Has anyone heard if CFS are intending to build any more 14's and by that I mean real one's that can carry at least 1000lt plus some reasonable stowage. I cam across some interesting articles the other day on the latest Canter, made interesting reading... refer links:

On the subject of 14's any news of how Eden Hills 14 is progressing?. Cheers

The canter 14 needs to be designed with a decent stowage space and some extra space for those things that a Brigade would like to have. They look good in the Adelaide hills and with DEH on them but in some parts of SA they are not so practical. From the write not much has changed mechanically but it still by the look of the picture the same back end problems of having a too small tray space. May the CFS needs to get creative in the design or consult with the brigade that they think should have one.

I would be interested to know if this is just a trial prototype or the first of the next batch of however many ??? It would be good if they could consider a version with out the crew-deck. Sure would allow for additional stowage, as that area is just wasted space for brigades in the Hills area.

Dunno about a full size 14 [as in canter style], but i wouldnt mind one of those QAVs to compliment our 34.

I'm finding the old TTG14 / revamped Belair 14 really good in the Hills. A true 1000lts, decent pump (PTO 350 gpm), decent stowage and 60m hp. Seems to work well in the local environment... Could be a bit faster though. Would be interested to see a similar build on a new Turbo'd Canter or Izusu NPR

The closest design that I have seen would the twin cab "ROSA" build from Moores.

Has Booleroo got that 14 yet

Don't put to much more gear on it or you'll be going backwards. I wondered where that appliance went.
I've driven most CFS appliances and they all seem to lack a bit of get up and go, not saying they need to be rocket ships but a bit more go would help.
