  • These bodies make every camper's heart beat faster: Individually designed and extravagantly furnished long-distance motorhomes are the latest craze on the caravan market - at least for those amateur campers who can afford the unusual models. The off-road companions and rolling luxury suites have no upper price limits. Who are the owners of the most expensive caravans in Germany, and what about the hoods of their rolling homes?

      Why would we? you lied about this video. The title is motorhomes for adventure. Off road caravans. This is about a fire truck conversion and nothing else. I'm sorry do you even watch these shitty videos before you post them. It would really help when you get around to naming it. Ass Face.

    Speaking as a truck driver, I thought that old Mercedes would be a dog to drive (having plenty of experience with that model) But after the upgrades, it looked prettty swish as it goes. I've got to say though, That M.A.N is a real beast. I'd love to take it on holiday, but i wouldn't want to go into any wilderness or dodgy countries for fear of bandits. My destiniations would be plenty tame!

    What they fail to discuss is how many place you can actually drive those things - the beautiful, desirable locations don't allow giant trucks tearing up the pristine landscape. In the locations nobody cares if it gets torn up, nobody wants to spend much time in because it is dull and un-glamourous. Expensive overland vehicles overland about 20% for actual overlanding, the rest of the time, they will be where everyone else is - in campgrounds, in parking lots, and on roads.

    The quality of the build would amazing if this were offered by any of the bigger camper makers, but it's downright staggering for a DIY.
    The level of clear vision and innovation is just amazing.
    The bathroom looks like it works well and the inside/outside pantry access will be standard on top tier campers in the future.
    My only possible change might be the exterior color to better blend in with the intended operating environment.
    Although, as many boaters know, white yields less thermal stress on the skin and makes for a cooler interior which is a big plus in the warmer climes, and/or seasons.
    All in all, on a scale or 0-10, I'd give a "100". Out of ten. That's how beyond full scale I see this.

    As always, love the Germans total dedication to quality from start to finish. Seems to me the problem of allowable weight for the rating of the owners driver’s license could be improved by the driver qualifying for a superior rating? It becomes evident that this isn’t a huge factory set up with high end equipment to do the total build under one roof. That’s ok for me. It shows they hustle parts and trucks from wherever they can and then have to engineer on the fly, take in customer requests and modify to supply. They are a small group with broad skill sets. They discussed the length of the chassis may be a problem over harsh terrain. Would it be possible to have some kind of articulating knuckle in the middle so that you could momentarily accommodate a high center type of situation. It would offer the owner/driver an option to safely drive his rig out of that unbalanced scenario. love the mock-up on the separate wooden unit that will be the layout the customer wants.

    We have many "Grey Nomads" traveling around Australia in RVs and caravans/trailers. Some of them want to go north, up Cape Yorke. Very few of their vehicles survive more that 20 km or so off the bitumen. They shake to death on the corrugations. Proper off-road vehicles like these are the way to go. We've been building them for at least 60 years, but probably not as lux as these ones.

    (26:36) - Don't like the way that ceiling edge "underlaps" the side wall.
    OK, it will be sealed but after a few years of harsh sunlight and other extreme weather, the sealant will become brittle and crack.
    All along the top edges is just rain-leaking waiting to happen.
    If only the outer edge of the ceiling *_overlapped,_* rather than underlapped, then any failing sealant would be much less of a problem.
