What’s the market for this? It seems like the people who can afford a half million dollar off-road camping rig either wouldn’t be really in position to use it other than as a conversation piece, or they would have endless other options for more convenient vacation spots and the people who would use it wouldn’t be able to afford it. I’m also curious what the plan would be when the thing gets stuck,because it would be hard to avoid having one of these things and not trying to take it into really rough terrain where it could get flipped or swamped. I’d think you would just have to abandon it and hike back to civilization ... Or have a second one on standby as a chase vehicle.

Search using the words, "overland travel" and you will see.

As rigs like this go, it is kind of small and mid range or so in price.

I have a Unimog, similar. I do NOT consider it a good survivalist or "bug out" vehicle.

Things like this are just rolling targets in bad times unless a lot are together ad heavily armed.

Better to be in a nondescript old junker that nobody wants.

The market is awful limited. But there are thousands of people with money in their pocket, who want extreme camping experiences, and willing to pay this kind of money. These aren’t regular campers....they want luxury but surrounded by ultimate wilderness. Eventually, someone is going declare Mongolia as the ‘utopia’ for extreme camping like this.
