A partial trade for a 2015-2017 Porsche Turbo S would be considered.

This 2003 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U500 was purchased by the seller in 2020 as a cab-over-engine tilt-bed truck and was subsequently converted into an overland-style expedition vehicle with the addition of a camper cabin. The truck is finished in white and powered by a 6.4-liter turbodiesel inline-six paired with an eight-speed pre-selector manual transmission, a selectable transfer case, and portal axles. The camper cabin is separate from the cab and features a living area with a kitchenette, a fold-out sofa, a sleeping area with twin and queen-size mattresses, and a bathroom. Additional equipment includes a power-operated slide-out, a 1,200-watt solar panel system, a heater, a portable air conditioner, a TCL flat-screen television, a Furrion DVD audio/video system, and an external propane-powered barbecue grill. Service in preparation for the sale included flushing the coolant, recharging the air-conditioning refrigerant, and changing the oil. This Unimog camper has 14k miles and is now offered with a Mercedes-Benz diagnostic computer, the removed cargo bed, and a clean California title in the seller’s name that lists the truck as a 2003 Mercedes-Benz motorhome.

The body was refinished in white during the conversion, and the underside was painted black at that time. The cab tilts forward to provide access to the engine and other mechanicals. The camper cabin was adapted from a Coachmen aluminum-frame unit and is coated with white bedliner rhino coating. Equipment includes an LED light bar, high-mounted auxiliary front lights, a polished fuel tank, a stacked exhaust pipe, rear tow shackles, a receiver hitch, and front and rear hydraulic and pneumatic hookups. The removed cargo bed is included in the sale, and gallery photos show the bed installed on the truck prior to the conversion.

The camper cabin is constructed on a frame, and features include a power-operated slide-out, four windows, under-mount storage bins, roof-mounted solar panels, rear utility lights, shore utility hook-ups, a power-operated awning, and a portable propane-powered barbecue grill. A 36-gallon freshwater tank, a 30-gallon gray water tank, a 30-gallon black water tank, and twin 7-gallon propane tanks are mounted under the camper. The cabin is currently mounted to the truck’s secondary subframe, it can be mounted directly to the truck frame and positioned 8″ lower if the tipper bed and sub frame are removed.

Black 20″ wheels are mounted with 395/85 Michelin XZL tires, and a spare with a winch-powered hoist is mounted on the back of the camper. The truck is equipped with anti-lock brakes.

The cab features two factory ISRI Isrinhausen air seats with multi-colored cloth upholstery as well as a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and a Unimog-branded rubber floor covering. The center console houses a joystick controller for the hydraulics and controls for the triple locking differentials, range selectors, parking brake, trailer pneumatics, and power windows. Features include air conditioning, a modular storage console that converts to a jumpseat, a reverse-view camera, and a Sony XAV-AX8000 multimedia touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth capability. The air-conditioning refrigerant was recently recharged in preparation for the sale.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 75-mph speedometer, a 3k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary gauges, and a pair of digital displays for additional vehicle functions. The digital odometer indicates 14k miles, approximately 1k of which were added during current ownership.

The living quarters feature LED lighting, a fold-out sofa situated in the slide-out, vinyl flooring, overhead storage cabinets, and control panels for the batteries, solar system, air heater, water heater, and holding tanks. The kitchenette includes composite countertops, a sink, a Dometic gas range, a dual-power Dometic refrigerator/freezer, a Magic Chef microwave oven, and an Atwood furnace. The bathroom is outfitted with a shower, sink, commode, and ceiling vent.

The sleeping area features lower twin-size and upper queen-size memory foam mattresses, two windows, a ceiling vent, a portable air conditioner, and a residential-style electrical plug. Entertainment equipment includes a TCL flat-screen television and a Furrion DVD audio/video system with Bluetooth capability. The house batteries and charging equipment are mounted under the lower bunk.

The electrical system includes a roof-mounted 1,200-watt solar panel system, an AIMS 4000-watt continuous inverter/charger, an EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller, and four Mightymax 12-volt 200Ah AGM batteries.

The 6.4-liter OM906LA turbodiesel inline-six produced 286 horsepower at 2,200 rpm when new, with 700 lb-ft of torque available from 1,200-1,600 rpm.

Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed pre-selector manual transmission, a selectable transfer case, locking differentials, and portal axles. The truck has a crawl ratio in excess of 3,000:1, permitting it to move at 0.09 mph at approximately 2,000 rpm.
