GAZ-66 for travel – you shouldn’t make such motorhomes

A cross-country motorhome is something that hunters, fishermen and travelers often dream of. As a rule, most of them make do with serial by cars, family. At best, there is an SUV for conquering nature, usually domestically produced - "Niva" or UAZ. As for motorhomes, they are rare in our country. But there are plenty of trailers-dachas, they are also campers. By the way, for lovers of active recreation, which includes hunting and fishing, a standard motorhome is not suitable. It is designed for roads with asphalt pavement, and in the mud it will sit on the bottom. The same will happen with a trailer. You can't drag it.

The optimal solution would be to create a motorhome based on an SUV. Preferably a cargo and all-wheel drive one, so that there is enough space. The most budget-friendly option is to use Soviet cars as a chassis. Such as GAZ-66, ZIL-131, Ural-4320. Only the first two trucks petrol engines with inadequate fuel consumption. If you can somehow come to terms with the "Shishiga", then the ZIL-131 will make you horrified. You can replace the petrol engine with a diesel one. There are already converted versions on sale. And some order ready-made motorhomes. In such cases, they usually turn out to be expensive, but not always functional. The author of the channel "Motorhome and House on Wheels" will tell you about such a GAZ-66.
