No, Virginia, This Isn't a Garbage Truck Camper

A lot of truck camper enthusiasts really enjoy the lifestyle because of the places you can go with a TC that you can't get to with an "ordinary" RV. The trouble is, sometimes a camper is just a bit too crowded. Here's an alternative--that's sometimes accused of being an "RV garbage truck."

If you've never seen one, then welcome to high-brow off-road RVing with the Unicat Terracross. A luxury 6x6 rig, it looks pretty utilitarian from the outside, but whoa! Check out the insides of this monster.

It's actually a bit deceiving, as from the "outside" exposures, it doesn't look like there's any kind of natural light reaching the inside of the rig. But hey, if you can afford the rig, then you've afforded the lift up style roof that exposes the windows in the sides of the rig.

There's plenty of room, and an office, if you have the time and desire to work on your novel while out in the wilderness. Come to think of it, perhaps some pretty fine inspiration can come from the beauty of nature.

And be sure to check out the wall hung espresso machine in the galley. Wonder if that's an option, or if every customer gets one to ensure a fully leaded take off for the wild yonder each morning.

Well, most of us humble truck camper owners will have to pass on this one. Too many euros for our budget, but hey, wouldn't it be nice to borrow one for a little spin in the country?

It's a German engineering thing, ja?
