It's something a 12yr old would dream up as the perfect RV.
In the real world not so much. I'm following a blog of a couple using one for the pan-american highway trip.
- They found a deal on tires: $800 each and they are running thru tires every 15-20k miles.
- Fuel economy is measured in gallons per mile.
- Top speed on level paved road = 50mph.
- Another blog with a family in an old VW doing the same trip show up in all the same places with no 4x4
They are good as an expedition vehicle. The Unimogs real strength is a railway/highway specialist vehicle, they have 35,000lb towing.
There was an OKA two doors down from me, parked on the owners property for 2 years. Sydney is NOT the place you see OKA's. Problem was the gutless Perkins diesel with the earlier OKA's . Now they have a Cummins.(I doubt they still are in business) OKA's like AMESZ , All Terrain Warriors and EarthCruiser(ATW and Earthcruiser are building vehicles for US Customers are built primarily as Tourist Expedition buses or for the Mining Industry. You see these vehicles mainly in Western Australia or the "Top End" Northern territory or Northern Queensland.
OKA as a Truck Camper
As a Tour Bus
Two OKA's and a Unimog
