Airstream Monster - like you've never seen before - I promise

I just found this unique Airstream conversion in Germany - the base is a KAT1 4x4 military truck. There's a video to it on Youtube...

very cool. could spend some time with all the other truck videos there, too

That is definitely unique.

Ridiculous.

Too tall for some environments. But with that aluminum Argosy body, certainly not overweight or top-heavy. And it's got plenty of space to add fuel tanks and tool boxes down the sides.

If I'm reading that pencil drawing correctly, they figured on a height of 3500mm - about eleven and a half feet - which I personally think would have been about right as a "never to exceed" max height. But I think they might have ended up higher.

Still, except for probably being just a bit too tall - though probably about the same as a lot of the Unicats - I think it's bloody gorgeous.


Am I nuts, or did they stick the engine in the rear? :Wow1:

Last time the Germans did this was the VW Bug. Maybe its a retro-build.
