I've been researching this for 3 years. My design has changed a zillion times. Mostly after talking to people that I would consider experts. If you have not attended the Overlanding Expo, please do so. Ask a lot of questions. Tour the Earthroamers, GXV's, the DIY builds, and investigate your...

Interesting points Geo. I understand what you are saying. Quotes from Ulrich Dolde: "Standard shelters which can be found ex army, border guards, police, fire brigades and humanitarian organisations, and secondhand refrigerated containers have a clear price advantage making them a good choice...

I looked at this. Everyone has different needs. If you do part-time warm region tours only, this is a nice way to make an RV. If you do a 4 season RV full-time, avoid this type of build. Thermal bridging issues will lead to condensation and mold. It is a huge issue and PITA. Once you get mold...

I post on that site too. Just have not been there in a while.

Get the E Book, it was cheaper when I bought it.

Correct. Attached with Sikaflex.

I am doing the same build. My advice is to get two books: http://www.doityourselfrv.com/german-army-truck-overland-camper/ https://www.wohnmobil-selbstausbau.com...

New or used price?

Yes, record the process! I need to do this too.

I think all of us have a different perspective. Certainly it is your call. You asked us for our opinion. Ship it to me and I will make good use of it : ) Scrap metal prices are very low right now.

Good ideas. Thank you.

I am doing a cooling system update. I looked at the parts list spreadsheet, but the hose sizes, cross references are not shown. I used the search engine on here and did not find much. Anyone cross these parts and willing to share what civilian parts they used? I'm aware that Eastern has the...

I agree, keep the whole thing. By the way, you can get a new block for around $700.

SS members are awesome!

Washer hoses replaced with 4MM silicone rubber. Will not fit under stock plastic covers. Plastic covers are shot anyway. This hose is thicker and will last 10 times as long. Original hoses very shot. Jet clips broke due to UV exposure. No surprise. Everything placed fine with zip ties. There...

Rear view camera installed. Replaced PYLE camera with IR security camera. Much improved quality and now has really good night vision. Can't really tell from this picture though, since the photo washed out. Alternator noise noted on screen, so will need filter.

Trailer 12 Pin cord showed wear on insulation. One trick that I use with minor to moderate insulation wear is to spray the insulation with liquid electrical tape spray rubber. I used this on the NATO cables in the battery box too. Works great on road rash or UV breakdown and makes it look a lot...

Curious if people use wood or a steel jack base plate when changing tire?

Do you have any pictures or video of your rescues?

Flex Seal 😅
