    here a page with an awesome collection of sweet Japanese built campers, which the NZ dealer obviously imported to NZ and sold. Does anybody has a list of all Australian complied campers? http://www.pouringrain.co.nz/campervans_motorhomes_sold_list.htm

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    fridge Engel SR90F, needed a little more cut out to fit. The Waeco CR1080 fits perfectly as a replacement to the common 3 way fridges, which don't pass compliance due gas and 110V. I had VERY bad experiences with the Waeco fridge, sold it and got the Engel. The Waeco takes to much power, never...

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    a few photos of the seats I designed. The original seats were worn out, not comfortable to sleep on, didn't had much storage underneath and were very heavy. This are simple 20mm aluminum frame boxes, very light but stable enough. With different wholes in the top I adjust the back rest, and to...

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    hi all, just got in mind that if you decide to import an Elf it would be wise to find and talk to the very few compliance workshops in Australia. They are licened for those few models and know them in and out due their own imports. They will receive your truck right from the harbour and have...

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    after a while now I discovered a few more things about my Elf. I love it! One thing that has been an issue was the very soft suspension in the front. I replaced the shockies, no change. It also pulled a bit to the left. Now the wheel Alligment guys figured out how to adjust the steering and also...

    I found here several Elfs http://www.caravancampingsales.com.au/ @PTG thought you wrote NZ, but it's Tassi. I remember an "open" Gas heater is great to have, when its so cold. I used to have that model back in Europe. It's awesome to see, which Japanese models they let into NZ. I met a young...

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    hi guys, I got it over a year ago, the one on the photo I believe. I went through the whole thing, bought it, received in a less good condition (typical rust), complained and got a good refund, repaired and upgraded everything. After all I am pretty happy with the Elf. There is a lot of info...

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    is there a source for Isuzu spec sheets which includes that Isuzu 150 (only called in Japan Elf). Would be interesting to see what 4x4 parts, gearbox and engine block they used Maybe it's an early NPS with simply smaller pistons?

    Isuzu elf terra 500 get one from Japan

    yep, that's the one. the ones exported are all 94 or 96 models and at least here in AUS quite a few dealers got themselves some over and trying to sell. Two Japanese manufactures and at least the Terra 500 model looks pretty well done inside for me, and it's a solid Isuzu 4x4.
