What a refreshing change from the times of camel travel! An Austrian company using their "expertise from yacht-building"? Before you know it Innuits will be hired to train sheik's meharis :-)

I can confirm it's a Land Rover. The interior is blatantly lifted from my 110. That's the last time I give out fabric samples to over-inquisitive Austrians.

I wonder if they have used Velcro or BluTac to keep those statues in place when going over corrugations?
I always have a nightmare with mine...

From the pics on the ActionMobil site it looks like everyone sleeps in the sitting room - bit of a squat really
It uses closed circuit telly on drop down screens to see outside, obviously the yachtbuilder thought it would sink if he put in windows.
I wonder if they used a second hand truck to save money. That model ceased production in the early 90s I think

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
