If Instagram tells me something, it means that the person who converted the van into a camper is cooler and happier than me. The proof is in the perfect composition of the photo, from the unwavering sunny scenery to the undoubtedly real smile. But in the case of Apocalypse, I suspect that the lucky atmosphere of #vanlife goes dormant when even the brightest Instagram filters can’t hide the hellish landscape in the background. Meanwhile, I get out of hell from Dodge and seek safety with this military-grade camper found on the BrinaTrailer auction site. Car and driverIs part of Hearst Autos.

Sure, it’s as fascinating as an Arctic ice cream truck, but it’s the aesthetics of the industry that caught my attention. Is it a truck? Is it a camper? If you look closely, it’s just a little bit of both. Below the camper van is a medium-sized flatbed truck. It has the same platform as the truck BAE Systems supplied to the U.S. military, but this example says it is one of about 50 sold to civilians as part of the Titan Trucks brand, which now appears to be non-functional. It has been.

according to Old pamphletThis 4×4 “Extreme Duty” chassis features a 153.0 inch wheelbase, 96.0 inch width and a gross vehicle weight (GVWR) of up to 24,700 pounds. Powering machines over 10 tons is a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel in-line 6-cylinder, which is said to produce 325 horsepower and 860 pound-foot torque in stock. The engine is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and supplies all four wheels. The rear axle also has a locking differential that is useful in dangerous terrain. The truck rolls on a set of 10 lug wheels wrapped in combat-rated 395 / 85R20 Goodyear MV / T tires. What’s enough for Uncle Sam is enough for me.

Obviously, this Frankenstein RV has some interesting features. The roof is reinforced for walking, but most of the property above is occupied by a 1200 watt solar panel system. On the roof of the cockpit is an aluminum storage box accessible by ladders on both sides. There is an additional storage compartment at the bottom of the camper van, two power retractable awnings, LED auxiliary lighting, and even an external shower. The long steel bumper that sticks out from the back of the truck also has a clever trick. It is connected to a winch that can turn and raise it for a larger departure angle.

Despite the military specifications of the RV, the interior of its aluminum camper looks much more comfortable than the military barracks. It may even be what you would see in your grandparents Winnebago, except that it is much more stylish. There is a queen size bed and a bathroom room with a serviceable kitchen space and shower. Folding bench seats with seat belts face each other in the middle of the camper van, and when you eat or play cards, a wooden table slides out from under the nearby bed frame. If something in your camper gets too hot or cold, there is an air conditioner unit and a diesel heater. If things get too boring, there are TVs and JL audio systems to blow up some songs. I can think of a song that is particularly suitable for REM.

The truck cab is separated from the camper if we need some space with my passengers to survive the apocalypse. In advance, there is a set of aftermarket racing seats that look comfortable and supportive. The driving position is ideal for big rig cosplay as the seat height is very high and the steering wheel is comically large. The huge windshield and flat nose configuration should provide excellent forward visibility. The truck’s omitted front overhang should provide a great approach angle, and in the worst-case scenario of a zombie apocalypse, a steel front bumper would be an excellent battering ram.
