Which Unimog??

Not that it is a common solution (only five of these cabs were ever made), but my expedition Mog has a standing-height passthrough that makes it easy to seat four in the cab and several more on the cabin's rear lounge.

Camper Mog also has a very interesting way of doing the passthrough while allowing articulation. Both the cab back and cabin front have about six inch extensions around the top and side openings, the smaller one fitting inside the larger one. This has been a perfectly trouble-free system, and possibly an improvement over trying to keep a rubber bellows in place.

This Mog's for sale, and there are lots more pictures of this arrangement in an album linked to the post I put in the Expedition Vehicles for Sale section.

another vehicle that can seat 6

Monroe Truck recently announced plans to produce this
variant of the GMC Topkick crew cab. The width of the
vehicle allows three-across seating for adults of typical size.

The original version of this truck appeared in the "Transformers"
movie. Response was positive, so Monroe Truck decided
to go into limited production.

The vehicle specs include the Duramax diesel, Allison 6 speed
auto trans, air suspension, single rear wheels with 40 inch
tall tires, plus off-road front bumper and winch. The bed
is 8 feet long. Cargo capacity is 5500 lbs. Turning circle is
47 feet, less than many longbed pickups.

Edit: Thanks to Charlie Aarons for pointing out that the same
truck with dual rear wheels gains 2000 lbs cargo capacity, so
maybe this version of single rear wheels isn't a good idea.
You could run 20 inch or 22.5 inch Michelin tactical tires in place
of the tires offered and gain that 2000 lbs capacity.

The standard C4500 diesel crew cab 4x4 (or Ford F450 or Dodge 3500)
without pickup bed costs a bit less than $50,000. That's $30K cheaper
than the Monroe truck, enough to build the camper you want. If you
prefer a longer wheelbase for a bigger camper, that's available too.
