RHD Conversion
22 Aug. 2013 12:18
Apologies for only being able to write in English.
I live in Australia and have become very interested in the Steyr 12M18 truck as a basis for overland travel. My wife and I are planning on taking an 18 months trip coming up in 2 years, and I'm looking to buy one converted into a camper.
The issue I have though, to bring it back to Australia after our travels, it needs to be RHD. Does anyone know if this has either been done or is possible? Initial queries have either been negative, or suggesting a dual control with a chain connecting the two steering wheels.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
welcome to the forum and have fun here.
An interesting question but unfortunately, I can not really answer it. Maybe RHD can be realized on the base of a driving school truck with two existing steering wheels. A few 12M18 driving school trucks were sold by the austrian army. But I'm not sure whether this will work. Maybe an owner of such a truck in the forum can answer this question.
regards
Ronald

Thanks Ronald. I've had a setup like that offered to me before. Dual control is seen here, but only in garbage trucks and specialised vehicles. What I'd need is for someone to finish the job, which I don't know of any companies here who could do the job. Know of some others who'd be interested in the answer, the Steyr and Man Kat have both come up in conversation.
Regards
Joe
