About three weeks ago my family took a trip to Yellowstone since last summer my grandmother was so enthusiastic about making us go that she booked her timeshare in Yellowstone before telling us. At first my dad was unconvinced because the past three years we've gone to Hawaii but then he came round and did tons of research on the park and found it to be quite pleasurable. So there we were in Yellowstone driving (painfully slowly cuz its my dad) in our 2014 rental Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with him enjoying the geothermal features, my brother enjoying the mudpots, my grandmother enjoying the nature, my mom enjoying the peace and quiet in the car, and me enjoying all the random campers and cars that end up there from all over the world. Here's some that I saw.

A (slightly) raised Mercedes Sprinter (the one I saw had less equipment and was beige) from Europe (probably Germany).

A Hymer Transit-based motorhome (this one freaked me out in terms of awe and excitement...so weird to see one here…)

A BMW Vixen! This was the first one I have seen in the wild (literally!) and was wearing odd Walmart wheel covers...at least they were aligned properly….

An X-Trail, cuz no trip with foreign vehicle sightings is complete without one…

And finally, back in Salt Lake City, we saw a Yellow Bimobil Sprinter, compete with german plates and a huge front placard announcing (what I assumed to be) their city of origin, since it was a German city of some sort (I forgot…)

That's all that I can remember seeing, and nothing else was very noticeably out of place in yellowstone as these vehicles were...of course, if this was Europe, we'd have a much more varied selection of motorcoaches instead of the normal MCI, Prevost, and rare Setras and Volvos running around, but that's a story for another time.

Is this a radar dome? Storm chasing vehicle or owner being really keen airplane enthusiast? I'm quite sure that a radar wouldn't be legal in a ground vehicle in Finland.
