Ural 375d 6x6 round the world lorry

Hi

Due to mad work commitments I'm going to have to sell my ultimate offroad camper.

Its a ural 375d which when bought had 2000km on the clock

Russian Ural Conversion

My plan was to take to morocco for the surf season

Its been totally professionally converted with no expense spared (30, 000 grand +) into a go anywhere camper

Its design specification was that it could stay unsupported for two weeks in the field.

To achieve this it has huge water tanks, drinking water filtration system, generator power, 12v and solar.

It has the usual kitchen set up with gas/elec fridge hot and cold water

Internal and external hot/cold showers, cassette toilet.

It has yacht standard roof hatches and 5 top quality windows which open fully and are protected with mosquito nets meaning a fantastic open air experience, which is awesome at night

loads of made to measure storage, a permanent double bed with space mattress

The cab has hydraulic drivers chair and sound system, reversing system, 12volt plugs, seat belts and is fully soundproofed

The engine is bullet proof, incredibly easy to work on (I stripped out the fuel deliver system with an adjustable spanner and a hammer)

The roof has made to measure walkable roof racks which cover the length of the vehicle and also double to protect the solar panels, incorporated rollers make it easy to load canoes/kayaks/surf boards

There is a rear motor bike heavy duty electric winch and holding frame for an offroad bike (currently tailored for the bike in the pictures)

the spec is way too large to completely list, have a look at the conversion on the website above

also there is a website thread about the vehicle from pick up in germany, the drive home and the conversion from start to finish here

RussianMilitaryTrucks.com • View topic - The Gimp's Ural 375 professional camper conversion thread

Please enjoy reading about "TheBeast" as much as I have owning it

i should be putting up a website with the full spec on it all scanned in and a gallery when I get the time

Well I've finally got round to putting the beast on the market.

Please have a look at the ebay advert

As I write down the spec of it I keep thinking I should keep it as its so awesome...

nice truck, but you could probably reduce the number of solar panels by 75% and still generate more electricity if they weren't so badly shaded!

More info please

Hi,
I have just come across your post about your Ural. I would love to get more information from you. I have also written to you on ebay to get in touch with you as it looks like I found this info 10 days after your listing ended.

If you could get in touch with me via the personal contact part or i'm happy to send you my email address and we can go back and forth with more information that would be great.

Look forward to hearing from you.
