Iain_U1250 - linked to your awning mods, I think your window cover solution was superb and should be on your list, light weight and easy to install, much easier than replacing scratched windows down track, or worse breaking one in the field.

What a shame, this is one of the few threads that I watch, and thought you had approached the issues with complete transparency.

Yeah I wouldn't have thought the coachwork would work for a proper camper, but it might be a cheap way to get the chassis! And as others have stated, Go Orange is haemorrhaging money with the borders shut to their main market of international tourism.

For those in New Zealand, and looking for a Unimog chassis, Go Orange are selling their 5023 based buses...

Wow that looks great! The vortex generators confused me for a bit as I thought they were part of the attachment system for the walls!

No of passengers possibly? Seatbelts would normally need to go through that process I thought? Cant recall if you were having the ability to carry passengers in the rear. It is something we have found handy in Dad's motorhome. We had a 6 berth, seldom used it more than 2 up as a motorhome, but...

Truck is really starting to look good! Fireball tools - now I am a very amateur welder but I find them fantastic, the tabs allow you to hold tube stock square in a couple of axis! Spendy especially with shipping down in our hemisphere, but starting out teaching myself TIG welding is so much...

A lot of Autocad product is free if you are a student, or have a university email. I use Inventor and whilst I haven't been at Uni full time in many years, the odd paper here and there has allowed me to keep up to date software!

I love the big pictures, and great to see some progress. You can insert just a thumbnail into the post that would assist those not on broadband.

I think I made some fundamental errors in the model of the truck , so I think more likely to be at 3.8ish..... I haven't yet started the search for panels. I have seen one camper made from a roofing product with steel/foam/steel in Auckland, and there is Clark Global...

A great build and a shame your first proper trip has had to be postponed! How tall is the box itself ? Just starting the planning phase for my own build so you may get a few questions! (Though I am now off to your website to trawl through there for answers first)

With legs that raise and lower it. Drive truck out, drive truck in. https://www.riecotitan.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_66&product_id=53 https://www.riecotitan.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55

That's a decent idea, could even just throw a roof top tent on initially. However the concerns around height made me think I have mucked up somewhere...... so I compared my model against a couple of commercial outfits, and I clearly have my wheels positioned incorrectly in the quick mock up I...

Looks good! Could you use some RHS for an uptake each side like you did with the modified exhaust? That way they could sit closer to the cab and act in a dual role as protection and intake ? (Pipe would be easier and could be curved )

A single spare will be mounted on top of the cab in front of the camper section. As this is intended for NZ mainly a single spare is sufficient in my mind as often wont be far from assistance. Yes, whole box insulated, I have seen the moisture problems on other cab overs and have seen a few...

Hi Neil I did a few more checks and total height is now a little under 4m (3928). The box is 2236 high/deep at the rear, another 200 to fit the sleeping area, so any shorter and I would not fit...... I also needed a false floor to fit tanks as this will be a lift on/lift off box. As I was...

I think you could incorporate the snorkel and the frame, if the frame on the other side keeps that same curve it would look quite good. But your also in Australia what about something like this

How close does the DCDC have to be to the battery bank? I am looking at approx. 1.2m away with current design, I would ensure that the wiring is up to task to avoid significant losses there.

Hello all, New to the forum and thought I would say why I joined - to gather information, steal ideas, and improve on a very rough idea I have for a future Expedition vehicle. I plan on using a crew cab Unimog to explore all NZ has to offer. I plan on building a body that can lift on and...

I have drawn up the following with the intention of the spare going on a cab mounted roof rack when the body is on. Will be a lift on lift off camper body, so spare etc can be relocated onto bed when having some fun! Flowing down the right hand side from the front is the bed over the cab...
