Buy This Unimog and Camp at the End of the World

Between the rise of overlanding and the popularity of nomadic, van-based lifestyles, modified Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans are popping up everywhere. While a Sprinter conversion van will get you most of the places you might want to camp, it will not get you everywhere a car can go. Enter this 1964 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 404, a German military vehicle retrofitted into a camper.

A speedometer measuring in kilometers goes up to the equivalent of just 62 MPH, so do not expect the M180 inline-6 to get you anywhere particularly fast. The strength of the Unimog as a camper platform is its capability, and the portal axles, dual-ranged transfer case, and generous approach and departure angles ensure that the truck has the ability to climb, ford, and traverse its way to camp sites that could normally only be reached by spectacular, purpose-built overlanding rigs.
