MAN HX 60 OFF ROAD: TIRE PRESSURE

As described in the blog about the switches of the MAN HX60, it is a very capable off road truck with many gadgets that can bring you far. Not using these gadgets correctly will get you more stuck and / or even worse: will break stuff. There are still some universal off roading rules that…

MAN HX60: WHAT ARE THESE SWITCHES FOR? A SHORT GUIDE

A MAN HX60 is a pretty capable piece of kit on- and off the road, especially when you take into account that it is designed as an off road transport truck and not a hardcore off road truck like the former MAN KAT 1. When we bought the HX60 we took it for a spin…

HEATING SETUP OF OUR MOUNTAIN YACHT

As we will be traveling in cold to extreme cold environments - for longer periods of time - heating is very important to us. We have put a lot of thought in what would be the best option for us to heat our Box and for hot water. We used to have a Webasto hot…

ELECTRICAL SETUP OF OUR MOUNTAIN YACHT

One of the most important things when you are building an Expedition truck is the electrical installation. Lots of choices to be made as there are many electrical ways that lead to Rome. We are not suggesting that we made the best choices or decisions possible, but they certainly suit our needs. What voltage? Our…

RUUVi SENSORS

This blog is about the sensors from the Finnish company RUUVi. We came in contact with these sensors by Mark from Bluepowershop.com where we purchased our Victron equipment and MG Energy systems batteries. When you have an Overland vehicle (or a yacht for that matter) with lots of appliances and technology it is nice to…

#WINTER IS COMING!

UPDATE 2024 We now have dedicated snow tires, including the 'snowflake' for our Mountain Yacht. We have been using them in winter 23-24 and they do really well in snow, but especially on hard packed snow and mild ice. We have not used the snow chains this winter, but we are happy we have them…

MAN HX60 COOLANT HOSE CLAMPS

Our Mountain Yacht has a playdate with BeBe from our English friends Jess and David (who took the picture above) and the HX60 from Margreth and Hans (NL). We have a great night with cheese fondue and tapas and the next morning we receive a tip from Hans: 'tighten the coolant clamps under the dashboard,…

THAT’S A WRAP!

We are busy transforming Monster towards our Mountain Yacht. We used the last two months for definitive planning, measurements and ordering the last bits & pieces. We also started with the actual build of the inside: heater, water and electricity, we will write separate articles on every part of that in the near future. We installed…

WINCHING PROBLEM FIXED AND BIG ALTERNATOR

When we first tried out the winch on our HX60 it was functioning without a problem. Except when we tried to take off the parking brake: the revs would drop and no show! So there we were: We had a fantastic Rotzler hydraulic winch but could only use it to recover other people, not…

MONSTER BACK IN THE UK

The guys at Motorcraft Adventure Developments wanted Monster in at March 1, 2022 so they could start with the build of our Box. Amy was really busy so I decided to drop her off by myself. I wanted to go to Hull again as this is the closest port to Doncaster, so I automatically had to…
