Re: something new...not Pinzgauer, though
Don't see why this concept couldn't be adapted to a Pinz. This may have to be my next project in 5 years or so.

Re: Gas grade: Regular, Mid or Premium?
Getting back on subject of gas grades, does altitude affect the choice of gas grade for high altitude driving?

Re: 712 rear door problem
To remove the panel twist the handle from the inside while pulling the panel from the inside, assuming the outside handle and knob are removed.
A spring may want to pop loose so beware and keep an eye open.

Re: Gas heater info
Looks like a Benmar Made for the US Military back in the 70's but there were other manufactures that made a similar unit.

The top plug ( the one with the lift ring on the top surface) is actually an inspection hole.

Re: Hydraulic Fluid Floaters !!!!
Yes I went through the same thing and that is what happens to brake fluide after sitting for a decade in a unused system. The entire piping system will have that solidified brake fluid in it, I flushed out my whole system, brake lines and hydraulic lines.
