Positioned as an uber-expensive and well-equipped off-roader in the United States, the Mercedes-Benz Gelaendewagen is the go-to vehicle of choice for militaries and commercial customers around the world, thanks to its rugged construction and go-anywhere capabilities. This 1982 Mercedes-Benz Gelaendewagen camper, for sale on Hemmings.com, started life as a military-spec ambulance before its repurposing as a civilian camper. Inside, the rig sports a stove, refrigerator, sink, table, toilet, shower and over-the-cab bed, all the essentials for a weekend getaway to the middle of nowhere. Power comes from a five-cylinder diesel that’s racked up a reported 18,000 kilometers, meaning it’s just barely broken in. For those seeking an alternative to a Volkswagen Westphalia, this G-wagen may be just the ticket. From the seller’s description:
