Thanks to the engaged forum user @R0Sch the inventory for the LEGO Technic Volvo Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator (Set 42175) was shared on a legal way two months before the official set release, so I was lucky to start a B-model design very early. No, I had no early access to the physical set like others and bought the set at day one, August the 1st. in my local store. The model I made is a Mercedes Atego Expedition Camper, only with parts from 42175 Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator as alternative build (B-model). The main set provides all the parts to build, no spare parts or other parts outside this set are required. Designer love to put easter-eggs inside, isn't it? So this model uses exactly 2024 parts as an easter-egg for the release year. Pneumatic Functions foldable stairs to access living cabin lifting platform to carry Quad Functions & Features HoG-steering working piston engine openable doors for drivers cab pendular suspension with turntable openable door for living cab openable sidedoor to access equipment foldable sunroof twin tires in the rear cargo-area to store equipment many equipment included (read below) upgradeable with other wheels and MB-star (from 42177) measures (all closed) 40cm x 17cm x 19cm Model in Action Some Impressions Some Outdoor-Shots Cabin Details On top of the drivers cab you can grab a wheel to steer the truck with a pretty good steering angle. Both doors of the drivers cab can be opened to watch inside. Between the driver seats you can find a working 4-cylinder piston engine that is connected to the rear twin tires. The model comes with pendular suspension, using a turntable from the set between the drivers cab and the living cab with drivetrain through that turntable. The pendular angle is limited to approx 7.5 degrees per side. Pneumatic inside Like the 42175 main set, this alternate build has cool Pneumatic functions inside as well. The pump is controlled from the top of the living cab; the valves from the side. Basically the living cab is divided into 2 sections: At the first half all the Pneumatic stuff and the working stairs is placed. The second half provides enough space to safely store and transport all the equipment that comes with this model. Foldable stairs (Pneumatic) Once the door for the living cab has been opened, the stairs can be pumped down to fully reach the ground and to access the cab. The door closes even when the stairs is completely down, which is a pretty nice feature I'm happy with. Track links from the main set are used for the steps to make a solid staircase with some refreshing design never seen before. Lifting Platform (Pneumatic) The Mercedes Atego has a quad on his trip, that is carried by a lifting platform. When the Pneumatic cylinder is fully extended, the platform reaches exactly the ground and the quad can enter on this. Luckily the Pneumatic has enough pressure to lift up and to hold the whole platform with the weight of the quad. Additional chains can be used to secure the platform and the bike while driving around and going on vacation with this model. Sunroof In case it is getting hot inside the living cab, a sunroof is openable up to 30 degrees with a crank mechanism. This also provides more space over the head for people inside the living cab. When the sunroof is closed, it is completely hidden inside the frame of the Camper. Equipment included The mentioned quad with working steering Camping chairs & table... ...they are all foldable to stack Smoker BBQ-grill and fire-barrel... ...with openable lid for the grill Mobile satellite dish that fits on the table... ...and even better on top of the Camper ALL of the equipment can be transported with the Expedition Truck itself and nothing stays back during vacation. The equipment is accessible through a large openable sidedoor in the living cab. Borrow them a real star By design, it's very easy to spend the model a more realistic looking Mercedes-Benz star. Just pull out the axle with the 2x2 round tile with hole and replace them with a custom 2x2 round tile and pin with snap. The actually best match for a real star on this Atego is with the set 42177 Mercedes G-500. Either the 2x2 round tile with print or the one with sticker in the back can be used here for a Mercedes brotherhood. When the street is not enough... ...then give the Camper your own rims and offroad tires. By design, the model is made to easy swap wheels up to 56x26 Tractor tires with no rebuild required. Based on the real thing Front and drivers cab are highly based on second generation Mercedes-Benz Atego from 2013 with 4-cylinder diesel engine. Final note A Camper was on my personal B-model wishlist for a long time and now thanks to the inventory of the set 42175 it was possible to make it. A lot of summerlove was spent on this one and the whole model feels like endless vacation. Just pack some things and go on a trip for a long time. A heart-project I was working on from beginning of June to end of August this year. Have fun with this Mercedes Atego Expedition Camper alternate build.

The "ARV"-Armored Recreational Vehicle ---------------------------------------- The post-apocalyptic Wastelands in the Future can be quite dangerous and treacherous,but what if you have a Family you want to protect and you want to find a better Place to live? Well,just hope you got one of these,the "ARV" (stands for "Armored Recreational Vehicle). A once ordinary Offroad Van,this Allwheel drived Vehicle gets through pretty much everything thanks to the rugged and massive Cage that protects the vulnerable Enginebay and Windshield from Damage. I wanted to try the new flared Fender Pieces Lego introduced this Year and one Thing i immediatly thought of was "rugged 4x4 Camper". The Roofrack holds some Luggage and Sparewheels which are hold in Place by a strong Net. The Grill Area contains a Nod to 2 older Lego Sets,Hero Factory (see the little Badge?) and Power Miners.

Hello, With this first post I wanted to share with you my latest MOC which I call The Old School Caravan Trip. It is my humble tribute to the classic 'car and caravan' sets done in a bit old fashion way, with a tiny vintage car towing almost equally tiny caravan. The caravan is fitted with a foldable bike rack, a roof rack for the luggage and it has just enough space inside to fit a bed for one minifigure. As an experiment, I decided to submit this MOC as a product idea on LEGO Ideas, so if you fancy supporting it, you may find it here. Hope you'll enjoy it!
