    M1078 with Camper Trailer

    Yeah that would be a sweet setup. Seen a Unimog 406 setup that way; granted no bed left over on back of a 406 in that scenario. Would be great way to go with an FMTV too.

    Don't forget .... or in case you do not know.. the Transmission sticks a good bit above the chassis and bed's sub-chassis. That will increase your overall height 10 inches or more from ground unless you cut the bottom of camper out at one end and box around the tranny with some sort of Hump.
