The caption says it’s Turkish, but the comments section corrects that. The RHA crest on the front bumper is a giveaway LOL.
Now that’s what I call 88-■■■■! If I’d had a cab like that on mine I might have escaped the maritals long before I finally finished digging the tunnel!

The latter, I would say. Imagine it without the sunvisor, and the front corners of the ice-cream van bit miss the front corners of the cab by about 6"- in different directions. If that does not convince- look inside the cab- the rear windows are day cab ones.

I thought the window arrangement may have been a la early Scania, where the passenger side was glazed but the driver’s side was blind.
Look at the back axle, it doesn’t seem right and the turntable appears to be too far back for a bogie drive, more like a single drive set-up.
This is the same photo as the one I quoted from page 2, only the paint scheme has changed.

It had me fooled the first time around. I’m a wiser old dog these days

Here you go fellas,this is how it really looks. It’s a Beaver restored here in NZ,I took this at a truck show a few years ago near Auckland.

I remember the F10 Globetrotter ‘‘Kitchen pack’’ cab with the sink and running water etc, but I did not know it was available on the 88/89 models.
Looks a hell of a spec sleeper for it’s day.

It’s certainly a fab spec for it’s day but I wouldn’t have fancied running too far with a 60-gallon tank, whoever made it! Unless, of course, they meant, “an EXTRA 60 gallon tank”?

There might be an 80 gal tank on the other side, RoF! In any case, with 1000 litres in the trailer belly tank it wouldn’t have been such an issue . Robert

Where do you put the dirty dishes for your Mrs to wash up then?!

You leave them in the sink, which is on the passenger side.
And if you want to be really helpful you could leave them to soak in soapy water until you get home!

The original Volvo tank was mounted on the nearside on my 88 with a saddle tank on the chassis, fitted with a tap and a length of plastic hose to drop the extra into the main tank. Until I got around to fitting a locking cover to the saddle tank I experienced the “self-service” brigade emptying it when parked overnight! Boss swore I was flogging it, so I made enquiries regarding my future career, made my excuses and left.

Just leave them sloshing about in soapy water for 500 miles or so. That should do the trick.
On a (very slightly) serious note- did anyone make a “washing machine” thing for trips to uncivilised places? I imagine some sort of lidded/sealed tank with a couple of cricket balls in it. Something like that.
A couple of aquaintances on m/east overland runs had small hand-cranked washers of the type intended for caravan use. Very successful, apparently.

The temptation to attach an old starter motor and bolt it underneath the trailer…
