Pan-American Travelers Give a Tour of a Custom Built Unimog Camper

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This week, as we traveled through Baja, Mexico, we made special new friends. Dan & Geraldine Wood are from Scotland, UK. They are in the process of traveling across North and South America. As we got to know them and their custom-built overland home atop a Mercedes Benz Unimog, I’d hoped they would agree to allow me to make a video walkthrough of this incredible home on wheels or, as she is better known as Dolly the Unimog. So here it is, a drool-worthy expedition truck that has it all.
Follow along on Dan and Geraldine’s adventures through their social media:

    I really enjoyed seeing your lovely Dolly, and hearing about the fantastic adventure you're having with her. A tad smaller, but my wife and I have covered the same ground with a highly customized Westfalia Syncro. Traveling in such a capable 4WD camping vehicle opens possibilities that are unimaginable for a massive motorhome. What's the point of traveling if docking a highway cruise ship at an RV park is the same cultural experience over an over again? Happy trails.

    Жыл бұрын

    Good question. We have propane for cooking so we’re not completely reliant on one fuel source. I’d been told that diesel heaters need to run continuously otherwise they start to clog up with soot. I had this happen on our previous Unimog. Because the box is highly insulated it should soon get up to temp then shut off the heater. Oh - the gas heater also provides out hot water too 👍
