You see campers similar to this all the time in Mexico. They’re almost always from Europe.
They’re “expedition vehicles”. Usually designed and used for an around the world trip, often based on old fire or military trucks. This one is plated from the canton of Solothurn (close to Basel) in Switzerland.
Yeah, saw a few of these type of vehicles (all with German plates) on a recent RV trip around the southwest.
I know a guy that owns a bigger 6×6 version of this rig
. Paid $1.2mil in Switzerland for it, built in 2018. Cost another $30k to transport to us. Because of the legality of it’s registration it didn’t make sense to transfer it for many reasons but you can get a permit and keep the registration to Europe and legally drive here. it has to leave the US and come back every two years I think because it’s just a temporary permit
These are all over Europe. Camper unimogs. I wish they were more common/affordable in the US!!
I saw one with a Zebra stripe wrap on the back when I camped overnight at a Midwestern Walmart in like 2018. Had U.S. plates though.
Had something like that next to us for one night in Sturges last month and they from Belgium. They are traveling the world. Look up Moving Mountains. He said the chassis is from Holland and he had the box custom built.
