I watch countless videos about off road capable campers including numerous high end versions yet I think yours may be the best yet. Such ingenuity. Fantastic vehicle and you sir are one exceptionally practical and creative individual.
Yes, yes, amazing vehicle, but can we talk about the wine storage? Genius. edit: Never mind, hadn't got to the glass storage yet with central locking yet. Holy moly.
This has to be the most well thought out off road camper I've ever seen. As they say the devil is in the details, and from the magnets to stop your cutlery rattling around and the central locking for all the doors. You guys really have thought of everything.
Glasses compressed by air, Corian counter tops, "wine cellar", bread machine, ice-maker, water faucet with motion sensor, rain shower... seriously? Love-it! This is your typical self-employed German engineer, with a "mid-size" company of which we thankfully still have thousands of, who are also world market leaders with their products! I do not know of a comepetitor outside of the Herman speaking countries who can compete with this kind of quality!!!
You nailed it Sir, it's the most lovely & functional camper truck I ever watch + a very nice host.... May our Almighty Father bless you with Good health .
The only truck home videos tour i watch completely... Nice video, good explanation details,wish i had it someday.. Thank you sir for inspiring me and others..
This is the best, most comfortable and high quality expedition vehicle. Many thanks to the team that made it. Your company sets super standards and each of the vehicles produced is more than just a good expedition vehicle.
Wow Thomas.. you should be really proud of this, it’s a very special vehicle. Keep raising the bar, you guys at UNICAT lead the industry, and post purchase help has been awesome.. we can’t wait to be reunited with our UNICAT that we needed to abandon in Côte d’Ivoire, never had a big problem with the vehicle (the main problems were driver error and the world collapsing due to COVID!).
This is the second time I am watching this video for the second time in two days as I am mesmerized by the capabilities of this truck, such a wonderful creation.
Amazing overlander off-road vehicle! Furthermore, the presentation, the explanations, and the calmly as well as the very understandable English turn the video accessible for non english speakers. One more like and subscription to the channel!
Exactly! It's just rude, if you have to ask the price then you can't really afford something like this. Just sit back and enjoy this marvellous video and move on and hope you win a lottery somewhere.
@@culpd No,it is not that expensive. Mr. Ritter said his trucks start at 300,000 Euros, so this one with a used chassis might be 600,000 - 800,000 Euros. Only the MAN 8x8 or armored ones are above 2,000,000.
Beautiful truck Sir, thank you for sharing your personal vehicle. I hope you, your wife and the dogs share many nice memories in this wonderful truck. Be safe and healthy.
I wouldn't say staggering. Having the shower dump on the head isn't happening and you really need the Toto bidet. There also has to be a way to maximise the refrigerator/freezer to hold more. And who is going to lift that tire off the roof???
great vehicle. Excellent job in the suspension setup and transmission. I have been working in such kind of automotive re-engineering and know quite well the need of really competent people and many hours of desing for a good result. My congratulations for a dream vehicle.
Wow, what a beautiful off-road RV....nice solutions and ideas.... I'm very impressed.... ....I got only a small Volvo TGB11/C303....but the metamorphosis to an real RV is not started yet....
Yes you see mobile homes and they are good but with Unicat it's the very personal attention to detail that covers so many situations leaving the user of the mobile at ease to enjoy themselves. It's a great vehicle you have and thanks for sharing it.
What a machine,it’s really awesome!!!,I love it,especially the 4 wheel steering,and the lifting of the vehicle.You’re so lucky to own such a great vehicle.
You really know your way around, not that i can afford any of those things. But after watching so many videos i really Gotta say, your own truck is like one of the best ive ever seen. Absolutely stunning
Great built that suits your use of it. Personalizing your space is paramount when it comes to motor homes meant to go in remote places. This set up is not for heavy duty expedition and it's fine, the technology is still impressive! Very ingenious.
I wish i had this to drive when i was in the Army. I think i would like to have a winch on it as well. Beautiful vehicle. Love the the ideas you have installed.
What an amazing vehicle, looks like you thought of every thing. Would not know that the chassis is 15yr and engine trany. That rear wheel steer is sweet and all the suspension. Love the outside look of it
Thanks foe sharing your awsome motorhome! Rear sterering make a huge difference, great idea. In that open trailer will your ATV get pretty dirty after long ride, i guess. . Nice bikes, good choice for couple, better then motobike in woods for sure.
