I would recommend changing your transmission oil to 75/90 sun as a lot of military Unimogs were filled with single grade oil for simplicity. Also find some 395/85r20 tyres and Hutchinson rims will make a massive difference to your Unimog
Lastly when you say caravan make sure you fit a cushioned tow ball as recommended my Mercedes your Unimog has very hard suspension on the rear and can break an a frame on a caravan.
Enjoy 👍

Thanks Claran.

Purchased from auction without being able to inspect it due to all the hoopla going on at the moment. Motor Mechanic for 40 years and now in Retail selling auto parts. Plan to give it a good going over then hope to tow a caravan around Australia. If they don't open the borders by then I'll just drive straight through them! 
Hoping to get ideas, hints and tips from other members and also report on anything I find may be of help to other members.

I think the difference is clear, but the photo really doesn’t do it justice.
