An Australian family of eight is traveling around the wilds of Australia in a veritable mansion on wheels.
The family, who prefers to remain anonymous, contacted Australia's leading luxury expedition vehicle manufacturer, SLRV , a year and a half ago about designing a camper that would allow them explore the country's most remote regions for months on end, SLRV cofounder Warwick Boswerger told Business Insider.
