Re: biggest tire size?

Hi David. I've had a few ex Swedish 716s and some 718 fire engines through my shop and these were all fitted with 235/85/16s, and they all drove very well on them.

My personal preference is BFG mud terrain, these were factory fit on the last Pinzgauers produced and I find them the best compromise tyre. (...

Re: Ambulance Camper Conversion - specs?

Hi Dave.
Look forward to seeing you there, there will be plenty of room by us for the tent, we're there sunday to sunday, easiest way is to give me a ring when you get there and I'll let you know which field we're in.
Cheers Nigel.

Engine conversion

True, it's not cheap, some people just prefer to drive diesels, they like the torque characteristics of a diesel engine. The other economy option is LPG, 60p per litre!! and coversion cost of around 1500 Gbp, doesn't take long to get that back. :lol:
