Truck Chassis Motorhome
A truck chassis motorhome is made for travel that goes beyond smooth roads and easy campsites. You get a strong foundation, generous payload, and a living module designed for years of real use. At Twiga Travelcars, the focus is confident, worry-free adventure with smart engineering, a layout that fits how you travel, and choices that help prevent issues far from home.
Truck Chassis Motorhome built by Twiga Travelcars
Twiga Travelcars designs and builds custom camper units and complete overland vehicles on a truck platform. Our approach is practical and personal. The goal is to make adventurous travel achievable, affordable, dependable, and safe, while building long-term relationships with people we prefer to call friends.
What you can expect:
Beyond the Beaten Track
A truck chassis brings stability, load capacity, and capability when conditions get rough. That is why routes on gravel, corrugated tracks, mountain passes, and remote trails become more realistic. A truck chassis motorhome is built to keep moving when the surface changes and the map turns into a challenge.

What our ambassadors say about us
“With Twiga Travelcars, we turned our dream of the perfect expedition vehicle into reality. Through passion, expertise, and true collaboration, they created a home on wheels that takes us to the most remote corners of the world. Twiga is more than a vehicle builder — they are a true partner.”
“We have a lot of appreciation regarding the course of acquiring and building our expedition truck. The quality of the final product and service after delivery was outstanding. However, best of all was the personal relationship with the entire Twiga team during and after the build.”
“The quality, devotion and family-like approach from Twiga made the difference for us. We’ve kept their business card as a symbol of our collaboration and similarities.”
“Because the subframe is incorporated in the floor, the total height of our truck is 3,58m. That is an amazing achievement for a truck with such high suspension travel and large tires. Hats off to Twiga!”
“Such a building process is very special. You talk about wishes and needs for the vehicle, see each other every once in a while, and that’s when we saw that we were actually being heard. Our expertise was only appreciated. Our role as ‘customer’ changed into that of ambassadors.”
Comfort Without Compromise
Truck-based does not mean stripped down. The extra space and payload allow comfort that holds up over time, without pushing everything to the edge.
As a true motorhome on truck a chassis, Project 128 shows what that can look like. It features a 7.00-meter Twiga camper unit on a MAN TGS 28.520 with 60 mm high-performance insulation panels. Inside you will find a spacious lounge that converts into an extra bed, a fully equipped L-shaped kitchen, a 360-liter fridge-freezer, and a generous bathroom with a rain shower and a Clesana toilet. Off-grid living is supported by a 1216 Ah lithium system, a roof fully covered in solar panels, plus convector heating and underfloor heating with continuous hot water.
Truck Chassis Motorhomes We’ve Built Before
Twiga shares a broad selection of completed builds to show what’s possible with a truck chassis motorhome. You can see how layout decisions, body height, tyres and suspension, materials and finish level shape the final vehicle. The differences are clear, because they come from real builds made for real travel.
On the projects page, finished vehicles are listed in a clean overview with project numbers. It’s an easy way to compare, gather ideas, and spot solutions that match your style of travel.

Fleur and Michael’s Adventure
Fleur and Michael’s ambassador story captures how many Twiga journeys begin. A pull toward mountains, wild camping, and self-reliant travel, plus a vehicle that earns a name because it becomes part of the story. Their journey shows how plans evolve and how the right vehicle can grow with them, including their truck “Manfred”.
Which Truck is the Right Base?
The base vehicle influences handling, comfort, payload, and serviceability. That’s why the decision should not be driven by a brandname alone. What matters is the match between your route, your weight plan, and the way you want to use the vehicle.
Twiga builds on proven platforms from brands such as MAN, Iveco, and Mercedes-Benz, but are not tied to one manufacturer. A Twiga unit can be fitted to almost any suitable base truck, as long as the chassis and specifications support the end goal: A truck chassis motorhome ready for long expeditions and demanding terrain.
A highway-heavy trip calls for different choices than sand, steep climbs, mud, or long stretches of washboard. We begin with your real travel plans and translate them into the right chassis setup.
Wheelbase, turning circle, ground clearance, and rear overhang determine how the vehicle behaves on tight roads and in rough terrain. More living space is valuable, but only when the proportions still work for the way you travel. A well-balanced truck chassis motorhome feels calmer, safer, and more capable.
Expedition travel adds weight quickly. Water, fuel, batteries, spares, tools, and interior fittings all add up. We design around legal and technical limits and keep a healthy buffer, so the vehicle remains stable and safe instead of running at maximum capacity.
Twiga Travelcars helps build your dream journey
Every build starts with a conversation about your trip. Where you want to go, how long you’ll be away, who is travelling with you, and what comfort means to you. From there, we design and build a truck chassis motorhome that is dependable, safe, and made to last.
Our approach stays practical and personal. The vehicle needs to fit both the destination and the budget, while protecting what matters most on the road: reliability, safety, and ease of use. And support continues after handover, because the real journey begins once the kilometres start counting.
