Hi Peter, 12 mm foam core would be perfect for making drawer carcass' and 19mm for drawer fronts. I will be using mechanical and chemical joining techniques for building the cabinetry and drawers and doors. The each piece will be joined with its neighbor with dovetail joints and Sikaflex or foam...

You hit the nail on the head, I want to be able to control the thickness of the S-Glass or carbon fiber for all the panels. I will be using foam core composite panel on the interior as well, any divider wall, the kitchen cabinetry, and storage built in cabinets and drawers. I plan on building...

Thanks for the heads up about set of panels for sale

Yes, I have checked out Total Composites. I have heard their panels are made in China and not of the same quality as companies produce in Deutschland, Austria, and the Netherlands. Thank you for your reply

I am in the planning stage of designing an 220" X 98" habitat for an overlander expedition vehicle for full-time living. I have planned to make my own foam core composite panels using 3-4" foam sheets with E-glass skins and then vacuum bagging the panels to consolidate the epoxy and E-glass. I...

Hi Joe, I know this thread was a while back, but I figured you would know, what was the exterior length and width of the habitat box you had on the MB 917AF? I am in the planning stage of my build and I want to have good access to USFS road, bridges, tunnels, etc but also have enough space as I...

I know that Steyr is now part of MAN trucks, what are similarities and differences between this truck and the 12M18 or the upgraded Excap Steyr? What model number is this? What is the length from the back of the cab to the end of the bed rails? Do you have an entire spec sheet you can attach...

Thank you for the info

Hi Jake, how easy or difficult is it to import a Steyr 12M18 into Florida, I live near Daytona Beach so you are not far away. Do you have any for sale that have already been imported with low mileage? I plan of building the living area myself I am just looking for the truck.

The Steyr 12M18's carrying capacity is 11,464 lbs which is more than double carrying capacity of the Stewart & Stevenson's M1078 which is 2.5 tons (5,000 lbs). The S&S has an electronic automatic transmission(higher chance of breaking down), the Steyr is a manual transmission with one crawler...

Has anyone on this forum imported a Steyr 12M18 recently? What challenges am I facing? I live in FL and I am looking to import one of these to convert into an overlander. I am a travel nurse and need a rig capable of full winter conditions in northern states. I will build the camper box similar...

Hello, how many miles or km are on this Steyr? Is this constructed so none of the water and waste tanks will freeze? I am a travel nurse and take contracts in the winter in northern states so I need a fully winterized rig. Does this overlander have chains for each wheel? Thank you in advance.
