Unimog Camper ALERT

[burquedoka]

I believe that over a certain GVW the import laws are quite different.

GVW has nothing to do with US import laws.

they all got in the same way. How? Harry Potter's magic wand?

Yes, let's go with that........


Honestly, I think the selling price was very fair, someone got a really nice camper Mog.

Probably got in the same way certain "Political figures" were able to get brand new Diesel Mogs to use as campaign trucks... Some pigs are created more equal then others Laws only apply to those in lower tax brackets....

Really?

I think 4Rescue is referring to the McCain U500 Doka; it was probably sold through Freightliner like most U500s. It had been for sale on ebay a year or two ago and disappeared before the sale ended when the price was somewhere around 100K. Anybody know what ever happened to it, very sweet looking rig?

 

[charlieaarons]

And people who own U500s are breaking what kind of law?
It irritates me to see even a bit of class warfare rhetoric on this forum.
In fact it is quite insulting.

Charlie, I thought we only had "Claas" warfare with our mogs.
Are you heading back to the U.S. anytime soon? I haven't seen a pile of photos yet.
Be safe,

I hope Charlie is still in the US at the moment, I know they are coming out here in Feb, but they may want to wait a bit to see how much of Queensland is left after Cyclone Yasi has passed through.

It just takes some wheel wells to get the camper lower. I assume that's what Earthroamer does.

But it is true that on a pickup a camper set entirely above the wheels is too high.

Should be an ex-military cabrio 416 with a (probably) normaly aspirated OM352 (in line six diesel). Most likely 1980's vintage. Sweet Mog for sure.
