This is probably one of the best Unimog expedition camper conversions ever seen!

The design and workmanship is superb, she's an absolute beauty.

 

[gsfgaz]

I agree ... a cracker

 

[Adze]

What's the similarity between a Land Rover series III 2¼ diesel and a Unimog?

Neither will break 60mph unless you tow them behind the 9:02 Paddington to Penzance Intercity... or push them down a mine shaft I suppose.

In a bizarre twist... the Land Rover is slightly less economical on fuel

100% autonomy, eh?
So, how do you get internet access?

I wondered that too. A wifi dongle perhaps?

or piggy backing an unsecured network...

Wow. That's a lot of class workmanship.

i don't find how i can post a picture in the message, butt 'll have a look and post one later on today.

hi all,
i got a 4x4 swiss army camper truck, perhaps not very bushcrafty, but very cool though.
i have been living in it for a while now, and try to obtain a 100% autonomy, and wonder if there are any other users on the forum living life the same way...?

Where did you get yours from please??


I've loved this one from afar for quite a while now ,its beautiful and roomy but would require some considerable cashflow to get and keep it moving!! However , what a beaut!!!!!!

I had a 4x4 camper for a while, until SWMBO pointed out the insanity of the maintenance costs...

Ohhh,,, pretty!!!

Any internal phot's?

 

[tobes01]

Here we go. She had all mod cons - hot & cold running water, shower, toilet, sink, gas hob, fridge, 2 bunks... Ex-army ambulance fitted with a 300TDi engine. Problem was she'd already been to Capetown, so a lot of bits needed overhauling, every time I took anything apart African dust and sand came out. I had planned to drive her around a lap of the Med, but so much for those plans

 

[wicca]

Cheating I know, but here's my 'camper' for the Med. I have only managed 17 nights ashore under canvas (well nylon) so far this year , but it has been a bit damp up in the mountains in the photos' background. Getting warmer each day, but still unsettled.

Nice Lines!! Sleep compartment over the Cab? Must leave a lot of space in the back
Any Internal Photo's??

How much work have you done to it ? Whats the fuel economy like??
Have you got a little motorbike on the rear??

 

[BorderReiver]

Nice GWP too.

 

[dakrido]

I got a parrot that lives in a cage in the sleeping compartment over the cab.
the main bedroom is located in the back with storage place below.
my girlfriend is busy making a blog, which isn't easy with the slow connection we've got, but it's got some more pics on it. the site is latortue.eu
so there you got the camper's name... la tortue (turtle in french)
like all permanent 4x4, the truck consumes quite a bit. i think around 25L on 100KM.
but it's almost the only expense we have, so that's fine.

ps border reiver you almost got the breed right, it's a deutsch drahthaar.

 

[Nemesis]

If its diesel and with the right fuel pump have you looked into using veg oil? Very nice by the way
