Unique Rig seen in Florida

Spent a total of 10 days up and down the gulf side of Florida and saw ~ 8 Truck campers. Spoke to a very nice couple from Germany. If I understood them correctly, they started their journey in 2007. Rode over on a cargo ship with their rig and toured from Alaska to the tip of South America and are now touring the East Coast. Their rig is mounted on a Toyota Lancruiser, very cool.

    it appears they do but for a tiny company they produce a lot of models. See Island Campers based in Tasmania s

    Very similar Custom TC's built on the same Landcruiser 70 Pickup cost a 10th of that in Australia.

    A production built item.

    Hmmm. Maybe that explains the $140,000???

    If I read it correctly the "woelke offroadmobile" sells for something like 100,000 euros or US $140,000. I'm reminded of folks having sticker shock on this forum when they look over a new TC. But this really is shocking.
