$2.5million toy hauler motorhome for sale
Live off-the-grid for weeks on end in this go-anywhere MAN 6x6 expedition vehicleWhile not quite as innovative as the $2million 'slide-up' 8x8 MAN motorhome custom built by Queensland's SLRV, the latest MAN 6x6 monster-truck from European expedition vehicle specialist Unicat is just as off-grid capable, not to mention pricey.
Equipped for hardcore off-roading and remote travel in extreme conditions, the German-built Unicat MD56c motorhome boasts dual-range 4WD, three diff locks and a grunty 397kW turbo-diesel engine mated to a 12-speed gearbox.
It's designed to handle at least two week's comfortable off-grid living, with a 1200Ah lithium battery system, 1850W roof-top solar and two inverters, along with two pumps for the 600 litre freeze-proof water storage system.
Owners also won't need to worry too much about finding a petrol station, with a range of approximately 3300km thanks to on-board 1000 litre fuel tanks.
Like any good cross-country truck motorhome, the Unicat also comes with a remote tyre inflation system, and a full complement of wide- and high-beam headlamps along with work lights to provide all-round visibility, day and night.
Insulation is top notch, with fibreglass sandwich body panels up to 60mm thick, along with burglar-proof doors and windows and a 130cm x 100cm panoramic roof hatch for star gazing at night.
The unique Unicat can sleep up to five people in its cosy but luxuriously appointed interior living area which incorporates a six person dinette with power adjustable tabletop, heated queen bed, bathroom with separate shower, heated towel rails and a flushing marine toilet joined to a 110 litre 'black' tank.
The kitchen comes complete with a Miele induction cooker and oven, dishwasher, 195 litre fridze/freezer, and drawers with 'shock-proof' compartments to keep the crockery from breaking, while the teak-covered floor and benchtops and Alcantara upholstery add to the luxury feel.
Driver and passenger perch up front on air-suspended leather seats, with a 360 degree view camera to help keep an eye on things. There's also a full climate control system with diesel heater and split-system air-conditioner that can also run off a mobile generator.
The Unicat's party trick is a rear loading platform big enough for a side-by-side ATV or a couple of dirt bikes, that raises up and down via remote control, and also has room for a spare wheel holder and bicycle carrier.
The 8.16m long and 3.66m tall Unicat boasts a kerb weight of just under 20 tonnes and a payload of just over three tonnes.
It's priced and ready to go at 1,389,000 Euro, which converts to around $2.4million Aussie dollars before on-road costs.
