In the rig's photo it appears that it began life as a Tiger model.
It seems that painting it black would turn it into an oven in desert heat. I wonder how that would work out? Probably idling the main engine all day long so as to use cab air to cool the living area? I read once that expedition vehicle designers tend to prefer white or silver as the exterior colors of choice for the best all around camp-anywhere-anytime compromise.
