KRUG Expedition has unveiled an expedition motorhome based on a decommissioned Stewart & Stevenson M1078A1 army truck. The 4.9-meter living module includes a double bed, a kitchen with an induction hob and Miele microwave, and a separate bathroom with shower and dry toilet. Power comes from a 24V lithium-ion battery with 990 Ah capacity and a 1400 W solar array; fresh water tank holds 492 liters. The vehicle is powered by a 7.2-liter Caterpillar turbodiesel producing 330 hp and 1166 Nm, enabling off-road use.

In Russia, series production of a camper based on the LADA NIVA (VIS 2346 modification) has begun. The vehicle features a living module for 2-4 people, including hot water supply, a toilet with shower, a gas stove, and a refrigerator. The frame and suspension have been reinforced, pneumatic elements added to the rear axle, and the final drive ratio changed. Two solar panels provide autonomous power. The project is officially certified.
