The Atkinson Vos Signature Series comprises well engineered torsion free subframes and camper boxes which like the Unimog are robust and off road capable but lightweight as we understand that every kilogram counts.
Your expedition vehicle’s habitation box is more than just a structure—it’s your home on the road. That’s why we’ve engineered our composite habitation boxes to withstand the toughest environments while keeping you comfortable, no matter where your adventures take you.
Our high-strength composite GRP and XPS foam panels are completely free from metal framing, eliminating cold bridges and maximizing insulation. This keeps the interior warm in winter, cool in summer, and free from condensation buildup—crucial for long-term off-grid travel.
Unlike standard composite panels, our design has been specifically optimised for expedition vehicles, ensuring unmatched durability in extreme conditions. The woven GRP inner and outer skins provide superior impact resistance, protecting your vehicle from the inevitable knocks and scrapes of overland travel. Meanwhile, our staggered dual-layer XPS foam core eliminates weak and cold points, offering exceptional structural integrity and thermal efficiency.
Our walls are 64mm thick, with an 84mm reinforced floor, striking the perfect balance between insulation, strength, and weight.
With our habitation boxes, you get the best of all worlds: lightweight strength, exceptional insulation, and the rugged durability needed for serious adventure.
The connection to the subframe is achieved using innovative GRP bolts with recessed spreader plates, minimizing intrusion into your living space. These bolts conduct heat 100 times less than steel, ensuring a completely cold-bridge-free structure—something metal-framed alternatives simply can’t offer whilst providing a strong connection.
A strong, reliable subframe is the foundation of any expedition vehicle—and ours are the best in the business. Developed through years of real-world experience and computer simulations, our subframes are designed to protect your habitation box while preserving the Unimog’s legendary off-road performance.
Using the original Mercedes mounting points, we employ a 4-point torsion-free system that eliminates excessive stress on the habitation box, preventing damage from chassis articulation and ensuring a longer lifespan. This allows the chassis to flex as Mercedes intended while keeping your living space secure. The design also enables the integration of a pass through, providing easy access between the cab and habitation box.
Our subframes are built to fully support our composite habitation boxes without the need for any internal metal framework. Additionally, the lightweight design lowers the vehicle’s centre of gravity, improving on-road handling and reducing body roll in extreme off-road conditions.
For those seeking the ultimate in durability, we also offer a premium stainless steel subframe option. Designed to withstand the harshest environments, it offers unparalleled resistance to corrosion, ensuring your vehicle remains expedition-ready for years to come.
Our expertly designed and fabricated subframes offer complete peace of mind—wherever the road takes you.
Take your expedition vehicle to the next level with our wide range of accessories tailored to Unimogs and Expedition Vehicles.
The most common requests from new Unimog owners are to enhance cruising ability and to improve comfort in the cab.
Larger tyres, faster crownwheel & pinion, faster hub gears and gearbox upgrades all provide worthwhile increases in overall transmission ratio. The optimum solution depends on the base vehicle.
We can provide a full suite of measures to improve cab refinement including air-suspension seats, sound deadening, engine blankets and if all else fails a stereo and speakers!
Long range diesel tanks are also a popular option to increase range whilst our amazing LED headlight kit lights up the road for safety in all conditions.
Whether you're tackling remote terrain, optimizing storage, or adding crucial off-road capabilities, we’ve got you covered with our range of optional extras designed specifically for the Signature Series suframes and boxes but we can also offer custom accessories for any expedition truck.
We recommend Outbound windows, doors and hatches. Their products not only look great but are thoughtfully designed and well-engineered too.
The windows feature double glazed tempered glass. All products have a robust GRP (fibreglass) frame which prevents cold bridging.
They offer the best ratio of quality to price on the market and coupled with their wide range of products this makes them the number one choice for a quality expedition vehicle build.
