Torsion free chassis?
Hi, I am building an overland camper with a 2003 Mowag Bucher 6x6 truck. Starting point is the torsion free chassis. I understand that on most vehicles this is an absolute necessity. On 4wd trucks there is a huge amount of chassis flex and hence, you need to mount the cabin or box on a chassis that can flex. Now, on these Mowags, there is virtually no flex at all on the chassis. As they are 6wd they have two axles on the rear which reduce flex significantly. I have had the rear of the truck up on a forklift and the torsion is minimal leading me to consider whether it is possible to just mount the cabin or box directly onto the chassis. This is a first build, so my experience is precisely zero, anyone out there got any comments on this dilemma? Thanks.
