It’s not every day that a true-blue military vehicle comes our way, and this 1996 Stewart & Stevenson M1079 Camper Truck is exactly that. Built as part of the U.S. military’s Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles program, the M1079 was designed to operate in extreme environments where reliability, protection, and self-sufficiency are non-negotiable. This example features the factory enclosed van body, effectively functioning as a camper-style truck originally intended to provide safe accommodation and operational support in active conflict zones. Power comes from a Caterpillar turbocharged diesel engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering the torque and durability expected of a mission-critical platform. With its imposing presence, military-grade construction, and unmistakable character, this M1079 is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes. And for those who enjoy camping or overlanding in truly remote areas, where encounters with wildlife are more than just a possibility, few vehicles offer the same level of security and confidence as this purpose-built military truck.
We’re told that this hulking 1996 Stewart & Stevenson M1079 Camper Truck has been repainted in black, which only serves to turn up the menacing vibe that it already portrays. Sitting tall on its massive 20-inch black wheels shod in Goodyear 395/85 MV/T tires, there’s also a central tire inflation system that lets you air them down for traversing soft surfaces like sand or snow. Then, with the flick of a switch, you can pump them back up for tarmac or hard surfaces. Now isn’t that neat? Thanks to the vehicle’s high ground clearance and short overhangs, you need not worry about the terrain either. You’ve also got an original Stewart & Stevenson winch to help you get out of particularly sticky situations, or help others who have ventured out of their depth. The gray and black interior of this 1996 Stewart & Stevenson M1079 Camper Truck is spartan, we won’t lie. But look at it like a blank canvas, waiting to be customized to your taste. There’s enough space in the rear, and thanks to those windows, you’ve got a decent amount of natural light as well. Whether you want to make it luxurious or keep it minimalistic, the choice is yours.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3116 6.6-liter turbocharged inline-six diesel engine, renowned for its torque output, reliability, and long service intervals. The engine is paired with an Allison 7-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case, delivering full-time four-wheel drive with high and low range capability. Heavy-duty solid axles, leaf-spring suspension, and air-over-hydraulic brakes allow the M1079 to carry substantial payloads while maintaining stability over rough terrain. A 24-volt electrical system and military-grade driveline components further underscore the truck’s original role as a dependable, mission-critical vehicle.

Purists best remember the Volkswagen Transporter as the Type 2 microbus or kombi. But Volkswagen has made several generations since then. The T4 or fourth generation was produced between 1995 and 2004, and of course, camper variants were popular too. That’s what we have here for grabs in Laguna Beach, California, a 2003 Volkswagen Transporter T4 EuroVan with 188,000 miles on the clock. This fine camper van comes with a pop-up top, the owner’s manual and a smooth six-cylinder engine driving its rear wheels. So if you’re a fan of road trips where you take your house with you, this van is the ideal companion.
Hang on…wasn’t the Volkswagen Type 2 or Kombi a Sixties and Seventies symbol? Of course it was, and in Germany at least, it was made from 1967 to 1979. But in Brazil, production kept going until as late as 2013! That’s what this 2013 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus Last Edition is, a celebration or a last hurrah to a vehicle that shaped countless lives across the world. This bus has traveled a light 20,117 miles and currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Oh, and if you can’t tell by the photos, it’s got a Martini Racing-style livery, too! We’re told that it totes a reupholstered leather and alcantara interior, an aftermarket sound system, and more.
One of the most iconic and influential vehicles of all time, the Volkswagen Type 2 microbus is an icon of love and freedom. Popularly used as camper conversions, the Type 2 was made from 1967, all the way up to 2013 in Brazil! Yes, you could get a Type 2 well into the 2010s, despite German production ceasing in 1979 to make way for the new Transporter range. Today’s 2011 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Camper Bus is likely one of those Brazil-made machines, with its custom plaid camper interior, full wood camper cabinet system and built-in compact refrigerator. It’s traveled just over 110,000 miles and is up for grabs in Orlando. So if you’re the type who likes to go touring, but stay in your vehicle, this is the perfect candidate.
