Even more European RVs appeared on the streets today. I am wondering if perhaps these are arrivals - in time to see the fall colours, then head south for warm winter weather. In no particular order:
Dakar Ready Looking like a refugee from the famed North African off road rally, this M.A.N. beast looks ready to take on any kind of terrain.
It is big enough to rate two pictures.
The tilting crew cab, giant fuel tank and lots of brighteners give the rig a distinctive look.
Carado Reisemobile from Germany re-badges the Fiat cab/chassis with their own grille logo on this T-Series unit.
Citro Vees Those upside down Vees are enough to identify Citroën without the need for wording - in Europe anyway. The evolution of that logo has taken another step in 2022 - see: CitroV
Another Citroën of unknown conversion was partly shaded. It is based on the "Jumper" model delivery van.
The shadow was created by its neighbour (Jumper next to Sprinter)
This high clearance Merc is an Iglhaut Allrad AWD conversion from a standard two wheel drive Sprinter. The horns are an interesting touch - they do not appear in Iglhaut's literature - but would likely scare the daylights out of any wayward cyclists. Not so sure about moose or elk.
I notice also the high breather on the driver's side A-pillar - maybe the Sprinter is also a Swimmer?
I see very few de-mountable pickup based campers from Europe, mostly because European car/truck manufacturers are not noted for their pickup trucks. Enter Japanese pickup makers such as Nissan, who provided this truck for a Tischer camper.
This one appears to be the winner of the "Sticker Competition". I spotted Jasper and Lake Louise stickers and the Newfoundland and Canada flags. I believe I also detect the Greek flag.
Of course there are also well appointed domestic RVs on the roads, such as the Canadream Ford in the background and some unusual "Canadian" trucks too - such as this imported Suzuki RHD steroidal motorcycle pickup. I'd love to see a camper converison on this:
