Re: [A/S] Boondocker Heaven
During my boondocking trip to the Baja I kept running into a vehicle (I
believe the same model) being driven by a German couple. They always beat
me to the most remote spots. The fellow told me that he had customized the
vehicle based on a Mercedes truck frame. Most accessories were military
issue but there was a lot of state of the art RV gear.
He told me that he had invested over $350,000 in the unit. He also told me
to be on the lookout for his Big Brother, a boondocker vehicle based on a
much larger Mercedes chasis.
It belongs to his friend who spent $750,000 on the his coach.
I assume that these new vehicles will not have any mechanical
breakdowns. If they do I would like to be a mouse in the corner when the
Mexican mechanics go to work :)
