Off road Camper TRUCKS

[Monito100100]

German Engineering, best of the World!!

[milasevic]

@Monito100100 Iveco is italian

[Monito100100]

@milasevic ,Unicat is german engineering.

[666milktray]

put the camel in the truck:D

[666milktray]

them camels looked shocked to see a truck on their homeland

[davidtoh77]

wow with this i can stay where no others can reach.

[44musher]

What idiotic would be doing this ?

[nunayafb]

@44musher The irony of using the word idiotic when you are trying to say idiot :)

[EnricoMarangonJunior]

The tires are stored in the roof trough a built in hoist... take a closer look.

[franciscodudeful]

Why do people dislike this?

[Sierrafied]

id have my bike on the back and a helicopter on the roof

[yappertrap]

does it come with machine guns...

[srvvlhm]

It looked like the Sandcrawler from Star Wars, coming over that dune. 

[MrSafetymeeting]

Why do people always say only Americans like oversized fuel hogs? Clearly evrybody who can afford it, likes it.

[berniedmj1]

Nice!!!! Um... How do you get your huge ass spare tire off & on from the roof?!?

Take this to glamis & people will trip out!!

[MsToasterlady]

The Argau Camping Toasters would be a great accessory

[aaokiwan]

They will BRING you the parts along with someone to fix your truck....so you don't need to "FIND" parts for it.

[dwljr89]

good luck finding parts for it lols

[larrythecomfortguy]

honey I found our new RV

[Tjady1997]

lol

[aaokiwan]

google Unicat which is where this video was posted originally

[lr94rrcc]

why doesnt the US have these? what the hell

i want to see inside one of these

[flatpat]

Why the fuck do any of these videos show the interior of these things?

[w1ldyovvnz]

go get me a garbage truck, ill go make one myself it would be pretty much the same except i wouldn't have a stupid car holder on the back of it

[sixtiesforever1966]

I saw a Off Road truck similar to this traveling around the world. It was in the Arizona Desert town of Sadona, USA . Does MAN build this on their 8X8 chassi ?

David

[DVeck89]

They look like garbage trucks

[Charles2337]

An affordable option are Sportsmobiles.

[veedubyuh82]

whats the gas mileage??? 2 miles per gallon??!!

[atti70]

i have a Mercedes 815 expedition vehicle from unicat

[TheMainMan318]

looks amazing and pretty fun to have an expedition is, im just wondering what happens if it runs into some heavy cross winds

[roomrumblers]

Gosh. There are some supremely ill-informed people commenting on this. Research and an appreciation for what an unlimited budget can yield is a good start.

Check the many off-road truck races, e.g., Paris to Dakar is a good one.

You don't see any American vehicles at all.

[blumajikboi]

ridiculously poor design. with all the chassis flex I am amazed that the cab stays attatched to the frame let alone the camper section. Who cares about 2 feet of ground clearance if the ass end falls off

[johnye5]

Thats not Chassis flex it an air ride cab.

[Gaytze]

@blumajikboi You must be an engineer? Well I am not, but as far as I know, the chassis is designed to flex, otherwise you would have a good chance of breaking the chassis.

[perki1952]

@blumajikboi A ridiculous comment !

[kuruptsoul]

I tried that with a uhaul, good thing I had full coverage...

[BrantFortunate]

unicats are too beast.

[jedirifleman]

awesome campers but i bet they cost the same as a house....$100,000 -$500,000

[BrantFortunate]

most of them cost more than that.

[tbirdpimp07]

looks like a garbage truck

[TheAquaSpecialist]

extreme hydraulics XD

I want one!

It needs to have a generator tho XD

[redbugiii]

they all have generators !! that's why they're so damn big!!!

[1nm1]

You also could see solar panels on top in one of the angles too.

[hankgs]

Those are nice trucks for open country...It would'nt be able to drive on ANY of the tight off road trails I drive on in the Sierra's!

[Orthopaede112]

if i will ever get 1'000'000 € i will buy one off these vihicles ...

[Rasoglumsteve]

@Orthopaede112

yes man 

[sgtlabar]

pretty cool

[jag217]

elitist pigs destroying the landscape for your own personal pleasure. shame on you.

[spankybrandonf]

well i want one just because its cool.

