I wonder if you might do well to list it on bring-a-trailer? I don't generally see expedition vehicles there, but plenty of other cars and trucks (I found my Unimog U500 there, but bought it outside of BAT when a buyer fell through) in the $100k-$1000k range that have serious buyers. Money seems...

I haven't built out my U500 camper yet so I'm mostly just going to lurk on this thread, but I will say that it is relevant to know what your wheelbase is since the longer it is the easier it is to run the toolbox aground on a some convex surface.

I didn't want to complicate my story, but ultimately I also want to have a TPMS receiver that is USB or CAN to link into a multifunction display screen I am developing. I think I have found solutions for that that will work. At least initially I also wanted a dedicated display too. That is part...

I have a Unimog U500 with Hutchinson beadlocks and two spares where I would like to attach higher-quality long-battery-life TPMS sensors internally to the beadlocking cylinders. I'm wondering if it is possible, maybe with a sensor programming tool to allow these sensors to work with any of the...

Yes I understand phased-array antennas - I guess I should have said that it is technically possible, but I assumed they would not allow it. The problem is that they know what you are doing - you are not connecting to the satellites moment-to-moment that they are intending you to for the region...

I just wanted to point out that this could theoretically work in the sense that there will be some Starlink satellites in view overhead (versus a northern view in the northern hemisphere, and southern in the south), but my understanding is that they don't allow this for several reasons -...

I'm trying to make sense of your clamp setup. Is this for inoperative transportation only? How does this dish manage to point to the North?

Yes, same here in the US. I also have a Volvo C303 which is all 24V and had no problem with all of the appliances, inverters, etc. The only issue is things like ham radios with seem to be only 12V. Unfortunately, the NA version of the U500 is a mix of 12V and 24V. It uses a 12V alternator and 3...

48V is just close to the maximum of what is considered "low voltage" human safety-wise. It is more of a pain in that nothing designed for automotive or trucks can use it directly. Many things like DC refrigerators are either 12V or 24V for example. In the PoE and network hardware world many...

I'm definitely listening in on this one. We already have Starlink at home and I have other units ordered for a more remote property in the same region as well as for a Unimog U500 we are building a camper for. I'm an EE with DC-DC converter experience so the plan is to build something custom for...
