Unimog Expedition

[ADT]

I have wanted to buy a Unimog for a while and use it to travel the country :safari-rig: I have had several ideas for what I want but I need some help. First off where is a reputable dealer near Texas to purchase a Unimog? I found one that looks good: http://www.tawd.com/used/index.html Then I started to think about how I would use the rear end of the Unimog cabin wise. Also I only want a single cab. Well I have been scanning and looking through every forum and picture looking for ideas and those huge cabins at the back are way more then I would need. Also it would be too tall for my liking. I just don't need a shower, microwave, ect. I finally stumbled upon something good and useful. The pictures below shows a hardtop camper for the back of the truck. I like the hardtop because if I want to go to Snowy conditions I won't have to worry about a soft shell pop up getting ripped or weighed down, (plus more security against bears :ylsmoke: ) My second thought is where is a reputable builder of such cabins, because I'm not sure I would want to the local fabricator making such a thing. Any help is greatly appreciated, take care :elkgrin:

Or maybe not a mog...

EDIT: Here's another dealer. There are quite a few who can get Mogs shipped in from overseas:

EDIT AGAIN: Here's one in Germany who can source a Mog for you, fix it up and then ship it to you:

Exactly what I was looking for! :drool: $600 for the camper sounds great to me instead of spending alot of money on a custom cab. Also means I can get a bigger mog, probably a 1300. Thank you thank you thank you! Take care!

The more I consider it - a custom Alaskan, old school style so it can be repaired anywhere with basic carpentry skills, and an older U1300L (with as little computerised controls as possible), which has lots of weight capacity so not overstressed - is almost a match made in heaven...
