Hi Dan and Dr. Parts.
Thanks for the tips and offer to help with part numbers etc.
Nice to know there's a camper similar to it in the US, at least I'm not alone on the N-A continent :-)
A Unimog dealer in Germany is hoping to get me a CD ROM that apparently has all the exploded diagrams for my L406D, as well as part numbers. The brand of CD ROM is EPC-Compact. Hopefully I will be all setup with parts info with that.
If not, I will get back to you (Dr. Parts) if there is something I cannot find.
Whether the parts can be ordered from local MB dealer is another thing. I figure it might be cheaper to order directly from German supplier (in part due to the horrendous dollar exchange rate when ordering from the US - I'm in Canada).
The truck runs well (engine smokes a bit of blue smoke, so perhaps valve stem seals are worn?). The previous owner got about $2000US of repairs done to it before shipping it across, at a Dutch MB dealer (mainly brake, electrical, ball joints) so it should hopefully not require major repairs for a while.
The camper's electrical hookups are all european (220) so I probably will have to replace some components if I'm going to use it connected to AC at campgrounds.
Cheers!
