Check out the 1963 Unimog 404 they have for sale. It's in Auburn, ca. Cool

Flippac repair I picked up a very used Flippac for free a few years ago, that had the usual lid failure. I was thinking to cut off most of the lower camper shell portion and putting on my M725 ambulance. Although I changed my mind about using flippac I think it would be easier to build a new...

Awesome find, Unlike my 67 m725 ambulance, yours already has a modern 1 ton drive train. As you probably know surplus Hummer 37" tires and wheels are cheap. Banks makes a turbo kit that really wakes up that 6.2 GM diesel, but for my money I would drive it like it is and plan on a Cummins 5.9...

The om606 is said to be the last of the great diesel motors from Mercedes. Unfortunately they are not that easy to find here in the US. There is a guy on YouTube from Sweden that puts a bigger turbo on them and competes in drift events. If I didn't already have a project I would be looking for a...

That's great info BennyHana thanks, maybe that is why they are being auctioned off on government surplus sights.

After a little more research and your excellent responses, I think it's time to put the military crock pot idea on the back burner. I love the idea of including one in my camper project, but the 24 volt 15 amps is a problem. I'm now thinking the Shuttle Chef thermo cooker is the way to...

My m725 is already 24 volts but I plan on converting to a 12 volt dual battery setup. The boating dual battery switch that connects both batteries to make 24 volts may work or perhaps a 12 volt to 24 volt step up converter that can handle 15 amps. Of course it may prove to be more trouble than...

I recently stumbled upon the isotherm HWR (heater water rations) and the RAK 15. They are military crock pots made to heat water and MRE's while on the go. http://www.isotherm.ca/heater-water-rations-hwr.html http://www.feedtheforces.com/Literature/RAK15_leaflet.pdf Imagine driving the camping...

Google; Maygood rv windows . There was a minimum order of 10 windows, but that might have changed. They also make some pretty cool rv doors too. I had to wire them $1400 in advance ( scary) but they are the real deal. Just e-mail Cherry their on-line rep For more info. Cheers - Charles

Best RV windows around I still have a few Seitz - Dometic top hinge windows available. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Seitz+window&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=Seitz+window&_sacat=0 Thanks

Seitz - Dometic windows for you DIY-ers Hi all, I'm tired of the rain already. I know we need it but is putting a hold on the camper project. At least, after a few inches of rain I can say I'm pleased to say the window installations are the driest part of the truck. I will reseal all the rain...

Hey Sojourner, Good to hear from you. I'm trying to do as much as I can with the stock motor / tranny as long as it keeps running. Currently doing some gas tank filler hose mods. I hope to find a whole donor vehicle for a complete motor/tranny combo like you did to make life easier. Should be...

Bats & Rabies Yedi, Sorry for the hijack, however if it prevents someone getting sick i'm sure it's worth it. I'm sure some of you might have heard about the two guys that found a bat, the first guy picked up the bat with a plastic baggy and the second guy for some reason stuck his finger...

New windows for the jeep ambulance M725 My jeep M725 camper project is slowly moving forward. I added two Seitz-Dometic windows: Awesome light weight, insulated windows with built in bug screen and shade.
