unimog: mobile living

the unimog is not a mythical swamp creature but rather a large truck produced by
mercedes-benz. the massive trucks are designed for use in extreme locations such
as jungles and desserts, however campgrounds will have to be added to that list.
the new use is thanks to a couple of belgian architects who converted a unimog into
their own personal mobile home. the couple use the vehicle to travel around europe
6-months a year. when they return home to antwerp they park the vehicle inside,
using it as their washroom. the rest of the home is inside a garage, which has been
converted into their home. they seam to find it hard to accept the intended use
for things.