Einfach nur perfekt. Wirklich ich würde mir einen Zeh abschneiden um für den Rest meines Lebens in so einen Fahrzeug wohnen zu dürfen. Palast auf 4 Reifen. Ich habe mir so viele von euren Fahrzeugen hier bei RUclips angesehen und die einzige Kritik die ich äußern kann ist das die Musik die eingespielt wird immer viel zu laut ist im Vergleich zur Stimme.
I loved your truck, great ideas and a lot of thought has gone into your layout. Very practical, really liked the truck, well done to the owner and to unicat expedition vehicles.
I like the truck, and I figure you must be a Doctor or a Dentist because the interior looks like a Doctors Office. The independant rear steer suspension is very impressive. They don't give that stuff away! I figure you've probably got about $2 mil USD in that thing.... I'd drive it you you if you ever come to the States! :) Orange is my favorite color and your exterior is exactly the same colors and patterns of what I'm planning to do to the Class A RV I"m building now. Gonna have to change it up a little now. Don't want confuse people......... HA!
Lovely vehicle and great Unicat quality. The suspension is great but very complex and not what I would want for traveling. I worked with this on fire trucks and they are difficult to work on and can be high maintenance. I love the lift roof with upstairs bed. This is something that I would like to do. There is too much tech and electrical devices for my liking. It's all things that can cause issue when you are travelling. I wouldn't have it in my home let alone in a vehicle. How hard is it to open a window by hand? It is tech for the sake of it. I understand that this is probably a R & D vehicle as it is your own and fully appreciate that you want to try many options to offer your customers. It is impressive though and your skills are to be applauded.
N2 (Nitrogen)/Oil Suspension is an old system, the first commercial public was the Citröen DS 19 In 1955. Also in Oil industry (Drilling) they use this system called Koomey, as accumulators to close the well in emergency. For a car or a truck with this type of suspension you don't need , Springs or any shock absorber. Such as the oil is not compressive in a same bowl we have oil and a ballon (n2) calibrate with a specialist the Nitrogen pressure apply on oil makes an energy accumulator. here is a link with is explaining Hydraulic/N2 Suspensions (you can shut the sound drawings are excellents. Kind regards, Capt-Patrick.
Tolle Detaillösungen! Den Magnet Messerhalter habe ich mir gerade begeistert angeschaut und sofort für unsere WoMo Schublade bestellt. Ob es irgendwann für mehr „UNIKAT“ reicht.....wir werden sehen. 😀
Very impressive! But what truly blow me away was the pneumatic "lock down" for the glasses. Genial! Having driven these Volvos (me a FL7 and F16) back in Sweden eons ago, I can only say that they blow anything we can find here on US roads out of the water when it comes to quality and driver's comfort/ergonomics. BTW, I see hydronic radiators. Where they there from previous owner, or did you ever consider hydronic loops in the floor?
Ein fantastisches Fahrzeug, Gratulation! So viele Details die äussert nützlich sind - und mit der Allradlenkung ist das parkieren wohl einfacher als mit dem Pw.
I continue to be impressed by the engineering and design of your vehicles. The attention to detail is impressive. Can you explain how the lifting roof seals out drafts? Would it be effective in a cold-climate? Thank you!
Hi Duncan, we do not publish technical details, hope for your understanding. But it also works in cold climates, all walls are sandwich panels and of course, all areas of seals are less insulated. It just needs a bit more heating capacity to keep it warm. And the seal area around is electrically heated in case you have ice building up there after a rain shower.
@@thomasritter1470 Hi Thomas, I completely understand and respect that position. It's not a problem for me. I was just thinking that there might be a general description such as those used by seamless slide manufacturers (i.e double bulb) that you use to describe how it seals. I live in Canada so keeping the cold out is a major consideration, but I really like your lifting roof. ;-) Thank you again for the very informative video.
:) :) :) What an awesome vehicle,a European “combo” like a Swiss army knife,Swedish made lorry,German designed exterior/interior,and a very very happy and proud German owner/driver. Sehr gut :) :) :)
Hello! it is wonderfull, a dream! I love your good taste and love for details....(laguiole, glass storage, Simplicity and anónimus presence when the roof is lowered, etc) congratulations! G.Arteche Barcelona
Good evening sir, I do Think you are the gentle magician of the year! I follow your channel and as we can see Unicat is one of the best of the world. i wish you the best for the futur, kind regards from Brittany of France.
