Hello all! Im Ben Evers, from Canada EH! What a great forum you have here!
Ive been researching the RV lifestyle for about a yr and ahalf now and think its something id really enjoy/would suit my lifestyle. Ive been looking at Rv's for quite some time but came to the conclusion that they were more or less crap.... Then i discovered Expo Vehicles!! :Wow1: So here i am... still thinking of selling it all and running away(ok... driving really).
I have an option to buy a U1300L 20,000KM X-military rig from germany (I think it has the overdrive too!) and was wondering if it would be a suitable base for a full time expo rig? I know its possible(ive seen the pics!). Im wondering about the restrictions/problems i may plan to encounter with such a chasis/build.
Here are a few of my requirements
-serviceability and availability of parts(the more i look at this aspect the more i like the mog)
-sleeping area, kitchen and washroom facilitys including shower
-lots of electrical power!! I am a glass artist and would like to have a trailer to pull behind with a self supporting glass shop in it. This would require 120/240V power and 40 amps min. Ive been thinking a PTO gen for the mog may be able to do this??(any downside to this idea?) I would also like solar and maybe wind for the times im not working.
-Motorbike for getting around on 400CC
-The ability to pull a trailer(preferably with off road capabilitys as well) with aprox 3-4000lbs of glass and tools
-lots of storage, lots of fuel and lots of water would also be a big +
Im sure theres plenty of other things id love to bring/have but these are my bare essentials if i am to seriously consider this.
So... What do you think? Is the U1300L for me? Or should i look at something a little larger?
thanks in advance!
