Interesting expedition camper

The video of how they dealt with a low overhanging canyon wall is interesting.

Wow, that would be just the think for "camping" in the local Walmart parking lot.

I have always liked the idea of a coach with a back that holds a miniature 4WD like a Suzuki 360 or 540. Set up base camp & then go exploring.

That is one bad-@$$ RV! Looks like that beast would chew up motorcoaches and spit them back out.

I wonder if he's run into ground clearance issues in "drag mode"? Not a lot of clearance under the tail end with those little dolly wheels. Maybe he just drags it along no matter what. It's certainly not lacking the power to do so!

I've seen some 4x4 Man Kat's being driven by the US Army around Ft. Drum. Maybe some of them will show up on the surplus market.

One can only hope! Maybe by the time they do I'll have enough change in the drawer.