I have been collecting info for five years for my retirement build, this has been the most interesting yet, and defintely you presented the case to choose Volvo very well...would never have even considered it, but the close ups up the ndependent suspension, all turning wheels, independent suspension and self leveling jacks address all the check boxes for me...great video, now how do I buy the chassis stripped down like you did and have the suspension done here iin Toronto, Ontario Canada...lol
Crazy build!! I have 3 questions: 1) whats the ground clearance in expanded and not expanded state? 2) Whats the total weight (excluding diesel and water)? 3) Do you have an estimation of how much it costed? Thanks for answering the questions.
I like the centralised cabinet door locking. I don't know the details, because Thomas keeps these up his sleeve! But: 1/ If the systems fails (power cut, fuse blow). Then major internal disaster - not just the single cabinet you forgot to manually lock. 2/ Perhaps it is fail safe - power required to release locks. Then you are locked out until problem is resolved. No coffee to help diagnose problem. Its a great system, when it works. But in case of a problem Thomas?
Thankyou... such a great video.. That is a dream camper right there... like a 5 star hotel.. Just don't have a clue how he would go about getting that heavy spare tire down when he needs it.
i can only admire the beauty of this machine. I would have to die few times before I can afford this beast... Anyway, congrats to Thomas for owning this beautiful machine
You've built a beautiful mobile home. I like the functional features (especially the four-wheel steering) but also the colours and design you have chosen. Well done! On a side note, I find it interesting that you use a combination of metric and standard units of measurement. Canada is metric but as our southern neighbours don't use it, we are also measurement bilingual :-)
@@averagepainter :-) It should be, however, I've noticed that Thomas often mentions US Customary (i.e standard, not Imperial) units of measurement in his videos.
Really impressive build with so much attention to details about everything ! The central lock of every drawer and cupboard is the cherry on top of the cake for me. What are the brand and model of the Independent suspension axle and hydropneumatic upgrades please ? Did a bit a search on internet but didn't find.
@@johnphelan6623 I know, sorry John I'm just being silly. Thomas is not a fan of winches at all and thinks they are a waste which I think is why there isn't one on his unit. It is pretty cool though with or without.
@@tonylawless4742 True, I am not a fan of winches, just because they only can pull you out pretty straight and if you have a anchoring point - but in what situations is that the case ? In most situations, there is nothing to hold on in front of you or behind you. With a Greifzug ( Tirfor ) you can do much more, pulling into any direction. Many years back, I had a MAN KATI 4x4 and got stuck on a beach in wet sand when the tide came up. We digged a big hole, put the spare wheel in, digged a tunnel to the vehicle and connected the cable of the Tirfor kind of underground to the front axle. Pulling underground , we got the vehicle out before the tide arrived. Any other approach would have failed, even a winch, pulling at a certain angle would have lifted the spare wheel out of it´s hole.
@@thomasritter1470 thank you Thomas for your comments, I am a big fan of you and your company. I agree with you totally and I thank you for taking the time to reply. Amazing vehicles and engineering from you guys, keep up the good work 😎

When the lottery comes home, you’ll be my first port of call for a UNICAT with suspensions dedicated to Nigerian roads! Well done.
Same Idea here for an African tour.
African roads because i am goin to tour this continent
I’d use it in Ukraine, packing fighters, food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies in and the injured fighters and civilians out.

I continue to be impressed by the engineering and design of your vehicles. The attention to detail is impressive. Can you explain how the lifting roof seals out drafts? Would it be effective in a cold-climate? Thank you!
Hi Duncan, we do not publish technical details, hope for your understanding. But it also works in cold climates, all walls are sandwich panels and of course, all areas of seals are less insulated.
It just needs a bit more heating capacity to keep it warm. And the seal area around is electrically heated in case you have ice building up there after a rain shower.
@@thomasritter1470 Hi Thomas, I completely understand and respect that position. It's not a problem for me. I was just thinking that there might be a general description such as those used by seamless slide manufacturers (i.e double bulb) that you use to describe how it seals. I live in Canada so keeping the cold out is a major consideration, but I really like your lifting roof. ;-) Thank you again for the very informative video.
:) :) :) What an awesome vehicle,a European “combo” like a Swiss army knife,Swedish made lorry,German designed exterior/interior,and a very very happy and proud German owner/driver. Sehr gut :) :) :)
Hello! it is wonderfull, a dream! I love your good taste and love for details....(laguiole, glass storage, Simplicity and anónimus presence when the roof is lowered, etc) congratulations! G.Arteche Barcelona
Thanks so much
Good evening sir, I do Think you are the gentle magician of the year!
I follow your channel and as we can see Unicat is one of the best of the world.
i wish you the best for the futur, kind regards from Brittany of France.
