- Earthcruiser has released its most advanced expedition model based on the Mercedes-Benz Unimog U430. With 300hp of German engineering to carry the Earthcruiser Explorer XPR440, the combination of these two leading manufacturers has produced a level of exploration superiority that can literally take a family to experience the tour of a lifetime, and bring them back safely to civilisation.
Proven in use by Defence Forces throughout the world, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog features Vario-pilot, permitting a change between left and right hand drive, moving the steering wheel and pedals in under 10 minutes, meaning you have ultimate safety, vision and control no matter where your journey takes you. With a fuel range of up to 3500 km, the Unimog Earthcruiser is available with manual or automated manual transmissions. When negotiating severe off road tracks the approach, departure and ramp over angles give Explorer XPR440 amazing access.
The Earthcruiser Explorer is a purpose built 4x4 all-terrain Expedition Motorhome, with chassis-mounted tank capacity for 950 litres of water and 800 litres of fuel. Dependent on the intended severity of the terrain, weatherproof options are available to cater for extreme cold (-40degreesC) in Arctic conditions as well as extreme heat.

I’ve followed/watched a number of Mog sites focusing on those building from scratch. Not taking anything away from what all these adventurers have achieved, this is without a doubt the most incredible Mog fit out I’ve ever seen. Not only that, you have a number of ‘manual’ backups in case electronics fail….and so few people do this. This is built for Oz conditions and the level of day-to-day practicality is amazing. Designed by someone who knows what it’s like to camp day in and day out. Just stunning. You should be proud.
Thanks for you kind words it is nice when someone notices the details

This 'baby' Unimog looks small, but isn't. Stunning conversion!
When he opens BBQ and shows pie oven you know this is top of the range aussie gear
Studio apartment on wheels. Awesome!
Beautiful well done ✅
Thanks for this video, one of the best I have seen, making Aussie proud across the world!.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful vehicle
This is what I need,. Bring the house on my adventure.
Top stuff wish i had the money !!! Chaz
Bloody hell, that is in-flipping-credible! May I ask, are those little pull out platform and steps that are on the two rear storage areas a custom build or purchasable? Thank you 👍🏻
Never late back home
SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT!
Super 💪💪💪
Oooh the water purifier is a plus
To quote Batman ... "does it come in black?" ... but seriously, I wish I were a rich man.
Same here. I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat!
V beautiful video.🇵🇰🌹
Am watching again Mark🤠. You guys do awesome work. I love it so much 🥺. Let's say I have the mog, how much is the cost of everything else? Because this is the best set up period 🇿🇦
UNIMOGUベースのキャンピングカーは、ベースだけでも価格が高額な気がします。UNIMOGUベースので、山でも川沿いでも、海岸沿いでもキャンプ地になりそうですね。今は、日本各地で地震や台風災害でも慌てずに行動することが出来ますね。
If only we could all afford this rig. With a good toy hauler/trailer, it is THE ultimate rig.
She's beautiful and I would've loved to have that instead of the miniscule campervan I've got now, btw. It's 2 berth ford transit custom lwb with a multi fuel stove.🙏👍

2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle with a rear entry.
We travel internationally, often in areas of RHD alternating with LHD.
In many areas, your entry would be next to passing traffic.
If you are in traffic
@@earthcruiseraustralia1823😂😂😂😂
PIE OVEN!! SOLD! F'KIN SOLD!
This thing is made to make every survivor jealous. Almoust like Leatherman Signal!
Only difference is price, -missing four zeros.
Oh, i mean five.
❤
Those lucky people who could afford them..
If I can zoom it on the screen I guess it has a total of 850 liters of water onboard so we're the other tanks located
If there were 6 - 8 seatbelts, I think more people would write checks for this rig.😊
You can order this with 6-8 seats
I love the Unimog's VarioPilot feature. Do you only use the U430? Or can you also use the U530?
The U430 has a narrower track than the U530, allowing it to fit into containers more easily. The more important fact is when you order UNIMOG you can spec what thickness Chassis and what Suspension you require, the U430 has better options to achieve our 12t requirement (the U530 can't be "turned" down enough)
Agreed that VarioPilot ability is fantastic
How does that washing machine open? It looks like the door is blocked.
#1 on my dream list. The UGE is more my kind of thing with my home on the back. I'd hate to see the state of things in the back rock hopping in one. Is this sitting on 2350 rpm at 100 or does it have the higher speed axles bringing it down to 1900 to get those fuel returns? My cruiser towing a small camper uses 18's at that speed so amazing stuff really.
Great work and world class mate.
At 90km it uses 19lt per 100km, but you can travel at 110km per hour, you have to remember we weigh 12 - 13tonne
@@earthcruiseraustralia1823 12 mpg , what is the rated speed for those tires, size. How do u fix this rig in other countries?
@Quack,
Our rig -- 1996 Ford CF8000.
Cummins 505ci/8.3-liter (litre) mechanical, no computers.
Allison 3060.
At 52mph, we turn 1,825rpm.
We rarely get better than 14mpg.
GVWR -- 29,000#.
Weight across the scale -- 14,000#.
Nearly two decades full-time live-aboard.
My wife and I will be retiring soon and we will be looking for something like this.
How much money am i looking at.
Could you tell me the tow capability? thank you great set up
It can be optioned up to 16,000 - 20,000kgs
Fantastic machine ... so what does that retail out at 400-500k ?
I saw it was a million
Million Australian dollars so not much change out of £600,000 uk
Wow, you didn't cover the sleeping accommodation - another video?
Did you miss the bed??????????????
You make Aussies prowed. Just a quick question, this bike looks like it is sitting more than 60% rule. Is that because it is removable item this rule doesn't apply?
Yes it is over the 60% overhang rule and therefore it enters a grey area, as it is removable some states allow it others will fine you. So then the customers play the numbers game, have it for 10 years get fined twice $500 = $500 divided by 10 years = $50 per year to have a bike rack (not actual figures and I am not suggesting you break the law). Not a perfect solution but as the customers don't have the bike/s on all the time, that makes it workable. Also some states view Registered Motorbikes differently to Push Bikes and to add to the situation it depends on the Police Officer or Scale Officers
is there a means of having the pop up tent more insulated for cold winter Tassie weather ?
We run these in -70 degrees celsius in Siberia and North America, no problems, the curtain material is made from triple block PVC and with the heater on the lowest setting, it is still too hot without cycling (thermostatically controlled ON/OFF)
@@earthcruiseraustralia1823 should cope with Tassie climate ok, then! 😂. Can the Drop Bears get in through the windows though? 😋🇦🇺
SNOW, This rig U430 can handle snow trails wet and dry all day, not winch necessary, leaps and bounds capable. Hopefully, they can address this in future videos: Us, snow-storm hunters, know that A sustained cold front is a force of nature to be reckoned with...some fellows do not make it. even fire runs away from it. U can always lower the top to circle the heat better in case of a suden extreme drop in temp. My concern would be the cabs, they are not that well insulated from factory, the hoses, water valves etc, special windshield wiper fluid etc,...DO NOT KNOW if box built on a metal frame, wich is great, but it is a pain in very cold environment due to the metal cold transfer and more....
@Right,
Easily compensated with a heater for the quarters circulating through the engine radiator.
10:15 Why would you need a ballistic curtain between driver-side and living area?
It needs to be like that otherwise you would need a fixed hard barrier
For when your gun-owning wife finally snaps after you drag her out camping for the 20th time in the same year.
U do not have any bad-hombres in Ausieland, a bullet proof curtain....no needed
How does this sleep 3-5? I only see one queen bed
2 x In the queen bed, 1 x Front lounge seats dinette convert, 2 x Sky-beds =5
Good Day Sir do you export to south Africa the full rig regards jose

