I don’t think it tilts. The rest of the body appears to be permanently attached to the cab. More likely they have cut a hole in the floor for engine access. God knows what happens if the engine needs to come out.

I think it may be a rear or mid engined bus/coach chassis.

Air intake stack’s in the usual place. Whatever they have done, it’s cost a lot more than putting windows in a boxvan body, and achieved little more than that.

Here is another one that somebody has put a lot of work into. Again, it looks like the cab doesn’t tilt although the engine might be behind the rear axle. Known in the RV trade as a diesel pusher.

Perhaps the entire body tilts with the cab Imagine the mechanic coming to you by the road side, “Do us a favour drive, just move any loose stuff before I tilt the cab”. Three hours later…

The same way we removed the engines from some BMC 7 ton integral vans: front axle removed and drag it out from below.

I’ve always had a huge soft spot for those early F12 globetrotters. The most handsome looking lorry ever in my opinion.
