[MV] Camper body/box for Unimog

I've got a 1963 Unimog 404.114 with the troop/cargo body and drop sides. =
(pritsche) It has the bows and canvas, but it makes for less than =
comfortable camping.

This past weekend at the Tobyhanna, PA, MV meet, I met some interesting =
gentlemen who had a HUMVEE with an American radio box in the back. It =
was an AN/GRC-122 enclosure, for RTTY or other communications. The unit =
would work well in my truck body (2M wide x 3M long) but I'm wondering =
if there aren't larger enclosures out there. The gentlemen I spoke with =
are looking for a similar unit.=20

My intention is to have an all-weather enclosure suitable for camping, =
and easy to install/remove. I do have access to hoisting equipment, as =
long as it would be a one-man operation.=20

There are radio boxes available for the Unimog, but I've been told that =
they are heavy (~3000#) and require removal of my cargo body. Not =
exactly what I had in mind for convenience.=20

Does anyone have any ideas, or leads to the AN enclosure? I'm trying to =
stay the thrift route, otherwise I would just buy a 5th wheel and be =
done with it.=20

Thanks in advance!
