Hello all,

I've been lurking for a couple years actually but this is my first post... I see Unimogs mentioned which I think might be a good idea but dang parts are expensive for them, top speed/mileage is bad and cab options are limiting. Why not one of the Volvo C30X/TGB trucks? My uncle has a TGB 1313 (C304?) that was previously a Swedish radio truck which he converted to a camper and is currently treking across Africa in... Talk about plenty of room, plus it has somewhat better top speed/mileage as a mog. Not to mention, they use the Volvo B30 engine and Landrover brake parts so they are available and at a fraction of mog parts. I'm in the process of buying a C303/TGB 11 that I'm setting up to drive to Costa Rica this time next year.

Do a google image search for TGB 1313 or 1314, I think that could be easily modified to perfectly suit your needs.
