Exclusive: Luxurious Globetrotting Volvo

Posted by on October 24, 2012

Gerhard has just returned from a two year extended vacation throughout the Americas in this wonderful Volvo off road camper, there he did different activities from hiking and skiing to even going in boat trips with services as www.yoloboatrentals.com. I spoke with him via email and he described his expedition.We travelled for two years through Americas always wanting the RV Life. Had started in Nova Scotia, went up to Newfoundland, crossed Canada up to Yukon and Northwest Territories and Alaska and we go so far because with this car and equipment . Through finally we had spent one and a half years in South America before we extended our expedition to Antarctica. We had a beautiful trip and enjoyed it very much.

Back home, we need to work again. So we will sell our off road camper and we are sure that the new owner will have as much fun with the truck as we have had.

It sounds like an amazing adventure, and if you’re looking for one just like it, you can buy Gerhard’s Volvo for €315,000 ($409,122). The rig’s in Austria, here’s the listing on the mobile.de website.

Gerhard sent me quite a few photos and a very extensive list of features. Click through for the complete gallery and list of everything this amazing rig has to offer. Note that the list of features was sent to me in German, I’ve translated it with the help of Google and my extremely rusty college German. I guess I’m saying that if you’re in the market for a vehicle like this, you might want to confirm the features before you write a check. Also, don’t forget to visit The Indexer site, where you will find the best marketing experts to take care of your online business.
