Like a train wreck; you just have to stop and look.

I love it !

Those must be some heavy duty springs in the rear to hold the height he's got back there. The fuel tank location is a little scary.

1982 Mercedes Benz W126 Turbo Diesel fitted with a six pack camper. Very practical. Drives like a car, gets 20+ MPG on either diesel or vegetable oil. 2 beds, table, cabinets, ice box. 200K miles.
I know the ad states it drives like a car, but how does it corner and brake?

I think it's pretty cool but a little weak with the plexiglass and caulk between the car and camper.

It looks functional and has a very nice set of bundts. I'd like to see it fixed up with a new overall paintjob to tie the camper and car together.

I do RV's for a living and That comment about
drives like a car is BS. Those things will make a 1/2
ton truck top heavy, imagine what it will do to the
suspention/frame of a 126.

I have seen some hack jobs before, but this takes
the cake.

If I ever won the lotto I'd buy things like that, just to crush. Give the old W126 at least a little dignity!

Now I know how a moth feels when he's headed into the fire. I'm strangely drawn to it for some reason.
