Can someone identify this camper? The sign in the window says "for sale!"

Edit: It's a 1981 DAF YA 4440 Dutch ex-military truck with custom camper. Asking price $80K.

The last one is a Dutch truck, there is a topic about here somewhere else on the forum.
I believe it is for sale at Global Xpeditions Vehicles.

Around 1pm today the FOR SALE sign was turned around with "sold" printed on it.

That's nuts that it sold. I wonder where it's off to now and the adventures it will see.





Don't forget the F-650

That's Jay Shapiro's Eco-Roamer. Glad he made it!
Does anyone have interior photos?
