Spotted this in Edmonton Alberta Canada

[pator1971]

Was out driving around Friday night when the Wife and I spotted this out by the Tims on Stony Plain rd in West Edmonton.

I don't know who owns it but I have rig envy....

This thing is really cool and if I won the lottery I would have one myself.

Bocklet is a German company that makes fantastic rigs.

I believe this is from their "Dakar" range of trucks.

If anyone sees this truck on the road, please invite them to join ExPo. It looks great.

Nice spot, nice rig!

What?!?! You didn't track them down or wait for them? I'd have stayed there all day if I had to, here in Canada I doubt you'll ever get another chance to look inside one again.

World travelers parked at the Tim's?
I guess their slogan is right,
"you've always got time for Tim Hortons"

That truck has shown up several times on the "Spotted, Expedition Vechicles' thread.

I talked to them very briefly at the Grand Canyon back in the middle of March. Also gave them the Portal address and invited them to share their stories here, but AFIK they haven't.

Well we know they are headed north as they have been in Waterton, Calgary and now Edmonton.

Nice truck!

Just a thought I would like to share....:
Friends of mine are traveling with a Unimog in the USA....Wherever they stop, people ALWAYS want to get a tour of the truck... It's their home. They don't want to have strangers going in and out all the time... Would you let strangers tour your house? Just saying. Anyhow I totally understand why people want to know more about them. But please keep the above in mind next time you talk to one of those owners.

Cheers,
Andreas

Thanks for bringing this up.Years ago when I saw Unimogs and approached the owners, I sometimes felt like they didn't want to talk to me.Fast forward a few years and Katherine and I purchased our first Unimog.Suddenly, every time we stopped anywhere, 10 people wanted to talk to us about our ride. Now I understood...

that wouldnt happen to be the tims on the south side of town would it? near 23rd ave?!

Nope the one on Stoney plain rd near the Walmart.

I think owning any kind of rare vehicle your bound to get someone asking you a question. And thats what a owner has to deal with. Just be nice when walking up to the owner. Ask them if its okay to ask a few questions if not walk away and just say have a nice day

I would never ask to see inside someone's unit. I often stop and talk to people and if they offer to show it to me then I will accept or decline but it is not something that I would ever ask for.

If they were in Arizona and now turn up in Edmonton they're almost certainly heading to Alaska.
