  • This is a Mercedes 4x4 camping vehicle (G class) converted by Off Road Centre from near Stuttgart, Germany and filmed at Abenteuer & Allrad 4x4 trade fair in Bad Kissingen.
    I think this is a bit like a jeep which is why I call it as such. I am aware that the word jeep refers to a vehicle manufactured by the company of the same name, here I am using it as a generic term for the Mercedes G class.
    I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
    In my RUclips channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow and others.
    I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
    I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
    I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

    Everyone is correct in their opinions in this subject considering their own needs. The diversity of rigs and equipment at Bad Kissingen show is amazing, including the camping grounds which justify a 2 hour walk to look at everything between a Bedford Rascal and an 8×8 KAT 1.

    you are absolutely right about the propane/ng heaters vs diesel as the former emit water vapor as a by product of their combustion.

      PurpleCrackRock not sure where the guy in the video is from, but here in the Czech republic, the word “Jeep” is sometimes being used as a synonym to a broad term “offroad vehicle”. So maybe thats why...?

    Why the move away from 3 way fridges running it on gas while touring since they don't use much gas and it reduces the strain on your battery bank?

    Jeep is a brand. This is a Mercedes G Wagen, or Gelandewagen. Just like a Land Rover is not a Jeep and a Jeep is not a Land Rover. You wouldn't call a Ford Transit a Ford Vauxhall.

      I suppose you would not call a vacuum cleaner a hoover or a cola that was not manufactured by Coca Cola a cola either. Jeep is clearly a generic term and is used as such to refer to this type of vehicle.

      Manuel Torres Jeep started off as a catch all term for an off road vehicle, certainly in the UK any off road vehicle will be referred to as a jeep or 4x4. The term jeep predates the willys jeep which is the originator of the Jeep Brand.
