Up for sale is our expedition rig, which includes a 1996 LMTV M1078 and a 2020 Northern Lite 8-11EXSE Wet Bath as the habitat on a 14’ steel flat bed.

The truck was bought through the 1033 program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1033_program. This is an important distinction because most LMTVs sold to the public (via GovPlanet) have something wrong with them. This truck was and remains in excellent working order.

$95,000
We prefer to sell the combo but would consider selling the camper separately.

Great rig!
Any chance we could get pictures of cab interior?
What's your typical MPG? What's the fuel tank size?

Thanks :) . Here's a link to my wife's blog of the interior. It's got some cool photos of the interior. https://wingingitwithlinda.com/improving-looks-and-deadening-noise-in-the-lmtv-cab-interior/
As you can see there are alot of options for more upgrades within the cab. That said, my plan was to keep it as simple as possible to minimize things going wrong when we're in the boonies.
I get about 8 mpg and the fuel tank size is about 58 gallons

Hello, how did you incorporate side storage with the camper tiedowns? Custom boxes to work around them? Did you consider directly bolting the camper to the flatbed? TIA.
