Mercedes Benz SK 4x4, 4 door with 6 seats (upgradable to 7), expedition truck with Bliss Mobile 20ft living unit with quad/motorbike garage

The vehicle will be available end of this year or beginning of next year by arrangement since we are still actively traveling with it. The new owner will need to arrange roll on -roll off vehicle shipment to Europe and back next year for doing the Bliss warranty service and training if desired. This can be combined with a Europe trip to Iceland or Scandinavia or even North Africa. I would also recommend doing one of the Bliss organized trips with training. We provide a warranty to-do list that we'll send to Bliss. Upgrades and changes to the truck and Bliss would also be possible at that time, although not necessary.

We have been living in the unit for over one year now with no hotel stays and very little campground visits. We stayed at the most amazing places with all creature comforts and always felt safe and protected. The truck which is apparently constructed for 1 million miles also never let us down and is just at the beginning of its life when you look at the miles driven.

That's a very nice build.

Did this start as a 6x6 and Bliss turned it into a 4x4?

How have you found the power of the OM442A?

It left Mercedes as a 4x4 and the fire truck builder added a 3rd undriven axel for weight of water and foam they wanted to carry. We removed it because it’s useless off-road and we didn’t need the weight by any means.

The engine power is very good and the bi-turbo does very well at altitude. Together with the retarder climbing hills up and down is much fun.
