MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Dutch 68]

It's nearly 4 year old!!
Unfortunately they stopped making the orange ones from 2021, but if you'd like to put an offer in she's up for sale lol View attachment 898908

Put an orange wrap on the new one, it looks fab in burnt orange

 

[Lenny HB]

No he has enough to deal with between Tam, Smiffy & Co and now he's going to have his own new van too to work on,
No I've sent an email of to those 2 off grid boys Lenny recommended and see what they say...
Trouble is there's only really room for the one battery as below the drivers seat is the compressor for the air suspension but we'll see what these boys say

I thought the air suspension compressor and tank are normally mounted under th chassis, mine are.

 

[Northernraider]

Vegan leather you say... ?

Does the one battery do engine and habitation like? Surely not.

If its a 150ah lithium habitation battery that should be enough surely if you stick a solar panel on it too.

I thought someone over there said it's under the drivers seat but you could be right I'll check when I get it

It's never seen a cow lol . It comes on a roll probably from Pakistan.


I had a mate once who got his vw camper reupholstered ..he was adamant it was alacantra suede but he couldn't answer when I said how did they get the skin on a roll ..

For years he argued it came from an animal...

No ordinary heavy duty starter battery and then the 150ah lithium for the habitation....
I've honestly no idea what it needs I've never had lithium in a camper van before so it's all new to me

What air are you having fitted, full 4C?

Well the compressor fridge will be the heaviest drain I'd imagine .. but 150 lithium is equivalent to 300 lead acid etc. And if you're parked up in one place for more than a few days , solar would keep it charged up.

The 240v fridge was what used the most power in that big euramobil I had but it still managed if it was bright and sunny ... but it was just lead acid batteries .

 

[Mikey RV]

Rosie loves the portholes! Lol and sure it'll remind me of my boats...
It's white which I like with the black graphics and dark windows, I'm not dying about the other new colours, gunmetal grey and dark blue, not really what I'm after, it's very similar to this one I seen in Carthago last yearView attachment 899004View attachment 899005

If you wanted a van with Portholes you could have had a seventies custom van in orange.

 

[CaptainPaul]

What colour this time, I love that Orange, is it advertised on here ?

No haven't even done anything to sell it yet lol but I'm sure it won't sit for long, every time I look on the net they're all sold

Yea I'll definitely get some sort of solar sorted for it, I'll wait until the 2 brothers that do all that off grid stuff get back to me and go from there

No just the rear (helps me with my acid reflux!) Lol

£20 per mile !

Deprecation on purchase not cost to run.

If it was cost to run in fuel , it would need a trailer just for the extra fuel for a 50 mile run.

Yeah bit when it's cold you can put more clothes on or put the heating on. When you're too hot there's a limit. You can't remove your skin

It’s a lot easier to warm up than cool down

You would have to say that living in the frozen north.

I've been in Sweden in minus 20° if you get cold it takes days before you feel normal no thanks give me 30° any day.
