When I bought this mog it had only 4350 mi (7000 km) on the clock. The engine was barely broken in!
The plan was to build a travel vehicle that would fit in a sea container and be shipped safely anywhere in the world. The construction was quite a challenge and the result is impressive. The camper unit can be mounted and dismounted by one person using an electric winch without many extra tools and so the Unimog + the camper fit together in a 40 ft. high cube container, as an alternative to RoRo shipping.
An additional advantage is that when you are not traveling for a while, the original cargo bed can easily be remounted on the Unimog and it thus serves as a truck. The camper unit becomes a tiny house...
Now my priorities lie elsewhere and I have decided to put it up for sale.
Unimog U1350LM
The U1350 LM was a special order for the Belgian army and is actually a U1550L whose engine power has been reduced to 136 hp, something that can easily be increased again to 215 hp or more.
Some important improvements over a U1300L are the modern cab with improved sound insulation, higher payload, stronger axles, the heavier UG65 transmission and the turbocharged engine with intercooler.
