The "HUSKY ON TOUR 2021-2033" expedition starts in June 2021 with the famous "Cape To Cape Tour" from the Norwegian North Cape to the southernmost point of Africa - the Cape of Good Hope. Including a stopover on Iceland in spring and summer 2022. The 70,000 km long first stage takes us in four years from Scandinavia via Iceland - Germany, Austria and the Balkans to the Middle East and further via the East African route to the southern tip of Africa.
As early as 1984, the first original ACTION MOBIL with elevating roof was built in Austria. For well over 37 years, this type of cabin has been popular and has proved to be a great success on all kinds of world trips. Reasons for choosing a world-trip motor home with elevating roof are, amongst others, the low construction height and security against burglary with the roof in lowered position.
The Action Mobil-Trio PURE 4500 HB – and twice – ATACAMA 6000 on the way to the Arctic Circle.
The chassis of the ATACAMA 6300, in which we are on tour here, has been optimized in some respects and we are testing it now. Technical innovations have been developed for improving the driving behaviour with regard to short and deep bumps.
A three-point suspension of the sub-frame allows for an optimum axle articulation in off-road terrain. Innovative damping elements are to reduce the pendular movement of the vehicle body. Test results and our experience during the journey will be reported in Part 3.
The founders of ACTION MOBIL as well as the present managers are enthusiastic globetrotters. In the end of 2016 they put the new Atacama 6300 to a test drive in the rough terrain of the Kaokoveld in Namibia. Otti Reitz produced a documentary about this test trip and included material of driving in dry and wet riverbeds, mastering narrow passages and extreme ground formations and close encouters with the famous Desert Elephants of Namibia.
The video gives an overview of the second part of the ACTION MOBIL founders and CEOs test drive with the Atcama motor home in the wilderness of Namibia - from the coastal fog along the Skeleton Coast to the Purros Canyon, the green river oasis in the HOARUSIB.
The new video, produced by Otti Reitz, follows the ACTION MOBIL ATACAMA 6300 through the rough wilderness of the north-western part of Namibia: the isolated Damaraland. The expedition leads through the narrow Khowarib gorge, down the Ombonde river bed with its deep sand and "deep dust" passages and into the wonderfull "Little Serengeti".
…we have looked for new challenges: Dense bush, deep sand and extreme dust!
Test route: dry riverbeds: OMBONDE and KHOWARIB in the Northwest of Namibia. For safety reasons we recommend to drive these routes always in a convoy!
The elegant 4x4 motor home Atacama 5800, with its solid construction and comfortable interior design, is ready for the worlds largest 4x4 show and cross-country expo in Bad Kissingen. We are presenting our newest state-of-the-art all-wheel motor home at the "Abenteuer Allrad" from 15 June - 18 June 2017. Before the show we have some insights and pictures for you.
A client was kind enough to lend us the ACTION MOBIL ATACAMA 6300 to carry out this test drive. It is a rare sign of trust for which the Management wishes to express a big thank you.
The objective of this test drive was to gather technical data and to find out how the vehicle behaves off-road under difficult conditions. Before setting off, technical devices for chassis optimization were installed at our plant.
