^^ no question there, hit the west coast show. It's definitely worth the trip from the east coast, so you are already half way there :D

In the US, no RV (licensed as such) requires a special license, save some states which may require a non-commercial air brake endorsement for large motorcoaches or OTR based trucks like Renegage, Kibbi, Dynamax, etc. What OZ may require of an American visiting "should" be the equivalent of what...

Maybe not the elevation and the large waterfalls, but the Scottish Highlands are beautiful. Northern Ireland isn't so bad either.

They are commonly used on reefers, or refrigerated truck bodies to get to the (over the cab) cooling units.

Or you could use what millions of box trucks and flat beds around the world use and rigid mount the box to the frame with a piece of timber and u-bolts and be done with it.

Interesting comparison, especially with the 80 in the mix. Specs/dimensions on the two boxes?

"I see" sayeth the blind man. :D

"obvious question" = how do you have an engine from a tractor, or anything else for that matter with "zero" emissions? In the US, we have ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle), SULEV (Super Ultra.....), and PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) for combustion engines. As such, "zero" emissions would...

It's a bit late now, but if you have these in Oz, they are awesome: http://isispower.com/products/

Screenshot, crop image to size, save, set as desktop, done.

How much research and/or planning did you do for your route and stops along the way? Like many here, I go out to get away from the hustle and bustle, so the last thing I want is crowded tour buses, loud music or campgrounds full of people. That completely defeats the purpose of "going away" IMO...

something along that line yes. I was thinking that would eliminate having to pack something between the dishes and would prevent sliding around, possible chipping, rattling, etc. Maybe a horizontal "shelf" for each plate or saucer to sit on then the whole thing gets lowered into the drawer as...

You may wish to take a page out of the UNICAT book and re-design your crockery drawers: scroll for pics: http://www.unicat.com/en/pics/MXXL24AH-MAN8x8-sh-2.php

I cant tell you what the axles weigh, but I can give you a way to get "pretty damn close" on the sprung versus unsprung weight if you have some time and a set of corner scales. Weigh entire vehicle on corner scales and record all weights. Then raise the vehicle, preferably with a commercial...

To address the CO issues with a small, well sealed and insulated space, there will be a CO and/or CO2 monitor in place, as well as a small fresh air intake, likely hidden in a cabinet or under body storage box, under a bed, etc., so it does not compromise sound or heat insulation. Additionally...

I will try not to get too far off track here, but will instead attempt to share the results of my findings from many hours of research (talking to people about their builds, i.e. real life experience, talking to manufacturers about their products at trade shows and such, reviewing technical...

See, Vic followed my four step plan and wound up with a very nice rig for about 25k, which is "tens of thousands" less than 165k :D

according to this article, reporting from last year's OVEX, there are at least four companies making a flat bed camper. http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/weekly-blog/flatbed-truck-camper 1) Buy used cabover and get into good working order 2) Buy or build flatbed 3) Buy flatbed camper 4)...

Several months ago, I began a search for a quality pair of made in the US (or another first world nation) hiking boots. I don't have to tell you that the list was short. MANY products that we are all familiar with, big names like Merrell, Columbia, Timberland as well as some of the smaller...

Now, if you could kindly load that into a container with some other bits and bobs bound for the west coast of the US.... much obliged sir..... :beer:
