The ultimate RV

[amauri]

http://web.archive.org/web/20060508223449/www.unicat.net/en/pics/GEX63HD-MANTGA6x6-2.html I wonder if it would make it across the Darién Gap :hmmm:

I like that split level living style and how the drawers and utensils are custom for each other. Best part is the espresso machine on the wall. Forget the 6-wheel drive.

We drove from NC down to Argentina in a VW Van. The main issue with the Darien Gap is security. From what I've read, any real 4x4 would make it (the Unicat would make it in style!). We met a couple of folks with these monster RV's in S. America and although I certainly drool over them, I think they are better suited for the middle east and Africa. Much deliberation over our next RV left the Sprinter and the Mercedes 1820 truck. We met a Swiss couple with a Sprinter 4x4 (iglhaut conversion) and I poured over the 4x4 components and decided that the sprinter is the way to go. Traveling down south security is a main concern, and these big rigs simply don't fit into a lot of parking lots making them more of a hassle IMO.

We put the van on a boat to circumvent the Darien gap.
