This project came about as a result of my passion for dentistry and my love of the outdoors. I grew up in rural Ontario and spent much of my childhood camping in the bush. Being in the working world, it’s often difficult to find the time to get back in the bush. I think I’ve found a way to combine work and play together. The result is a highly modified dental office which can go anywhere.

When I first considered building a mobile office, I looked at three vehicles. Hummer, Mercedes Unimog, and Land Rover were the most suitable for what I required. The Hummer was far too wide for narrow mush roads, and quite heavy. The Mercedes Unimog was an extremely capable vehicle, but it still was on the heavy side, and was quite complex if you ran into mechanical trouble in the field. That left the Land Rover 101 forward control. This vehicle was quite narrow (72”), and had a fairly short wheelbase (101”). It also was capable of hauling 1ton in the bed and a 1ton trailer. It is also very easy to service in the field thanks to the simplicity of the vehicle. The total weight of the vehicle is 4200lbs, which is quite light for a military personnel carrier.
