Concur with Duckworthe. I have an M1079 licensed as a motorhome and there is no issue with registration, insurance or emissions. The emissions regs are not DMV regs, they are environmental regs through the Ca Air Resources Board (CARB) and have exemptions for RVs. All of that aside, the M1078...

Welcome to the community. I have an M1079 which gets out to the desert from San Diego about once a month - 100 or so miles each way and I cruise at about 54 mph. Usually do 15-20 miles of trail riding with it and have had only a couple of issues, which is a service brake diaphragm dry rotted...

Yes. Another Camper build - part 3 ***PART THREE*** INTERIOR _____ There really isn't much to do other than close in the shower. I started out with plywood salvaged from a shipping crate, but didn't like the creaking and was concerned about the penchant wood has for absorbing water...

SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE M-1079 "RESTO-MOD" CAMPER PLUMBING Purchased 2 ea 15 gal and 2ea 10 gal polypropylene fresh water tanks. Mainly because they would fit off the shelf and I hadn't completely figured out how I would install them, so that gave me some options. PROs -...

Mr Heater Buddy MH9BX

I haven't really spent much time in the real desert heat. But if you shade the box with a tarp and open the windows it keeps the temp manageable up into the 90deg range. The insulation works very well for heating, though. I have a Mr. Heater Buddy propane indoor-outdoor heater and it only...

ONE MAN'S OVERLAND CAMPER VAN BUILD First I was somewhat entranced by the look and proximity of the M-1079 which appeared on the GP auction site. Wheels started turning inside my head. THEN I saw GXV's Brazos version at well over $200K and thought to myself ..."I can do that for a...

The seat set up is pretty easy with the gunner's deck. Otherwise it would be just adding a plate which bolts into the body where the original center seat is. The seats backs fold forward, but not really out of the way The 1079 is not set up in a way which easily facilitates a pass through...

Hate to disappoint, but that's not a lift gate. It is a tail gate with a lower hinge line. I have a 1078 with one of these and the fittings for mobile shelter/container. I have been fantasizing about a liftgate on my 1079 camper though...

Michael, Best of luck and skill on the project. I have a 1079 about 90percent through to camper van. I have some rambling comments about my experience from the past year of muddling through my project. Again an M-1079, so some of the big stuff is already done. I like the box, since it is...

Ukraine train - they are front center seats. I thought about side facing jumps where the tool boxes are, just didn't think it worth the effort. Pointman - I am fine with the OEM seats for now, but may go with Fords to match the upholstery. So far I'm into this seat thing for less than $225.00...

Greetings LMTVers. My current camper-van conversion for my 1079 highlighted the need for an additional seat up front (2 adults+two kids) and after many hours staring at it and searching for the simplest configuration and installation, I arrived at a solution which is two 2009-2014 Ford F150...

RADBAD, top switch to right two clicks, bottom switch centered if my memory serves me...I will check tonight and post if you haven't sorted it out yet. Also helps to look over the PDP and check that the resetable CBs are holding and not tripped. My clearance lights tripped the resettable but...

Greetings, Recently acquired a 1078 which is missing the PDP - have not yet determined whether vehicle is WTEC II or WTEC III. Anyone know where to get one? Or have one? I suspect the vehicle was forded too deep and got water into the PDP, but can't be too sure, just know there's a gaping...
