Classifieds have been getting a little too sensible recently, so I figured it was time for another rolling mansion. Over the past few months, we’ve shared several go-anywhere luxury apartments, including a $329,000 2019 Acela Monterra Expedition Build, a $529,000 GXV Patagonia, and a $675,000 6×6 SLRV Expedition Vehicle.
While I wouldn’t recommend going out and spending half-a-million dollars on a vehicle, I will concede that larger rigs are a great option in some scenarios. A great example is Boris Malesset’s Man Kat 1 “Darth Vader”, which at first glance seems complete overkill for overlanding until you realize it’s also a full-time, four-season home for a family of four. Suddenly, your perspective shifts, and rather than seeing a massive vehicle, you see a compact family home. Furthermore, what looks like an environment killer is a largely self-sufficient abode, which is more eco-friendly than the average household.
Hence, while I think these vehicles are often overkill, it’s important to recognize there are many misconceptions, and they can be a valid and cost-effective option. Today’s offering is built on a dependable and capable Mercedes 1824 AF chassis and features a well-equipped habitation box and premium modifications.
