It all depends from the weather. I have not checked exactly the length of each charging cycle, but I can guess that from 70% (prox 460 ampH to full 660 ampH) it takes 4,5-6 hours. We are rarely under 98% of max charge before sundown. We are using Bogart Trimetric battery monitor to see exactly...

Hi. We are on our way of driving to Argentina with our truck. The plan is now to drive to Banff and Jasper and the from there to Yellostone. That all will happen after the winter season ends here. I think we will not make it to Oregon.

Hey guys. Here is quick update hows everything has holding up. We have yet to hook up pur truck to shore power and everything still runs on solar power. 600W of solar is sufficient for this kind of setup. Would be maybe better to have lets say 150-200W more solar. Have had to use normal houshold...

Thank you! We are now in Alaska (Anchorage) allready and looking for a good (cheap) shop where to buy 230v to 110v "step down" (or 12v to 110v AC and some 40Amp fuses(with box) what can handle 90mm wire. Anybody here knows where we should go looking?

Our on-board systems take the diesel from the truck engine diesel return line. That's why we where looking for extending that line inside the main tank. Our webasto systems dont have return also. We have been asking around and easiest options would be just to add extra tank or to drop another...

Have been in Canada now for a week. Went to local Halifax Mercedes dealer and got our rear suspension units re-tightened. Wanted to get fuel return line (where is all our Webasto units connected) extended inside the fuel tank, but was advices not to do that. They say that hot diesel from return...

have been lost in France Sorry guys that it has been too long since I last updated our thread here. All that traveling is a full time "job" and has not had any time to do so. Our little truck has been good to us and hasn't broken down once. We have been having some small problems with our...

That door can be found here: https://www.reimo.com/en/35054-kab_tuer_1930x556_1xzad_re/ We are now heading to Monaco to see the F1 race this weekend. The truck is running like a charm. Average fuel consumption is around 30 mpg. Thats more then we ever expected. Our solar+diesel system have kept...

After some more 15-hour workdays we have finally something to show off. Here are some pictures of nearly finished build. Some painting jobs and siliconing still is needed to be done. Plus all the electrical stuff still needs to be organized that it will look as if somebody else has done the job...

Thank you all for your kind words and yes, its a garbage bin. CNC cutting was done for all those 3 reasons mentioned here, but the main reason was for ventilation. Big plus was that we got the job done for almost free :) We dont count our own working hours and our uncle has that CNC machine. Its...

After a full week of 15 hour work days we are so tired to write but here are some pictures what we have been up to.

Little update what we have been up to. One major thing has changed from our original floor plan is that clean water tank is now situated on the right side of the living area. Changes had to be made because of the calculations on equal weight on both side of the truck did not add up in the old...

Here is some updates on our build. Just yesterday finished building walls for shower room. A front wall of the bed area was attached couple of days ago. Local Mercedes dealer was the one who attached that roof spoiler. That was something what I was not confident enough to do myself. Would not...

There will be storage area under the living box on both side. It will start at the front of the box and extends until plastic back axel mudcuard. CNC guys started cutting into our furniture doors. And here is a picture fresh out of the cutting machine. Doors still need to be polished and...

The shower/toilet room will be on the front left corner(left from the fresh water tank) . It will be brox 1000mm x 850mm in size.

Thank you Mike for your kind words. I have followed your build and read lots of other posts here on Expedition Portal and found million things how to improve our project. I think the idea of building that kind of overland camper started when we stumbled upon project M.A.D. It's a beautiful...

When we, two restless Estonians, travel we always think ahead what kind of adventure we will be doing next. We where taking a break from non-stop traveling over a year in SE Asia and sitting pretty in our rented house in Bali. That's when all this idea of building a “house on wheels&#8221...
