Hi Gang,
Many thanks for the warm welcome, we'll post some pics as soon as we can figure out how to do so. Gerard, please check our Mog out when you visit AV on the 26th, it should be almost done by then, as we've never had a hand on it, it would be great for an opinion.
Cheers

Welcome!

We are driving up to AV on the 26th to do some more work on the chassis and add a rook-rack and bullbar.

One day we hope to add the camper part so we can drive slowly back to Cape Town and naturally visit Zim.
Hope you guys have a great trip

Gerard

Welcome from me too and what a small world one of my best friends lives in Moz. They own a dive lodge in Nampala.

Welcome to the forum, both of you. A Unimog and a boat... You've got both the toys that I hope to be able to purchase myself before I retire!

As Mick has already said - pictures of your tour would be great to see.

Hi

Sounds like you will be the target of much jealousy on the forum when you eventually get everything set up and running.

Would love to see pics of the finished machine on 'tour'.

Cheers

Mick

Hello All,
I am Rob, my wife Joan, we live in the city of Beira in Mozambique. We are new proud owners of a U1300l, which is currently at AV, having an RHD conversion, other repairs & additions, prior to shipping. As an old time diesel mechanic & being active in the motor trade, we have a reasonable amount of know how, which we intend to put to use in adding a camper body, currently awaiting the arrival of the vehicle. Our intention is to use the rig to tour our beautiful adopted country,  as we are avid ski-boat anglers, obviously with boat in tow. We opted for a Unimog due to the poor road conditions that can be experienced here.
Cheers
