Down Under Australia 3 - Unimog U500Global Expedition VehicleMog Heaven
Mercedes Unimog Extreme Off road 4x4 (eBay item 150568191747 end time 06-Mar-11 16:05:10 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats This is the ebay link for an older (1965 mog camper)
I'd grab it in a sec if I was in a better financial position.
But this is definately the way I'm looking to go in the near future. Cheer guys looks like a great forum.

I think that model runs on petrol. One of the first things I would do is rip that out and go with a diesel.Quote:

I also saw one at Captain Billy landing ( up Cape York way ) set up as a camper.Terrific setup and one tough well built mother.Quote:
