Iveco 90-16 manual and more questions
Verfasst: 2019-08-07 17:50:42
Hi,
Sorry for writing in English; my German is poor. But I can read it well, so feel free to answer in German!
We have been planning, thinking, talking, reading and making lists, drawings, budgets, 3d models, etc for over a year about building an expedition truck. Family of 5 (3 boys: 10,12,15) and a dog. No world trips, just summer holidays and breaks, but we're getting tired of standard campings, and I don't want to drive around in a fridge. We like something with more character that we can build to our wishes. Initial idea was a Mercedes 1113, but a bit more comfort is wanted, and an Iveco 90-16 seems like a good choice.
But I like to be well prepared before we make a decision and buy the actual truck; It's going to be a big project and we want to make sure we have all the information to make a decision. I'm no idiot, but have never worked on or owned a truck, so I know I have zero experience on many fields. But again, no idiot.. :-)
So I hope some of you guys can help me with the following:
1 - Does anyone have digital manuals / workplace handbook of the Iveco 90-16
2 - Are there any owners in the Netherlands on this forum? Or any (oldtimer) truck owners in the southern part of Holland that can help me with stupid questions?
3 - Engine spare parts: how hard are they to get? What are the most difficult parts to get? What parts should you certainly bring on a trip?
4 - Body spare parts: same questions...
5 - We are thinking of using the Doka as a living room and making beds/kitchen/bathroom/storage in the back, with a high soft-sided pop-up roof. I like if the truck is low while driving. But perhaps you guys have other ideas why I should not do this..?
I have many more questions, but let's leave it for now..
Danke!
Matthijs