Hi
I’m just wondering how much the Unimog is worth?
Ball park figure?
Please forward your email to sales@earthcruiser.net.au & we will forward you all the information. It depends how you option it up.
Would be interested to know cost
How tall are. you Mark? wondering on head height inside?
I am 6ft, the internal roof height 2100mm (roof up), 1500mm (roof down)
So, no need to invest on a house if you could carry your home with you everywhere you go...wish I could afford one....
Is DEF Ad Blue readily available in all Africa?
Google says it is
No
what is the fuel consumption of this vehicle?
Approx 20lt per 100km
Where can I store my 2 person deep sea diving bell ?
In the locker
what is the weight of the toilet support..
I am not sure what you mean?
@@earthcruiseraustralia1823 what is the max weight of the shitter before it fails..
Meaning how does it handle 130kg 6'1" person
It would handle that weigh ok
👍
And where do you store your clothes etc.?
May be the drawers or the roof pod????
Not enough storage.
For who?
Tow a trailer 😂
Price ?

It will be awesome if you can put incinerator toilet there
When you place your order you will be able to specify one, let me know when you have paid your deposit
where is Sleeping beds?
In the vehicle
dang what a rig hectic
So, this is what feels like having a Man love for a Truck? Right on the poverty!!!
"massive resolution"
lol
Hmmm...a unimog is wee bit too bulky for a 4v4....a more compact 4v4 for oneor two wud be great person
Everything good except you cant not take this to snow
Why? what has been your experience in a U430 in the snow?
How much ?

Nice, but too complicated.
Not that different to an ocean going yacht.
So the toilet is out in the open? WTF?
Thanks for your input - we know if you are an "Overland" Earthcruiser customer just simply if you understand the inside toilet and shower, I guess you don't. Sorry.....
😔😔👍👍👍
All a bit silly isn’t it. Complete with outdoor pie oven. If you want to live like this check in to the nearest four seasons.
You cant do that in the middle of the deserts of Australia, prairie lands of Canada or the tundra polar deserts found in Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Scandinavia, We can, Earthcruiser can....These are world adventure vehicles and nothing we fit to them is "silly" when you are at -70C degrees (incl wind chill) in Oymyakon, Russia, these are not comforts but necessities all built on a hierarchy or redundancy - so if one system fails you have options to keep you going.
@@earthcruiseraustralia1823 Well said👍I’m doing the Simpson is 5 weeks. As much as I love my 2012 hilux extra cab, my wife would love this, and so would I to be honest😆
Enjoy the desert, we all do
Too much onboard electronics, in my opinion. After more than 20 long journeys around the world, I learned it's very hard to get electronics support in many parts of Asia, Africa and South America. That's why I prefer easier solutions, an engine not controlled by electronics, no touch screen but electric high quality switches, less electric devices (no electric stairs, for example, but manual) . Less devices = less chance of failure, less maintenance and easier.
We have all that and more as a backup - if needed
Just shut up and take my money already!
Seriously though, I wish there was a bit more information about cruising speed on the 'Mog. How many RPMs at 100km/h in top gear? And what sort of range do you get from the two tanks of diesel, and how often would you need to refill the adblue tank.
Presumably this rig would fit in a standard sized shipping container....?
110km in any direction including straight up. It uses 19lt per 100km on the Highway and Off-road depends. We fit a larger ad-blue tank which needs filling every 10,000km (Hwy use). It will fit in a High Cube Shipping container once it is dropped onto its container rims
Wow all that spec,and there isn’t a private toilet and the shower is basically a shower curtain wrapped around you 🙄🙄🙄
Thanks for your input - we know if you are and "Overland" Earthcruiser customer just simply if you understand the inside toilet and shower, I guess you don't. Sorry.....
