Unimog Truck Campers

[RobertRyan]

My Sister sent me this photo of a "gaggle" of Unimog based Truck Campers. Presumably the body is detachable. All I can say they look huge

If you camp at a Walmart you could charge :B

Now there is an idea, campsites with Tesla chargers for those with electric cars or trucks in the future!!!

80hrs to get full charge off 50A service to be able to travel 500 miles...

I do believe Tesla superchargers are bit faster then that..

I agree. Even my little chain driven toy benefits from a center axle driving half-shafts:



My other even has gear reduction in that extra height:

That should do it, as long as it is a sunny day :B

If you only travel 200 miles between campsites, it would take two days to recharge.

Don't need that much. Just have to stay camped longer, that's all. 🙂

Always wanted a mog.

Then I found Stevens and Stewart surplus M1079’s....and want one of these instead. Not on portals, but CAT powered, Allison auto, 46” tires, CTIS, and pretty reasonable price wise with easy parts available. Check them out, if you want cool over the top and throw a TC on one and hit the road!

Comparing this



to this



to each of his own

Well $7000 or $150,000.

If I won the lottery sure. One is obtainable for me as a toy, which is all either would ever be for me.
