Are you into the ultimate outdoor life and really want to go off the grid for a while? Well, then this Unimog is the way to go. Commonly known around the Creative Rides Showroom as the Doomsday Truck. Based on the Mercedes Benz U 5000 4×4 platform, this Unimog hosts a double cab upfront with a camper box built by Alucab in South Africa. New Build cost well over R5 Million.
Under the hood, there’s a 4.8-liter turbo diesel engine matched to an all-wheel-drive system. This beast will happily cruise at around 100 kph on the open road, but where it does its best work is off-road. Beneath the cab, there are large fuel tanks to extend your range while you are off the grid. Now, let’s talk about the living quarters and what the truck has to offer.
Starting on top, above the cab you will find a satellite dish paired with a DSTV decoder in the living quarters, along with a flat-screen TV that drops down over the double bed. There are also two boxes for tech equipment. To stay off the grid, the truck is equipped with four solar panels and a tech box that houses the battery to run the living space.
Entering the camper box, you will first find a shower and toilet that will make the lady in your life happier to adventure with you. In front of you is a double basin, a convection stove, and a roll-out fridge. To your right is the seating area, which electrically converts to the bed. In this space, you will find an air conditioner, the aforementioned TV, and a CCTV monitor linked to six cameras around the top of the living space so you can see what is around you while lying in bed.
There are two onboard water tanks that you fill from the outside, catering to the shower and basins. Providing shade is a Fiamma awning that is electrically controlled from inside the cabin. With shade, you will want to live outside, and there is an option to cook electrically too.
If this sounds like it’s up your alley for your next adventure, don’t miss out when the hammer is high to buy this Mercedes Benz Unimog.
