[34] Stuck in the salt lake / Rescue of our allwheel truck with MAN KAT 8x8 / Offroad camper Tunisia 

Outch! After 15 beautiful kilometers on a track at the edge of the salt lake Chott el-Jérid, one rear wheel suddenly disappears in the salt lake mud. All of our trials to recover our offroad camper Magirus Deutz 170D11 fail and we have to abandon the truck and move into a hotel. The hotel also hosts the recovery team of the Fenix rally (fenix-rally.com/). This great team agrees to help us out! If they would have known that there would be quite some action involved!!!
The team aproaches our truck with one KAT 8x8 and one KAT 4x4, which proved to be a good idea as the 8x8 got stuck in a mud hole, which was left by a stuck wheel loader earlier. But the KATs recovered each other with in total 1200hp and great driver performance!
The recovery of our allwheel drive camper "Womi-Omi" was easy then as the 8x8 is equipped with a roll-on/roll-off container system.
Thank you so much, FENIX RECOVERY TEAM!!!
Also many thanks to Christian, host of "Benny goes overland" (www.benny-goes-overland.com)
Background:
We travel with our 3 children (4, 5 and 8 years) in our self made camper, which we call Womi-Omi (translates Camper-Granni), one year through Europe and hopefully beyond. The offroad truck (Magirus Deutz 170D11) from 1974 was a fire truck in its former life. Now it is our home for one year, call it parental leave, sabbatical or midlife crisis.
We take time for our children, to show them the small and bigger things that might be useful for their further life.
Therefore we want to travel to foreign countries, which we discover with our expedition vehicle as often as possible on unimproved roads or tracks. Often we find remote places to stay and to enjoy nature.
Good to have you with us when we share our everyday camper life and our greatest adventures!
