Five Quick Questions
Best Gadget
Maybe not a gadget but, half the rear wall folds down to form a deck & the top half goes up as an awning. This adds the illusion of a lot more space, also a lot of fresh air!
Best Space Saver
Slide away toilet; slide away washing machine; slide away hand basin.
Can't do without...
Diesel powered room & water heater.
Trips Planned
A few short (3-4 weeks) in the near future, then away for months at a time.

What made you choose this one?
Cab/chassis was available at a discounted price without wait. If it is good enough for Unicat & Action mobil to use MAN, it is good enough for me!
Main criteria for this project?
To be able to go anywhere I want, for as long as I want!
To be totally self-sufficient for at least 4weeks.
Modifications undertaken?
I have built the body from the chassis up.
I've added
1. an extra 220 ltr diesel tank
2. power-take-off to drive an hydraulic winch & lift for the towing assembly
What would you do differently?
No sliding bits.
