    MAN TGM OFF ROAD HOME

    Awesome looking rig.....love to see some interior shots. Does the 60% rear overhang rule apply to your rig?? Only asking as I'd have loved to put my spare on the back with pushbikes but only have 100mm to spare lengthwise.

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    I couldn't agree more. Having gone through a "build", I understand the enormous amount of labour involved, as well as the R&D aspect. I based mine on an ATW bus, and can in no way match the quality of build they have acheived. All up costs for my finished rig came to $100k AUS, and considering...

    Fuso FG 4x4 Custom Expedition Vehicle Build

    Mine comes in a tad under 3.1m.....I've put a sticker on the windscreen as a reminder.....arbitrarily chose 3300 as a "safe" height....all will depend on dips etc.

    Anyone Installed an Incinerator Toilet

    Agree. When deciding on toilet type for our rig, we went for simplicity, reliability and performance, hence the composter. Disposal of liquids on a daily basis and solids on a 6 - 8 week basis is easily done. Only moving parts are a computer fan, crank handle and toilet seat/lid. Having had...

    Composting Toilet Tips and Tricks

    We have an Airhead unit in our camper...very happy with it, the liquids bottle is easy to access and empty, a simple matter of loosening 2 wingnuts and pulling out. No mess or spillage.

    Nearing the end

    Tyres are Kumho 285/70 R19.5 KRD 02. I've nothing to compare them to so cannot comment on relative performance.

    Nearing the end

    Just an update... Took the unit for a test run in July....Coffs Hbr, Carnarvon Gorge, Townsville. There our son made a fuel tank and some lockers, then off further North to Cooktown, finally settling in at Lakefield NP for a few days. Systems worked pretty well, with the exception of the alcahol...
