2003 Mitsubushi FG chassis with overland camper
Price is reduced to $65,000
The rig is near Phoenix, Arizona, USA
It has no known defects.
It's with pride that we offer this famous overland camper for sale.
Kim and Don Greene built the interior using their international experience as a guide. The shell was commercially built and mounted on the chassis by Unicell to meet all US highway D.O.T. regulations. Most custom campers are not approved for highway travel. The walls are insulated with two inches of polyurethane and foam block, plus the fiberglass, plus 3/8" plywood.
The Greenes have taken this camper from the arctic to the antarctic, through parts of Africa and other countries. The camper and truck are so well built that nothing has broken. Everything still functions well.
The Fuso FG is a commercial 4x4 truck, not a consumer truck like Ford, Chevy or Dodge. The components are designed for long term use. The camper is set high off the ground. The cab over engine design and high camper give the unit great approach and departure angles.
We are moving to another phase of our lives and are not planning on international travel as we originally thought.
Up front, let me say that this rig is designed for best performance on dirt and gravel roads. We get 10mpg on highway and 12mpg off highway. The 12mpg can be up hills, on corregated roads, pothole roads, forest, desert and mountain roads- this is where the rig functions at it's best.
