The Beijing Monster is a Chinese six-metre camper built for extended off-road trips, combining a 4x4 truck chassis with accommodation for a family. Developed by Beijing Man Site Special Vehicles on a Sanjiang Watel chassis, it is powered by a 6.7-litre Dongfeng Cummins turbodiesel producing 285 hp and 1,050 Nm. The drivetrain includes a six-speed Allison automatic, low range and a rear differential lock, while air suspension and central tyre-pressure control are intended to help it adapt to changing terrain.
Its 600-litre fuel tank is designed for routes far from refuelling, although actual range will vary with load, conditions and consumption. Inside, the cab connects to the living area, which includes two 2.2-by-1.5-metre double beds, an induction hob, sink, refrigerator, shower and toilet. A washing machine, air conditioning and separate heating are also listed. The beds fold against the walls to open up the lounge area. The vehicle additionally has a declared 1,000-litre fresh-water tank, solar panels, an awning and roof storage.
The complete camper is estimated to cost 1 million to 2 million yuan, or about €130,000 to €260,000, before potential taxes and import costs. The article compares it with the Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 4023, noting that the Unimog’s base price is around €150,000 before taxes and does not include a full camper conversion. It also cautions that the available information does not establish whether the Beijing Monster’s chassis matches the Unimog’s specialised engineering or proven extreme-terrain capability.
