There is nothing shocking in a new expedition vehicle that costs half a million bucks and above. On the contrary, anything cheaper is either met with skepticism or considered a great deal to buy. Today we would like to defy this tough reality by demonstrating the market’s cheapest expedition rigs that still possess worthy globetrotting capabilities, but at least carry price tags in 5 and lower six figures margins.

The Turkish manufacturer Crawler, has been on a roll ever since receiving international recognition in 2020 for the Otag 600. The all-new 385 model is its smaller variant with the Unimog underpinnings, instead of the MAN chassis.

Already quite well-known for their truck toppers, AT Overland is now ready with their largest build to date – the Alterra XL flatbed camper that fits 6.5 to 8 feet truck beds and can support your travels all year round.

The Nevada Hunter RMV uses this Austrian Steyr 12 M 18 Truck modified for the US military purposes as a base chassis for their Predator II and Apex builds.

Headquartered in Nevada, the AEON RV expedition vehicle follows the fundamental concepts that are infused in its acronym name: All-season, Electric, off-road and new.

SLRV Iveco Daily 4x4 3480A uses the 4x4 Iveco Daily platform powered by a 180-hp 3L Iveco Diesel. The camper body is mounted using a 3-point torsion free chassis mounting system allowing independent twist and minimal transfer of forces.

From the custom aluminum flatbed to the smallest door – all the structural elements of this expedition camper are handmade in Maine. Portlite has developed a duo of fully molded rigs for the regular 6.5 feet bed and a long 8-feet version.

AAV, short for Australian Adventure Vehicles, is a Brisbane-based manufacturer of motorhomes led by a family duo of passionate adventurers Kim and Lyn Bolton. Their latest Global Explorer project is built relying on the experience gathered when travelling across different parts of Asia, Africa, Russia, Europe, and the Americas.

The entry-level 11 foot and 13 foot models by Bliss Mobil may be smaller than the company’s flagship vehicles, but they are definitely not less feature reach and expedition-proof. Both are built around a robust self-supporting container frame with sandwich panel walls.

The Californian designer and camping enthusiast spared no expense on the development of this custom rig. It is based on the Ford F550 chassis and fitted with a composite flat-bed cabin.

At this time, the Adventure Vehicle’s lineup includes 2 models: base and XT with a cab-over sleeping area. They get over an inch-thick fiberglass composite bodies with closed-cell foam insulation and cab to cabin access.

"Here's a bunch of affordable vehicles that cost as much as a new house"

[mraidymaddful]

You can buy a decent army truck online for £20K to use as a base vehicle. Then spend the same again on a newish 2 / 3 berth caravan and strap it to the back and HEY PRESTO, instant overland truck.
One of these vehicles on this vid was exactly what I just described, only they are charging $150K for it.

[imrekalman]

I would start building one with a Kamaz, 4x4 (4350, €37k), 6x6 (5350, €40k) or 8x8 (6560, €110k) depending on the needs. If the sport variant is good enough to win the Dakar 18 times a stock should be more than enough as a basis of a expedition vehicle.

the Aeon RV best suited with the IVECO Daily M140 20W 4X4 + 2.0 in. Lift 5.6 TDI I6 4-Dr Double Cab Camper Truck (RHD) . . .

Two of those are constructed with our camper kits.

2 fave"s are #7 AAV & #5 iveco - good vid :)

[whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

I guess for those of us that have used a bike, a VW or a car we don't fit this. You can explore the world on a LOT LESS then these!!

What is the contraption on the door?
It appears to be a random collection of white PVC pipes...

[twayland]

The hunter rmv isn't a good value because it's a $25k truck with a $18k travel trailer bolted to it. They disguise it with the shroud between the cab and camper section. The other vehicles on the list are much better options

Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia, gracias por compartir.