Thank you
I have been collecting info for five years for my retirement build, this has been the most interesting yet, and defintely you presented the case to choose Volvo very well...would never have even considered it, but the close ups up the ndependent suspension, all turning wheels, independent suspension and self leveling jacks address all the check boxes for me...great video, now how do I buy the chassis stripped down like you did and have the suspension done here iin Toronto, Ontario Canada...lol
Crazy build!! I have 3 questions:
1) whats the ground clearance in expanded and not expanded state?
2) Whats the total weight (excluding diesel and water)?
3) Do you have an estimation of how much it costed?
Thanks for answering the questions.
Bottle holder with bungee rope tops are genius idea - i will made same my wee van camper :)
I like the centralised cabinet door locking. I don't know the details, because Thomas keeps these up his sleeve! But:
1/ If the systems fails (power cut, fuse blow). Then major internal disaster - not just the single cabinet you forgot to manually lock.
2/ Perhaps it is fail safe - power required to release locks. Then you are locked out until problem is resolved. No coffee to help diagnose problem.
Its a great system, when it works. But in case of a problem Thomas?
I always wanted to install a manual LaPavoni espresso maker above the fridges - now I have a good reason to do so .....
WOW, it's a really amazing smart design vehicle and I really like it， I will translate this video to Chinese and share it in China.
Thankyou... such a great video.. That is a dream camper right there... like a 5 star hotel.. Just don't have a clue how he would go about getting that heavy spare tire down when he needs it.
I've been waiting for this video for long love it
congratulations it's beautiful 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 yet another dream vehicle! ....
Thank you this great video... please keep making similar videos of your Unicats.
i can only admire the beauty of this machine. I would have to die few times before I can afford this beast... Anyway, congrats to Thomas for owning this beautiful machine
This vehicle is insane...
What a wonderful vehicle...
I am following you from Saudi Arabia I love creative work Thank you for the great ideas
🌹 👍
Thanks so much
Saving $1/day, it will take about 1,500 years for me to save enough to buy it.
I will start today.
You've built a beautiful mobile home. I like the functional features (especially the four-wheel steering) but also the colours and design you have chosen. Well done! On a side note, I find it interesting that you use a combination of metric and standard units of measurement. Canada is metric but as our southern neighbours don't use it, we are also measurement bilingual :-)
what do you mean by "standard" units? isn't metric the standard?
@@averagepainter :-) It should be, however, I've noticed that Thomas often mentions US Customary (i.e standard, not Imperial) units of measurement in his videos.
@Duncan,
Your southern 'neighbors' are amused by your inclusion of us in the global family...

Is a great The truck I wish i had a truck like this I have seen many videos of trucks but this whole video is the most awesome
Thanks and don't forget to subscribe to the channel and activate the bell
Nice video with good features in the truck👍
Really impressive build with so much attention to details about everything !
The central lock of every drawer and cupboard is the cherry on top of the cake for me.
What are the brand and model of the Independent suspension axle and hydropneumatic upgrades please ?
Did a bit a search on internet but didn't find.
I didn't see any tv..That's awesome love it
He is young, does n't TV.
It was a brilliant video very well narrated and the vehicle is fantastic but you did not say how you get the spare wheel off the roof
The biggest 4x4 truck iv seen so far!
i am in love with this vehicle!!
Exceptional overland truck 👌🏾 only a winch would make it perfect for me. Congratulations!
It has one, for dropping the spare.
Tony Lawless not the kinda winch I was referring to Tony 😎
@@johnphelan6623 I know, sorry John I'm just being silly. Thomas is not a fan of winches at all and thinks they are a waste which I think is why there isn't one on his unit. It is pretty cool though with or without.
@@tonylawless4742 True, I am not a fan of winches, just because they only can pull you out pretty straight and if you have a anchoring point - but in what situations is that the case ?
In most situations, there is nothing to hold on in front of you or behind you.
With a Greifzug ( Tirfor ) you can do much more, pulling into any direction.
Many years back, I had a MAN KATI 4x4 and got stuck on a beach in wet sand when the tide came up. We digged a big hole, put the spare wheel in, digged a tunnel to the vehicle and connected the cable of the Tirfor kind of underground to the front axle.
Pulling underground , we got the vehicle out before the tide arrived. Any other approach would have failed, even a winch, pulling at a certain angle would have lifted the spare wheel out of it´s hole.
@@thomasritter1470 thank you Thomas for your comments, I am a big fan of you and your company. I agree with you totally and I thank you for taking the time to reply. Amazing vehicles and engineering from you guys, keep up the good work 😎
