i just got the handover contract for the truck, I pickup prob around middle of November, meanwhile they take apart the blue lights and other fire truck stuff i assume. I am actually picking this up directly from the fire station so I am going to ask if they have any old service pictures of her...

Thanks! It is reassuring to hear things like that! We will use the truck firstly in Norway, extended MTB and ski touring trips. Hopefully in 2022 we can set off for a Africa kiting and surf trip following to west coast, in that regard I was looking at Truma air-con unit but i so not like the...

Happy to hear from you VerMonsterRV! I have been reading through your build with great interest, you had such great results! Before the RV we were very close to purchasing a GS 54 from Luca Brenta but the deal fell through at the last moment, we caught our breath a bit and settled on the idea of...

Ahh yes, i was looking on the Aigners for a while, never got around to calling thou. I just felt the dimensions of those boxes was a little limiting for me, the idea of a garage and ample standing height (194cm) really appeals to me as well as at least 60mm insulation for ski season :) I am...

I am talking to box suppliers in Germany, Alu-star and Füss-Mobile so far, but I plan on getting prices from Ormocar too. The idea of an Aluminium box is very appealing to me thou and working out the details with Alu-star yesterday was very pleasant (whereas Frank from Füs seems to be just...

its really cool! do you know any sources in the EU?

A very handsome build Grenadiers! I have looked at some of those army boxes on mobile .de but discounted them due to size and insulation. I think the work to extend and properly insulate one might end up being quite a lot of work and expense? I have never seen one in reality thou. Very cool...

This was funny to read, truth be told I have not really told many friends yet as this is so far out there in my circle I think it will be met with some weird looks, but who cares. I have wanted one of these trucks since I was little kid in Greece watching all the German and Austrian trucks camp...

wow, amazing thread! I have found this evenings reading! Loving the 3D rendering you did too, im just trying to learn sketchup now but it aint that easy even with my background in IT systems. It is an impressive MOG you have built yourself! I am not planning a 100% self build due to time issues...

Hello Vegard! Your comment is most welcome, i thought i would be pretty much alone in Norway undertaking a truck conversion :eek: We are currently based in the centre of Oslo but moving out out the city about 20km North next month. It would be very interesting to meet and have a coffee and talk...

Thanks! reassurance is welcome regarding the 1120!

Sorry about the screen grabs

Thanks for the encouragement Sitec! A lot of decisions to be made still but I hope I can see this project through and enjoy the overland lifestyle. Previously traveling with my LR4 and camping equipment skiing and mountain biking but felt it was time for a capable rig. Right now I have no idea...
