:wacko: We had a (little) shower at our TruckCamperMeeting in September 2015. The "North-South" profile in the middle of the roof is screwed through the roof to the frame. Original there was a plastic profile in it. (no seal). We had a few drops of rain in the rear and next to the...

Hello Chris, we considered to rebuild the entire roof but stopped this idea later. there was no budget remeining for this project. So we sealed every gap and every screw with butyl-tape and sprayed the roof two times with the tintable bedliner . If it leaks now..... Lets have a shower... :D

A few years ago we had a joke here in germany: An american tourist told his tour-guide: "I am proud to live in the United States: We have George Bush, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash!" The german guide answered: " Your are lucky! We have chancellor Helmut Kohl, no hope and no cash....."

Because of the high cost of a nursing home, we should think about alternatives. Please excuse the "non-perfect" translation :D "I do not want to go to the rest home while retired, I'm going on a cruise!" When I'm old I will definitely not go into a nursing home, but on a cruise ship. The...

We succesfully finished our first trip to our annual truck camper meeting. It took place at the border Saxonia-Anhalt / Thuringia. This is a very nice region with beautiful nature and lots of cultural POI´s. But nevertheless for a lot of people it is not a preferred travelling region. So the...

Our US-Ford -specialist in Germany Ford-Beck at Wildflecken/bavaria told me that an additive is not needed with our fuel. But i will check this out. My Fiat Doblo with it´s common rail system got 6.5 fl oz of high quality 2-stroke-oil per tank ( 13 gal. ) It runs very smooth, without any hard...

Thank you for the hint. I will ask our US-Ford-Dealer via E-Mail. Which problems did you have without the additive ? I know the inverse Problem: Most of the newer Diesels (EGR / DPF ) have bigger Problems running on high sulphur Diesel. This creates expensive trouble with the electronic and...

Upcoming problem: The camper was loaded and because of the happijac-tiedown-system it was not possible to close the tailgate. >First we removed the Plastic blocks from the system. But it was not enough! We decided to do a cutout from the tailgate and close it with some Epoxy and fiberglass...

On the way to our first truckcamper meeting in 2015 at the "Holy mountain of Andechs monastery" we made a big step forward. We loaded the camper on our truck! Using Hi-Jack-copies was a little difficult . The camper swayed on the four poles and it looked dangerous: WE had to lift it 16 inches...
