I'll take a tented camp every day.

Every activity has its own character.

A tented camp by the river in Africa, with hippos, hyenas and vultures abound.

Nothing beats it for safari.

Right now I am sitting in an old, warm chalet in the Swiss Apls, at 2000 meters.

Outside everything is covered in snow, and the temperature is minus 17 C!

I would not want to be in a tent here!

How many African trips to equal the cost of that?

I'd definitely like that for a lap around Australia. Boat on a 4x4 trailer and your set. Wink

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Would be a hell of a camp for a weekend at the wadi?

I was camping out in the Missouri Breaks a few years ago and I ran in to a couple with a similar rig.It was somewhat smaller on a F-550 frame, but the construction was the same, fiberglass etc with huge tires and lots of "neat" stuff built in. It cost them just a bit under $300,000. They were driving from Alaska to Texas, and then back again, a several year trip. They said it was great on crappy roads and deep snow but a bit top heavy in high cross winds.

I asked if they were planning to go into Mexico and they said no way in hell! The manufacturer of the rig had cautioned them about even thinking about using it in South America saying it was a "neon sign" saying I've got a crap ton of money - rod me, kidnap me and hold me for ransom or just murder me and sell the rig to some drug lord.

I met a Swiss couple in Tillamook Oregon who had a wicked 4x4 they were driving from Mexico to Alaska. A smaller version of the truck here. Looked like they were ready for the apocalypse... I kind of liked it...

Must have Bernardaud. Tent is generally also a necessity. Big Grin

That’s a rich man’s show off rig. I would buy a chassis cab Ram 5500 with Cummins and have a custom Sherptek bed built on it. Then a flatbed camper.

Convert the dually 5500 to super singles and off you go for far less money and criminal attracting bling.

If you interested in the topic go to Expedition Portal

I see lots of spotless, tricked-out overlander trucks driving around. You know, picking up some groceries or dropping the kids off at school. Never know when you might need that shovel...

I ve used Unimogs in Southern Africa for trips and 8 years ago built an upgraded Landcruiser (37” mud tires ) double cab Abba camper that we used in Namibia, Zim, Botswana, and South Africa. Had great fun as a family , mostly in Kalahari desert and Okavango delta. Also Kruger. Sold the camper and went back to electric Bundutop tent on the LC. The problem with the big vehicles are in the desert sand tracks they are too wide, you carry so much sand in you are continually cleaning, and in dense mopani and acacia the vehicles are too tall. Simple roof top tent on LC is ideal. Just get into tent before dark before the Africa visitors come by and enjoy it when the whole test shakes from when the lions roar outside!
