The Camper is mounted on a cradle which allows the Chasis to flex without placing stress on the body. There is a flexible joint between the cab and the camper that allows an entry point from the cab to the camper. The front mounted Damlier/Benz PTO winch has a 3500kg line pull.   The Camper is compact but does have a double bed, plenty of storage, a marine style toilet with black water storage tank, shower, fans and most mod cons.  There are two electric water pumps drawing water from a 60 lt tank mounted under the body. We normally carry four batteries and have an auxillary Honda motor driving a 100amp alternator.  This enables us to camp for prolonged periods without having to move the truck to re-charge the batteries.
The truck is a 404-S (404.115) 1966. M180 Petrol Motor. Fuel economy averages 4.5 K/ltre.  Michelin R 10.5 x 20 tyres are fitted . Steering is RHD . All electrics are 12V.  Fuel system is driven by two electric fuel pumps. VDO Transmission temperature guage,  Rev Counter. and two Radio/Cassette players are fitted.
