Ok, let's take it to the other EXTREME: The UNIMOG truck! http://www.unimogtrucks.com/products/utility.asp
Now this is a real man's soaring and recreational vehicle! For those uninitiated, this is a real OFF-ROAD TRUCK! By truck I don't mean a pickup truck, utility truck, or some soccer moms SUV/Minuvan, but a real 4-wheel-drive TRUCK. Some farmers in Africa (and across the world) even use these truck as TRACTORS to pull plows, trailers, haul a lot a crap, and general heavy hauling farm work. Back in the days when I lived in South Africa I used to go hang gliding almost every weekend. The sites that we flew from were typical mountain ridges and mountain tops. Many/most of these sites did not have standard access roads to them. During meets or competitions some people would use these Unimog trucks to haul the hang glider pilots *and* there hang gliders to the top of the mountains. These trucks would go over boulders the size/height of a grown man's hip without a hiccup...! Through a canvas over the back to make it a camper and you can haul as much "sh*&#$%t" as you want, including enough camping gear and supplies to last you several months! *grin* Cameron RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
