Unimog Club UK

I've been through most of the topics and threads and couldn't find any motorhome pictures. All mogs that I've seen are designed and equipped with tools for work. If there is anyone with the camper mog I'd like to have advices and share the experiences very much.

It's not garunteed but it's good practice when you put fuel in your Unimog put a litre of two stroke in the tank before filling up, make sure it's mineral, I don't know anything about the fuel where you live but we have low sulphere and bio diesel blended both of which did not exist when these engines were launched ! The two stroke oil will help the pump with lubrication.

Sorry I didn't understand what u meant by "stroke". What kind of oil is that? Is it the engine oil that we use?

Hi Mongol
If you can the best thing to do is buy the genuine exhaust the problem you have is your spare wheel and that you have long exhaust you can buy and fit the parts and the upright pipe but it will cost a fair bit ! Let me ask around as sometimes these parts are available used.
It won't make any difference to noise in the cab as its not physically conected to the cab upright, also the ambulance body is standard ? So will not cause any problem.

Hi Moose,

I already have the genuine exhaust. Purchased it 2 years ago but still have headache with the spare tire mounting problem. The back body is standard. But I did a lot of things inside of it. First took off the original heat and noise isolation material. Secondly painted the whole inner metal area with the special paint (bought from Russia. they say they use it on the space crafts. 2mm thick paint layer equals to 6cm isolation material).  And I think that's true cause I've tested it in really hot summer days and in really cold winter condition. Under the direct hot sunshine the back body is still cool. No need for additional fans or air conditioner. Winter case is a bit different as a lot of cold air goes in through the windows. But I believe the paint still helps to keep the warm temperature. Then I mounted a basalt wool pieces in order to be more sure regarding the heat isolation. So the exhaust noise will be heard very little in the back body. Not sure about the smoke though.
Just wondering about the driver's side in the cabin. As the driver is myself it would be very difficult to hear that exhaust noise all the time right above  my ears. Therefore would like to hear of your experience as much in details as possible before I decide to make this move.

With respect,
Mongol

I plan to fix the tire on the spot where the fire extinguishers are

Hello Brian,
Thank u for such a comprehensive respond. If it's just a characteristic of the tyre then what maker would u advise me to the best? Moose advised me Dunlop would a right choice as all round tire. I'd like to listen to as many advices as possible before investing in tyre change.

Thank u.
Mongol

It would take me three/four weeks to drive there ! A journey I would love if I had the time, I wonder what's the best route ?
The best all round tyre for your Unimog is Dunlop sp9 in size 405/70r20
I don't know why but I can not upload fotos for some reason it's something to do with my iPad
I'll keep trying today

Hi Moose,
I'm not sure about the best root. But I've seen a lot of motorhomes from Europe. They usually come in a single truck or by the group of two trucks. Think they travel on their own and surely had a lots of difficulties here. No language communication, dunno the best places to go and of course have no idea about the roads. Thinking about them it occurred me why can't I organise a trip and invite those motorhome travelers from abroad. We all like to travel in our trucks. Most of them equipped their back bodies with their own hands as well as I did. I was always eager to test those things that I had made in different situations and conditions. I think most of campers think the same way as I do.  It will surely be very comfortable and safe for them. Hence I'm working on the website that will show the beautiful places and difficult roads around Mongolia along with several routes. What do u think about it. If u decide to visit my country u will be most welcome.

There is one thing I would like to ask u about the tires. I will attach couple of pics if I'll be able to upload them. These pics are for front tires only. They wear out in a very strange way that I don't understand. I've been in Germany last year and saw couple of military mogs and they all had a same tire wear out. Think u will easily understand what I mean by seeing this pics.
