Foams have changed over the years, so a vintage 6" is waaaay different from today's foams.. Do yourself a favor a visit a decent foam shop, explain what your after and try a few different thicknesses as well as types. It is expensive but in the long run its worth getting comfortable stuff. ...

Your looking at a minimum of 20K plus import to get a very basic (x military) U1300l .. cruising speed is 55-60 for a turbo OM352 tuned well with the appropriate axles.. Axles come in standard , fast and superfast flavors.. New Mogs can go way past 500K depending on the bells and whistles. That...

I get the front to back levelling but how do the two rear stabilizers work, I do not see any way to adjust.

Thanks for all the input , I will definitely be doing ribs this year... I will probably go with the pre-cook and then onto a low fire for the last 1/2 hour. Gets me hungry just thinking about it.. :) G Vavra

Always have enjoyed ribs, has anyone done them while camping (over/under fire) . At home its usually three to four hours on low heat in tinfoil in the oven. Done them on the BBQ same way with no problems. Just curious if anyone has cooked them with the campfire. Or has anyone precooked them most...

I'm seeing the dry weight of a FWC Hawk ( 6.5 regular bed) @ 1100lb, Alaskan at @1400lb. Not a heck of a lot of difference. If your vehicle is a newer 1/2 ton your paylout could be between 1400 - 2300, but like mentioned above , your truck probably will not like it..Move up to a 250 and your...

I did not realize that they were mainly rectangle/round...looking around I found ''Valeo-Cibie of Brazil"" manufactures E-code lights for you mainstream N. american trucks.. From the Ford site''''They make several versions of the headlight, roughly similar to the US-market styling variants, and...

Interesting how this thread got a tad off topic.... with the talk of LED and other light sources I do not believe anyone has mentioned E-Code lights....Puts the light on the road where you want it rather than up and out. I have had them on my vehicle for 5-6 years and they make all the...

As my vehicle came factory equipped with on board air (Mog), I have never given having air a second thought..For my vehicle there were two choices for air, belt driven and cam driven... Now I know that a cam driven system is very engine specific and probably most will not have this option...but...

I have been trying to find any old documents for my old Dometic fridge (spark issues) . Came across two service manuals, from 69 and 73. They were very helpful to me so hopefully someone else can benefit as well.. G Vavra manuals here...

Cpdog Thanks so much for the pics, they are exactly what I was looking for... I had welded up a very similar set up except without the bottom cross tube. I bolted things in place only to find that there was too much ''give'' in the structure which resulted in the door going out of...

Couple of questions Is the steel frame just the front and back pieces that we see in the pics?? If so did you reinforce the floor to prevent sag?? When mounting the camper on the deck how do you secure it (Bolts thru frame and deck?) Thanks in advace. G Vavra

As a fellow Unimog owner I find what he did that nice U500 pretty sad.. It's come up on the Unimog forum more than once and I believe the general consensus was in the negative...but hey ..to each his own.. If you go to the kiravan site be sure to click on the ''trip'' tab...oh wait , thats right...

When I drew up the design I was somewhat concerned with the inner bolts trying to pull thru. Initially I had designed the front ''outriggers'' to go out an additional 16" for wheel clearance but since I welded up the rear 'shorter' ones first, I installed those to see what it looks like and was...

After way too long of messing about , I finally made some time to cut/weld/paint/mount my camper jacks... The Alaskan is going on my flat-deck that is fairly high (48") so I had to figure a way to get the camper high enough with at least 6"-10" of clearance, to mount and unmount. With the jacks...

Thanks for the quick answer... G Vavra

I have the intention of bolting my 10'NCO on my flatdeck but I was just reading another thread regarding fiberglass Alaskans '''Other interesting information was that the top half does not need to rest on the truck bed when in the down position'''. Since my Alaskan is NOT fiberglass does this...

Thanks for your response Rusty. I guess my question is more...I can lift from either the ''top '' section or the ''bottom'' sections do I need to reinforce anything??? I'm kinda assuming that most people lift from the ''top'' section as it seems everyone has a pick-up with sides. I will be...

Hello All. New Alaskan owner here. I have been wanting an Alaskan for quite a while now and was able to get a 10NCO that the previous owner had done a complete re-skin in Aluminum. I have a couple of questions that I have not been able to find answers for, looking with the search on here as well...
