonna PM you now!

I have been talking to Aigner today on the phone and they have a 6m box aluminium miliary box, but they say they can cut it down to 5.5m. I really like the guys attitude and they can build the sub-frame and do the painting etc too. Question, at a wheelbase ofs 364 cm, length overall is 695cm (at...

I think the first one too, i got an angry message from her because she isn't quite finished yet :LOL: will need to buy her some wine for this evening i think

Alright guys, my girlfriend Thea has a background in fashion design and art and has made some logos for the project, what do you think? Which one do you guys like best?

Thanks Iain!

OK, so I have seen a lot of very nicely painted chassis on this forum and need to make the first decision in my build. The truck I am buying has been living on the west coast of norway for 30 years and has had anti-corrosion treatment like clockwork every 2 years (fluid film). As such there is a...

Question maybe for Vegard_S. Now the truck is registered as a Motorredskap (MR). Which means no EU / TUV control, no road taxes or toll. Do you know if I can keep this registration even after it is built out? Looking at similar stories on the Land Rover forums here it seems totally possible...
