I think it was Fast Fred that posted something about diesel stoves being available through marine sources.

Here's the stuff for sale off of this web site. Pretty pricey stuff, but the thing I liked best is the toilet. Take a look:

So, it's a High-tech Porta-Potti?
Most of the places where folks want to empty porta-potties, will be pretty unhappy when you do.

Dickinson has a website and has diesel fired ranges and furnaces that require NO electric.
Hamilton Marine (ME)stocks Reflex heaters that are a bit larger.
None of these units require the gamble of electrical power for months of operation.
The "Expedition" vehicles are common in europe ( as common as $400,000+ Mercedes based trucks can be ) in a land where half a workers wages are siezed by gov.
Many travel to 4 th world countries , Romania , Bulgaria , and other remnants of the "Workers Paradise" so have heavy armor over all glass (including inside the windshield) and are heavily reinforced.
A common problem , at least in Italy is having an opening created so knockout gas can be pumped in , after which the vehicle is emptied , while the "campers" are knocked out.
These Mercedes trucks are 4wd with raised axles like the VW camper had and have about 20 inches of ground clearence to the skid armour.
Nice , but even poorer milage than a poor coach.
Usually tight inside as there 20 -22 ft overall.

But don't forget the big red letters in the operators manual from Dickinson:
"DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT UNATTENDED".
OK for boats, the timid and paranoid, but I like to get out of the bus some times and come back to a warm place without all the liquids turning into solids. |

Wow, great looking stuff, but way above my $pay grade$. Guess I will have to be happy with the surplus, cheaper stuff. Thanks for the great connections with the neat pics. |

......in a land where half the workers wages are seized by the government.
How do they get by paying lower taxes than us? |

In Italy if all "legally" required taxes were actually paid it would amount to 140% of the GDP.
Tax aviodance has been a great European art & sport since long ago when currency was actuallly money!
