A U500 bare chassis was a few years ago 105000 euro in germany before tax and all the shiny extras from Merc before you convert anything! (Like the sliding steering wheel and controls so you can change from LHD to RHD at the flick of a lever. As handy for driving to work, then changing sides for grass cutting, hedge trimming etc as when globe trotting )
In my opinion thats a waste of money having a Unimog as a base. The drivetrain is more complex than just about any other truck so that you can go places no other truck can get to (apart from a U5000 of course ). So why then have all that storage space built in along the sides maybe only 500mm up? Thats like building the ultimate off road Range Rover at no expense spared, then putting side steps and skirts on that will ground you out at every opportunity. A more normal MAN or Merc 4*4 truck would cost half but be just as capable with all that rubbish so low down!