[vabiskvadrat]

Why not Tatra

[songthirtyone]

That truck has some seriously good articulation!

[xraycortina]

Personally I'd stick with a Unimog U1300.

[septicbrainstem]

...it's all fun and games til you're stuck n fkd @ 120deg! b da last bad choice you made..

[bfrance2002]

I like the truck, but the guy is irritating.. "Find your center" ...Marketing weenies..

[kampuskop]

How much?

[12valvepower1]

alot

[mtbwarrior]

too much.

[xxxxBootyLoverxxxx]

this IS what l need.

[mtbwarrior]

no, it is what you WANT. there is a difference.

[xxxxBootyLoverxxxx]

will mr.mtbwarrior its good 2 know that u know what l want and what l need.thnx sir.

[staplesInk]

that are trucks made by unicat a german firm. sad that this firm is gone in insolvency last year. good and pathbreaking ideas. but under costumers i think. the cheapest vehicle cost around 100.000 euros.

[4tom2u]

it is dangerous to go to the toilet during the ride

[ef8cybercrx]

At :49 Why did he park in the camel mans way? That guy's a bully! :)

[giarca88]

lol thats what im thinkin.

rv X-ing?

[SurfinBird1975]

haha he's asking for directions. the guy in with the camels smiles and answers 'this is desert you can go everywhere'.

[DiggermanNo1]

Buffalo1973, I am partner in Tatra dealership and have competed in Europa truck trial in Tatra T813 8x8 Kolos, also we have built Tatra 6x6 rally assistance trucks for Dakar rally, so with out being big headed I know what I am talking about.

[bueffel1973]

Well, DiggermanNo1, I didn't say that you have no clue what you are talking about. I said that you don't know Unicat and you do not know too much about MAN trucks.

And I believe I am right in that point.

A Unicat vehicle is built to travel the world with the capability to go offroad. But you can't compare those vehicles with a truck which is prepared for truck trail or any kind of rally.

[bueffel1973]

But if you have new or better ideas for Unicat, I strongly believe that they like to hear about that. Because in the end the chassis is chosen by the customer, Unicat prefers MAN chassis because they have their reasons for that.

[redmight93]

your shitting were u eat

[LiveWorkDream]

OK, it's an ad. But you gotta admit for a pretty awesome product!

[tucker1040]

Nice.

I don't know about the twisting in the chassis though... I think that would brake my wine bottles.

4x4 trucks are good untill you get bogged (stuck) and believe me they are a *#!! to recover.

But I still want one

:)

[gumpdy]

you don't drink wine if you own one of these. You drink dirty and hot beer from a rusty bean can

[tucker1040]

Na...I would have an Engel on board and my beer will be cold.

But I think you are right about drinking it out of a rusty bean can though.

LOL

[MustaphaIsBored]

For those of you interested, this concept generally is referred to as "terra-crossing" & world-wide, numerous individuals utilize variety of platforms, to live their dreams.

For an extreme example, try the MaxiMog! (Based on a Mercedes Unimog platform.)

Thank you for posting this video.

[kingoftheusa]

I prefer a Quigley van. My dream. This is pretty cool too but I still prefer a Quigley. These are in a different league though.

[alan48ridgley]

big bucks!

[wcexperience]

Who did say motorhomes are boring?!

[DiggermanNo1]

If Unicat were really serious about off-road adventures they would buy proper off-road vehicles and do the job properly.

[bueffel1973]

Hmm, from where do you know this, did you see one of their trucks offroad in real!? Did you see their workshop / production?

Or do you just tell that after seeing this vid?

[DiggermanNo1]

Dependability and reliability the video says --- well just look at the amount of chassis twist on these MAN trucks and anyone can see they are a poor off-road vehicle.

[rbgerrish]

Like?

[DiggermanNo1]

TATRA

[rbgerrish]

Tatra's are nice, but obviously not the only good offroad platform. The MAN's are very capable. Besides, most expedition campers arent going to tackle extreme terrain. Poor is hardly how I'd describe a MAN.

[DiggermanNo1]

That's what they would like you to think, but the truth is on this video, this amount of axle twist on an off-road truck is quite shocking.

