Combining a Bliss Mobil Camper and an AEV Prospector XL results in a highly capable long-range expedition rig designed for serious travel without sacrificing comfort. Available now as a preowned demo unit, this Bliss Mobil 13-Foot High-Bed Camper mounted on an AEV Prospector XL Cab Chassis is a rare fusion of American off-road engineering and European overland design.

With a Cummins-powered AEV-built chassis providing durability and range, and a Bliss Mobil camper delivering efficient, self-sufficient living, this setup is built for those who want to go further, stay longer, and travel in a vehicle that’s as functional as it is rugged.

Unlike many expedition builds that require custom fabrication and extensive lead times, this one is already sorted, road-tested, and ready for adventure.

“People often refer to the AEV Prospector XL as the American Unimog, so pairing our 13-foot Bliss Mobil module — originally designed for the Unimog — felt like a natural fit. The result has been an incredibly capable yet easy-to-drive expedition rig, and the next owner is going to love it,” said Spencer Park of Bliss Mobil USA.

AEV Prospector XL Cab Chassis

At its core, this overland rig is a Ram 5500 Cab Chassis AEV Prospector XL, a purpose-built expedition platform engineered for serious off-road exploration while maintaining factory-rated reliability and payload. AEV starts with the Ram 5500 Cab Chassis, a truck designed for commercial-grade durability. It then reworks it with a suite of off-road upgrades that enhance its capability without compromising long-term dependability.

Serious Go-Anywhere Capability

Unlike many aftermarket suspension kits that prioritize lift over function, AEV reengineers the factory suspension to ensure that ride quality, payload capacity, and stability remain intact. The 3-inch DualSport RT Suspension System is specifically designed for heavy-duty Ram trucks, improving compliance over rough terrain while preserving the truck’s ability to handle heavy loads.

Additional AEV upgrades on this build include a stamped steel front bumper with an available 16.5-ton winch, an AEV brush guard for added front-end protection, AEV driving lights for enhanced visibility in remote environments, and an AEV snorkel to keep the engine breathing clean air in deep water crossings and dusty conditions.

Powering the truck is the proven 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel. It produces 360 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque. Unlike smaller expedition rigs that rely on limited fuel capacity, the Prospector XL Cab Chassis is equipped with dual diesel fuel tanks. That’s a total of 74 gallons, providing a range of over 1,000 miles. This is a critical advantage for long-haul, remote overland travel where refueling opportunities can be scarce.

To maximize its off-road potential, AEV equips the Prospector XL Cab Chassis with 41-inch Continental MPT81 tires, which are military-grade tires designed for extreme conditions.

Still Nimble & User Friendly

Despite its heavy-duty build, the AEV Prospector XL Cab Chassis operates at only about half of its rated payload capacity when paired with this lightweight Bliss Mobil camper. This significantly reduces drivetrain stress and improves long-term reliability — compared to light-duty chassis with heavy campers.

At 24 feet in total length, this expedition camper remains surprisingly maneuverable. You can just squeeze it into a standard parking space, with only a few feet of overhang. This makes it far more practical than many larger expedition vehicles.

This combination of long-range capability, engineered durability, and serious off-road upgrades makes the AEV Prospector XL Cab Chassis one of the most capable overland platforms available today. Paired with the Bliss Mobil 13-Foot camper, it delivers a rare balance of brute strength and refined expedition living.

European overland rigs are all about efficiency, and Bliss Mobil has perfected the art of space-saving design.

Living Space

The 13-Foot High-Bed model makes the most of its compact footprint with a full-size bed that stows in the ceiling, dropping down over the dinette when it’s time to sleep. Since you’re rarely sleeping and eating at the same time, this setup allows for a larger living area without increasing the camper’s overall size.

Plus, keeping your bedding out of sight means it stays clean, neatly stored, and ready for use at a moment’s notice. The dinette with an electrically lowering table allows for comfortable dining or a remote work station.

Strategically placed storage compartments ensure that gear remains organized, accessible, and secure.

Every detail, from the insulated composite walls to the integrated climate control system, which includes air conditioning and a diesel-powered furnace, is engineered for all-season travel. This allows you to stay comfortable whether you’re deep in the desert or braving Arctic conditions.

Camper Systems

Despite the camper’s compact size, the rear wet bath is one of the largest in its class. It offers more space than many full-size expedition vehicles. And, with a 120-gallon freshwater tank, a 40-gallon grey water tank, and a 48-gallon black water tank, this camper is ready for long stints off-grid.

Power comes from a 10kWh 24V lithium battery system, backed by 1,000 W of roof-mounted solar panels. This ensures that essential systems like refrigeration, lighting, and the all-in-one washer and dryer can run independently without relying on shore power or a generator.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a diesel cooktop, composite countertops, and ample storage for food and provisions. This makes meal prep easy no matter how far off the grid you are.

Transferable Camper Box

One of Bliss Mobil’s biggest advantages is modularity. Unlike traditional expedition campers that are permanently fixed to a specific truck, this unit can be transferred to another chassis in the future. If you plan to put heavy miles on the AEV Prospector XL Chassis, you’re not locked into that platform forever, as this camper size is also compatible with other heavy-duty chassis.

A Ready-to-Explore Pre-Owned Demo Unit

This Bliss Mobil 13-Foot High-Bed Type 4 is a pre-owned demo unit, meaning it has already been road-tested and meticulously maintained. Unlike a factory-new build, which could take months to deliver, this rig is turnkey and ready to hit the road less traveled today.

The asking price for this unit is $425,000, plus applicable taxes. For those looking to step into the world of halo expedition vehicles, this is a rare chance to own a fully sorted rig at a discount and without the wait.
