A few years ago, I built a turbocharged, Air-conditioned, camper, caravan, motorhome in India [RV or recreational vehicle].
It would be just the thing for a rally support truck, disaster relief,
rural medical clinic, volunteer work, or just for fun. No need to drive
to India overland through unstable countries, or for an expensive carnet
or difficult visas. It has an electric motorbike lift on the back!
Winch, generator, welding bottles...
Due to other projects and commitments, I don't have time for it anymore. It's for sale; €24,000. or rs.1,400,000 [14 lakh]
Even if you can't afford it, check it out, because dreams are free!
The most important part of this vehicle is the registration. It's registered in the state of Goa, not as a bus or a truck; on paper, it's a 7.5 meter, 6 ton car. As a private vehicle, it can be freely driven throughout India. Commercial vehicles require special permits to cross state lines.