[DiggermanNo1]

Well I would have to say the blue Mowab in the video is quite a good off-road truck, it might be small but it is better all rounder than the MAN's

[bueffel1973]

Tatra is for sure a good vehicle, but MAN reaches to the same place where a Tatra goes, and I beleive even further!

[gretabelle]

The MANs arent as flexible as a unimog but they still appear to have a decent amount of chassis flex. So, while not mogs, they will still leave a pimpmobile such as an H2 in the dust.

[DiggermanNo1]

Proper off-road trucks do not have flexible chassis, if they do they will break.

[wescobts]

What ? Are you high ? These are the nicest HD trucks going. MAN trucks are are at a level in america could only hope for. By your comment it just shows that you REALLY don't know what your talking about, don't give up though, one day you might get it right.

[DiggermanNo1]

As I work with off-road trucks I know quite a bit about their design, performance and reliability.

So I don't need any lectures from the likes of you.

[wescobts]

What ? You think you are the only one who works with of road vehicles, troll !

[DiggermanNo1]

From your comments it would seem so, muppet!

[wescobts]

Well ? explain, do you drive them or just watch them go by ? With a name like that it would seem that you just load them.

[DiggermanNo1]

I don't need to explain anything more than I know off-road racing & truck trialling trucks inside-out.

PS. and yes i can drive an excavator as well.

[wescobts]

Weak, so I'll go. I was in the United States Army for 8 years in the Combat Engineers, one one my duties was recovery. I have seen what works and what won't, I have pulled truck out and I have pulled trucks apart. I currently work for one of the worlds largest construction company, we own more Caterpillar equipment, International trucks than ANYONE, even Waste Management. Let me tell you I have not seen a Unicat truck up close but they look damn good from here. O.K ... your turn

[bueffel1973]

Well, that is why the British MOD gets 7500 MAN vehicles!?

I believe you do not know to much about MAN off road vehicles!?

[Furrycrocodile]

The music is from one of my Andrew Blake porno movies. - '"marvel at unspoilt nature"...well it WAS unspoilt until some knob in a massive exhaust spewing, plant crushing,track leaving, penis substitute truck came along. get out and walk, or ride a mountain bike. Then you can brag about circumnavigating the world.

[joyridel3]

You really need to see these vehicles in person in ordinary city traffic. They are so solid and massive they make the nicest vans and rvs look like pathetic tin boxes. Pictures and videos give an idea, but are inadequate. Just like you need to see whales in person to appreciate them, you need to see a Unicat in real life driving down a city street.

[1ToNJaB]

Wow! That is a bad ass BEAST! Those are great for the deserts in Iraq, because in the under carriage there is an "Ore-Drill" so you can find and tap into an oil resource to refuel and travel another 300 KM to find another Oil resource. For your safety, you can radio in a rescue helicopter if you can not find another Oil source.

[edwin00420]

i see these all the time in anchorage (alaska). almost all of the drivers are circumnavigating the world. you truly have to stand next to one to truly get just how huge these things are, and capable.

[bfrance2002]

nice but I don't know about paying a million. I would probably get an old deuce and a half with a box on back. They go for about $2000 in the US. And they have a multifuel engine. Can run on anything.Of course it would need good tires, because the standard mill tires suck. Build the inside, then you would have about 10k in it.

[starlionblue]

They may cost almost a million but they can kick a Hummer's ass any day! I'd rather have a Mog than a Hummer and the bumper sticker I'd put on it: "Got a Hummer? What a bummer!"

[garamanth]

I love these - Unicats, they're called.

I saw a nice 6x6 unimog camper on their website once. UXL-15HD I think they called it. Another website said that particular model sold for like a million US dollars... Ouch!

[UltraGorillaz]

OH SHIT NO!

if gypsys get ahold of these, they can get onto any field they want. :O

[vanisljoe]

LMAO- what's a gypsy? I'm Canadian. We have Hippies. Are they like those?

[UltraGorillaz]

i spelt it wrong first time.

a Gypsie is someone that lives in a caravan :S and they think the law doesn't apply to them.

i remember seeing a gypsie kid playing with his dog and guess what he was using as a toy.....

a dead squirrel!!! :O

[vanisljoe]

Crap. I think I seen some one time on that movie Snatch with Brad Pitt lol. NASTY

[marcehmackay81]

yeah well they were tinkers thats an irish gypo
