An Australian family of 8 commissioned an 8-wheel, double-decker luxury camper to explore Australia's most remote regions.

An Australian family of eight commissioned one the largest campers in the world in order to explore Australia's most remote regions for months at a time.
Designed by Australian luxury expedition vehicle manufacturer SLRV , it serves as a fully functioning house on wheels.
Dubbed the Commander 8x8 , the vehicle is 40 feet long, two stories tall, and can sleep up to 10 people.
SLRV did not disclose the final cost of the camper but previously estimated that the price would fall between $670,000 and $1,370,000.

Boswerger and his team designed atwo-story, 40-foot long camper van that New Atlas describes as "apocalypse-grade" and ranks among the largest expedition vehicles in the world. Take a look inside:
