This is a proper Motorhome. 2 Storey, 8 wheel, all wheel drive. Aussie built.

For my next camper, I think I’ll go down a route similar to this, probably on a Unimog chassis which can be changed from RHD to LHD with a box body.

Something like this.


This (2005) one is for sale for the price of a new Coast. I think I could make it expedition ready for about the price of a new 4Motion Ocean.

That’s a serious bit of kit.

 

[Amarillo]

even though you probably don't speak german, you may well have a closer look at it

That’s a great find - about the only thing I understood was the 30 litre hot water storage tank.

Thanks. I enjoyed the tour of the coach.

That’s a serious bit of kit.

Running costs would go up for sure. Someone on this forum said they’d just done a 3,500 mile trip to Portugal. I think it would cost in the region of £2,700 in the Unimog cruising at about 50mph. Probably better for heading to Morocco or Mongolia. Iceland out of season would be a blast.

We have a whole fleet of Mercedes Zetros at my employer.. like a Unimog on 'roids. I've always wondered if one would make a great camper! Could keep the hook loader on the back, and dump your home anywhere

That is indeed. Please let me know when any of your fleet is being replaced. Genuinely interested.

While studying at an architecture college in Chennai, 23-year-old ARUN PRABHU N G did some research on slum housing and was struck by the poor utilization of space in these structures. Residents would spend somewhere around Rs. 4-5 lakh to build a house, but it would not have a toilet.

“I was researching slum housing in Chennai and Mumbai, and realized that these small spaces that could be improved by instituting a proper design, to create toilets, bedrooms, etc. and make the house more habitable,” said Arun Prabhu.

He spent Rs 1 lakh building a portable house on wheels called ‘SOLO.O1’, modeled after the Bajaj RE.

“My objective is to use small scale architecture and show people what we can do with such tiny spaces. Also, portable housing can inspire better temporary housing for construction laborers and emergency housing during natural calamities,” he quips.

This auto rickshaw's 36 sq ft space not only has a bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet, bathtub, and workspace, but also a 250 litre water tank for water, 600 watts solar panels, batteries, cupboards, hangers, doors, and staircase for drying outside

Yeah maybe, but trouble with a camouflaged vehicle is you can never find it again when you come back from the shops.

Makes it more aerodynamic.

Makes it more aerodynamic.

And the canoes on top means that it will float if rolled over?

See posts #27 and #31for the video of this little 'extension'.

But one could also do it inside the rickshaw itself, well almost:

Trying to convince my son to go out experimenting with his Clio. But he's lurking towards my Cali, the brat .

I guess that says more about London flats than about the camper.

Luckily I don't live in a London flat.
