That’s kinda rude and provocative. I got no reason to lie and I believe you when you say you have sold simple builds for more than 100K. That is the beauty of diversity. Some people is savvy shoppers. Some don’t care.

With a little effort you can get Revel for much less.

Is this the same vehicle that was for sale in Vaccaville CA? A short while ago?

Registered in which state?

Thanks. It looks like he made it. It also looks a lot like a fiftey ten ( http://fiftyten.de/en/ )

That sounds about the same as Unimogs, Iveco Trucks, MAN Trucks, Pinz, LTMVs pretty much any of the larger trucks are going to lack comfort and be noisey. But the NPR / Fuso seems closer - not close - to what we have gotten used to with our daily drives. And, at least the times I have driven...

I am in California or as DzlToy puts it Commiefornia. Take a look at https://www.enterprisetrucks.com/truckrental/en_US.html you might want to call ahead and make sure they will be giving you an Isuzu Cab Over.

I am gonna assume your questions are for DZLToy. But I have driven those trucks. I have not driven the Fords. Only Toyotas. They are noiser, less comfortable. But I assume that can all be fixed, or substantially improved. New seats, sound proofing. I can rent the Isuzus at my local Enterprise...

DZLToy thanks for your response. It helps a LOT! There were a couple of others here from Davidl3 ( I think ) but they seem to have been deleted. He recommended a Dana 60 at the front and I think a Sterling for the rear. Do you know of any shops that can do this work? Do you know if this has...

one thing to consider and make sure you are happy with, is how the tent is put away. I have a Baroud that allows for putting a spare wheel on top. On a long trip to Alaska with my 8 year old, I came to hate the RTT. Every morning it was an utter struggle to put the thing away. The struts -...

Be careful with the K02s. I found in wet icy snow, the tires don’t shed any build up and you can pretty quicky find yourself with a perfectly smooth tire. Other than that i have had no problems in 50k miles, from the top of Alaska down to the deserts of Cali.

I want the truck registered in Cali. As far as i know that limits my options. Unimog Dokas are more than i need. MAN trucks and other options, including many MOGS have to be 25 years old or more. They are also bigger than i want. But maybe i missed an option? So i said where i need to register...

Looking for new project.

I am 90% certain that my base truck for building a camper will be a light truck and not a Sprinter. Sprinter costs right now are insane and the end result cramped and limited. I need a crew cab - dog kids etc. I would love 4x4 for peace of mind but no matter how i look at it i need the crew cab...
