Benz 1017 Refrigerator Truck into a Expedition Camper

[Augdog1964]

Hey all,

New here, but an Adventure Motorcyclist looking for an Expedition Vehicle to support my habit! LOL

I have located a Mercedes Benz 1017 4x4 with a refrigeration box on the back. It was my initial thought that this could be the basis for a good camper build due to its insulation and double wall construction.

Has anyone else ever used a fridge box as the basis for a camper build?

Any issue with the chassis? Seems its pretty well regarded as a decent off road platform, and the the box is a lot bigger than the U1300 Ambulance body.

Thanks!

I have no experience with your truck choice but it sounds like a nice project. Have any pics?

Very popular vehicle in EU. IF you frequent any of their forums there is plenty of info. Theres a fella on Expo with one, a Brit named Neil, forgot his sign on. Good luck.
