The expedition camper Rudin Genesis debuts at the Camping & Caravaning Expo in Plovdiv on October 10 and 11

Visitors to the autumn edition of the Camping & Caravaning Expo will see for the first time the impressive autonomous camper, built on an off-road chassis from an IVECO 4×4 fire truck, featuring a rooftop terrace, 10 kWh batteries, and weeks of autonomy in the wild.

Fans of expedition travel and off-road adventures have a serious reason to visit the Camping & Caravaning Expo in Plovdiv on October 10 and 11. The forum will host the official premiere of the Rudin Genesis 4×4 (RG Genesis) — a unique expedition camper designed to provide absolute independence and comfort far from standard asphalt roads and camping infrastructure.

Under the motto "Explore Without Limits / More Views. Less Limits", the vehicle impresses with both its scale and off-road capabilities, as well as the intelligent planning of its living space.

From a fire truck to an uncompromising expedition vehicle

At the core of the Rudin Genesis lies the proven specialized heavy-duty IVECO FF95EW 4×4 (EuroFire / Magirus) chassis, which originally served as a fire vehicle in Germany. The sturdiness of the platform has been preserved, but it has undergone a complete transformation.

A key engineering element in the project is the specially constructed off-road subframe that connects the chassis to the living superstructure. It allows for independent movement and absorbs torsional forces when traversing extreme terrain, protecting the living module from deformations.

The vehicle has already passed rigorous field tests, including overcoming steep off-road obstacles with a gradient of over 3.5 meters. Uncompromising traction is provided by specialized heavy-duty Continental MPT 81 (365/80 R20) off-road tires, and in critical situations, a powerful 12V electric winch with a pulling force of 13,500 lb is available.

Certified construction and finalization in Bulgaria

The living cell (measuring 451.5 × 221.5 × 256 cm) is made of thermally insulated composite GFK sandwich panels with an XPS core, combining strength, low weight, and excellent thermal insulation. It is equipped with highly durable off-road aluminum windows and protective exterior modules.

After production, the living structure underwent a detailed inspection by the international certification organization TÜV SÜD, while the final assembly, integration of complex autonomous systems, and overall off-road development were carried out in Bulgaria.

Record autonomy: Weeks of off-grid living

The Rudin Genesis is created for travelers who do not want to depend on campsites, electrical hookups, or water sources:

Solar energy: A photovoltaic system with a total power output of a massive 1,730 W, including 2 Jinko Tiger Neo N-type bifacial panels (1,010 W) and an additional group of 6 panels (720 W), managed by separate high-tech MPPT controllers.

Storage capacity: A powerful LiFePO4 battery pack with a capacity of 800 Ah (12.8 V) or over 10.24 kWh of clean energy, powering a Pure Sine Wave inverter system.

Fuel reserve: A special new 550-liter diesel tank, providing a huge autonomous range for extended expeditions.

Water resources: 300 liters of clean water (2 × 150 l), 180 liters of gray water, and a built-in reverse osmosis filtration system to guarantee drinking water quality.

A fully-fledged home: Luxury and practicality in one

Despite its rugged exterior, the interior of the Rudin Genesis offers home comfort:

Equipped kitchen: A large vertical compressor refrigerator, a Tefal electric oven, modern hotplates, and an ergonomic work surface.

Separate bathroom facilities: The bathroom and toilet are in completely separate rooms. Sanitary independence is handled by an innovative Air Head separating composting toilet, which operates without chemicals and without the standard limitations of cassette systems.

Year-round climate comfort: Diesel heating and a combined water heater, complemented by a Dometic rooftop air conditioner for the living module and an independent climate system for the driver's cab.

Long-distance extras: A compact automatic washing machine (3 kg), a 32″ Smart TV, satellite television, its own internet router, ambient LED lighting, and a 4-meter electric awning.

Rooftop terrace for unforgettable sunsets

One of the most impressive highlights of the project is the multifunctional roof. Thanks to linear electric actuators, the solar platform can transform into a panoramic rooftop terrace with folding safety railings — the perfect place to relax after a long day on the road amid the most remote corners of nature.
