Camping SUV? Mil truck? What is it?

I saw this in a parking lot this morning... it was occupied so I didn't want to approach. What is it?

That thing showed up at my work yesterday, guy didn't speak a word of English, but luckily we have a advisor who speaks German. I thought it was a very old Mercedes G wagon.

Pinzgauer with a camper.

There was one local on Craigslist, with trooper/passenger bed for $5000.

If I had a few paychecks from the new job it would have been mine, but someone bought it.

Thanks! It was in a gas station parking lot yesterday morning in LaPlace (Hwy 51 near I10). I've ridden in Pinzgauers before. Global wildlife uses them for the private tours. (which if you haven't done the private tour you need to!) It didn't look the same as their Pinzgauers.
I'd buy one of these for $5K in a heart beat. I looked online and found them for about $50K now though... It would be great to have either one of these or a pinzgauer with today's weather!!!

Yeah, it seemed like someone's dad died and the kids were liquidating the property/assets. It lasted about 2.5 days before it sold, about 2.4 days longer than I thought it would.

They come in 6 & 4 wheel versions.





The one Magdump shared is probably a custom camper on a Pinzgauer body.

Makes me think of MASH.

Before you people comment, let me be clear:
I know they did NOT have one of these vehicles in MASH. But for some reason, it made me think of the show. Carry on.

Hmmm... my wife has been throwing hints about a mercedes suv for her next car... 230GE or GLE450, I don't think she'd notice the difference!

You just triggered an early memory from childhood. I am pretty sure I was 2 years old when I saw MASH for the first time. I marveled at the helicopters, jeeps, trucks, and GP tents!
