Action Mobil Global XRS 7200 – a rugged motorhome

Action Mobil Global XRS 7200-01

Motorhomes are a perfect companion for wanderers, however at times it can be limited to on-road use only. Austrian company, Action Mobil has solved that – meet the Global XRS 7200, a 6X6 all-wheel drive motorhome, that comes in a military green paint and one that can go where no other mobile home can.

Built in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer, Austria, the living space is built on top of a MAN chassis. It’s powered by a 720 hp engine that sends power to all its six wheels. That much power is needed as the rugged mobile home weighs a hefty 18,000 kg. It measures in at 9,700 mm long, 2,470 mm wide and 3,790 high with the suite behind it taking up 7,200 mm of its total length.

It has dual 400 litre diesel tanks, a 140 litre black water tank and a 250 litre grey water tank located at its centre, while fresh water is stored in a 720 litre tank which can be found onboard. Aside from a central tyre inflation system, and an “Arctic Kit,” that keeps the vehicle stable in the extreme cold, it also comes fitted with a hydraulic motorcycle lift that allows owners to bring their bikes along with them.

Inside, it’s more luxurious than any camper van can get. It comes with wood panels, stone flooring together with counters that has many drawers, table tops, an oven and a washing machine cum dryer. The dining table can be converted into a bed, while the rear also features another sleeping area, located just behind the small kitchen. The washroom comprises a bidet toilet, sink and a shower.

Creature comforts included in the Global XRS 7200 consist of LED lighting, a 40-inch HD TV, a Bose audio system, Apple TV media streaming and a large hard drive for content. Satellite internet connection and a wireless local area network are some of the connectivity features that comes as standard.

Electricity is provided via an 8.64 kWh lithium-ion battery which can be charged up when the vehicle is in motion. Up top, sits a 1,440 watt solar panels which will take over the charging when the vehicle has been parked. All-in-all, the Global XRS 7200 doesn’t come cheap, it’s priced at £585,000 (RM3.9 million).

    • Kita mesti bersyukur kepada BN kerana semua orang ada rumah di Malaysia. Tengok Mat Salleh, kena tinggal dalam motorhome kerana tak ada rumah.

      Terimakasih BN. Kami sayang dengan mu

      • Actually thats quite true, RBA john. In Europe, the pipu are more to renting homes and living spaces than outright buying nowadays.
        In terms of homeownership percentage, Malaysia is higher than in EU.

          Thats how the Austrians spell ‘electrisity’. Hmm This vehicle might as well be bullet and bomb proof to go into the deep jungles of africa or the dessert in the middle east!

    I don’t know about you guys but if I decide to live like a hermit for the rest of my life, this would be the best solution. Heck, I can even go to Kalimantan Barat, Timur and Tengah using this baby no worries over thugs and thieves along the way! Hehe.. They say there are no roads from Pontianak to Palangkaraya, well I say just do it!!

    unfortunately this may cost something like a million ringgit.

    for those who are really interested in outdoor life once in a while too bad they are more often than not having the financial capabilities.

    while those who can afford this thing is unlikely willing to leave their comfort of home and luxury lifestyle to be a part of nature.
    unlikely in malaysia.

    Try sleeping in your motor home at a secluded beach or anywhere else that offer natural lifestyle in this country, you are more likely to get mugged or robbed.

    • In Pinoy, you are more likely to get kidnapped and free holiday in some secluded island. So I rather take a normal mugging anytime.

    Perhaps our convicted dentist should buy this truck and convert to dental mobile clinic and give free dental service to the poor/homeless for 5 to 10 years.(Free extractions,fillings,titanium implants etc)
    Like his proposal,not to serve jailtime…he should cough up rm 4 juta of his own money and do community service.
