Thanks :) It's been a while since this thread last was updated. Hopefully I will find some time soon to fill you all in on whats been happening the last two years:)

Welcome to the madness:-) Feel free to stop by if you need some inspiration, we live in Lyngdal, so maybe not to far away? -Vegard

Nice progress Dimitri! Please send me some information about the Outbound hatch, if it still is up for sale. We might be able to use it on our Unimog:-) -Vegard

I 100% agree about that they are very costly... But the quality is also superb! :cool: Think you both will be happy about it in the long run! We have 2 of the Outbound roof hatches, which we collected in person at their factory in Holland (after a very nice short tour of their factory) and...

This is totally normal :-) I have the same behaviour in my Unimog The throttle pedal is mechanically connected to the valve / brake in the exhaust line. When you activate the exhaust brake, by stepping on the button in the floor, the air-sylinder that pushes on the valve also affect the...

Hi there Ivan, I would say that the length and overhang of the box in your rendering looks nice from an esthetic point of view! Practically wise, I guess the size will be a matter of compromizes between the needs and available space / weight. On our U1700L the outer dimensions of the camper box...

Regarding the rules for "motorredskap" the easy and correct answer here is that it you truck will sadly not longer fullfill the requirements to keep the classification as this, and thus have to be reclassed into a "campingbil" or a "personbil over 3500kg". The rules and requirements have...

At least there is 2 crazy guys in Norway now:-) Very happy to share my experience with you! I will follow your build with great interest! ...regarding the Mog, it was also kinda out of my price range :ROFLMAO::p ...and also not the best for long highway stretches, but it usually get there in...

Hi Thea & Dimitri! Congratulations on the purchase and welcome into this crazy world:-) Where in Norway are you located? Im In the far south. After spending the far best of the last five years on building our Unimog overland truck, I have some insight on how to do and not do things:-) So if you...

Including the roof hatches total height from the ground up is 3,46m (exhaust stack is even higher, to reduse noise and smell.., but upper part of it is removed in half a minute if needed). The camper box itself is 3900x2300x2100 (LxWxH) measured on the outside

You're too kind!? My goal was all the time to built something that could kinda compare to the fancy $$$$ German made trucks, but at a more reasonable price.... 5 years later my budget is long gone (~2x early estimates...) ...but I'm happy to say that the finished result is at least near to...

The tabletop with the world map was actually a gift from a Polish guy (Christopher from "Adventure Van") we met during the lockdown in Poland during our amputated Asia-Trip. Initially we had the table from an old caravan, it was OK, but nothing fancy. So after staying for more than a week at the...

Thanks, even though we're not able to travel very far away at the moment it is still a strange but good feeling to finally have a fully functional camper, and not just a half-finished old truck that takes up space in the driveway ?

Thanks? I to like the mix of wood and steel/aluminum. A friend of mine made a lot of the plywood plares on a CNC mill, so I'm very happy with the finished result. Our travel plan was roughly Eastern-Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, "The Stan countries", then back home via Russia, Ukraine and the...

For those of you who are interested we have our own web page (which is under development...): www.unimogoverland.com There is also a video on youtube, made during our amputated Asia-trip this winter, showing the camper a bit more in depth:

OK,, so it has been quiet here for a couple of years now.... But that doesn't mean that things have been at a stand still with this project:cool: The Unimog is now finnished, and fully functional, only minor details and improvements remain:sneaky: February 2020 we got it re-registered as a...
