fascinating web page, I got lost for an hour and had to bookmark it.....

3km/1 is not great mileage, but our 8 to 10 mpg does not seem too bad.

I have been watching Imogs' for years, and find it very useful to see where
they store stuff.

thanks

Gene,

Glad you enjoyed it!

3km / 1 works out to:

3 km = 1.86 mi

1.86 mi / 1 litre

1 litre = .2641 gallon

1.86 X 3.786 = 7.04

7.04 mi / 1 gallon

Considering the size, weight, and CD of Wothahellizat that's damn good.

Plus with six wheel drive Rob doesn't have to worry about getting stuck on
wet grass (or ANYTHING else) that's for sure!

I must admit it definitely is not as good looking as a GMC though!

Rob Mueller

I have followed the MKI for years. I like the interior and the skylight he built into the roof. Very nice interior.

He has not produced many pics of the MKII and I have wanted to see more of the new model.


For whatever reason, he tried to sell the MKI but it did not sell.
So what do you do with an old RV you don't want???

He tore the cab off, shortended the frame and built the MKII

I can't say anything, I have done crazy projects myself....

LarC ( I keep watching for those MKII pics, they will show up sometime,)

I'm pretty sure I remember an article on this vehicle

from about 4-5 years back in "Truck Trend" magazine.
