I had a look at their website - very high-end quality. https://ebacamp.pl/

Do you know what weight loading TEJ have certified each wheel for (in kg)? I would be interested in buying a set of wheels. They are 17 x 10, correct? Do you know the offset (ET in mm)?

6500kg / 4 = 1650kg. -- but it is not that simple. I have already been through the certification process to convert to single rear wheels in the UK. The UK uses the same regulations as the EU, because trucks from UK travel through Europe and vise versa. Upon certification, a new weight plate...

The distinct advantage of cabovers, and vans too, is the greater habitat length per wheelbase. To get anywhere near that, a single cab long bed F-series/Ram/et al is needed, and in Nth America they are probably a better choice given the huge workshop networks and aftermarket upgrade market there...

Interested. What is the EU/TUV/DOT certified load rating for each wheel (in kg)?

The tank was definitely subjected to a vacuum implosion. Inspecting the breather valve showed it working (just), so I suspect there has been moisture in the valve which froze. I've installed a new alloy one. I found a custom tank builder, who luckily builds a number of tanks for certain...

If your Euro-spec Fuso is the same as mine, it probably does not have a low- range transfer case. If you are expecting to 4x4 in terrain where such a steep departure angle is necessary, then a Euro-spec Fuso is probably not the best choice for the base vehicle. 6500kg / 2 axles = 3250 kg. The...

Have you looked at the Woelcke company for layout ideas? - https://www.woelcke.de/expeditionsmobile They have built many campers on the Fuso chassis, some on the 3415mm wheelbase.

That is Blissmobil's generic 13/15/17' layout, for vehicles such as MAN, Unimog etc that have a much higher rated front axle than the Fuso.

Surely your spare wheel only needs to be high enough to clear the departure angle? How many litres of fresh water, and where will the tank/s be placed? Remember that the front axle load limit is only 2800kg, so it is not good to have them too far forward - in cab-chassis form, there is already...

@ Just my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (2020) phone, which can be pushed to 64MP. I gave up using cameras years ago, I find a good phone is all I need nowadays, and with the big screens that phones now have, I can edit and delete on the fly. The new Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is 200MP, and way cheaper...

Spent January in the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye...

That's what I thought. If it's a vacuum issue, the fuel pump must have amazing strength to keep sucking. I've found a check valve that will do the job - a motorsport one that flows both ways til the vehicle goes past 90deg angle, basically a stainless ball bearing blocks the outlet so that...

Walking past our truck today, I noticed to my horror that the fuel tank is stoved in, and subsequently the fuel pump assy is mangled! Weirdly, every section except the two ends have some degree of inward deformation. I figure it is one of two things... a) someone has backed into it b) it has...
