Mighty Magirus Deutz 4×4 Camper
This incredibly beefy looking Magirus Deutz 170 D12 AK/1 offroad camper looks ready for anything; from a long term African expedition, to the scary mountain roads of the Andes.

The truck features a 5.4 liter turbo-diesel, air-operated diff locks that can be triggered on the move, 600 … Continue reading
Superlative Unimog Camper
This is simply stop-me-in-my-tracks stunning. An amazing 1977 Unimog 416 motorhome conversion that is just too beautiful for words. It was posted for sale back in 2009 for $40k on the Eurotech Services website, as well as on Expedition Portal. As you can imagine, someone snatched it up. I’d love to know where it is … Continue reading
