That was fun to watch. Awesome build!! Look forward to the adventures ahead.
Thank you!
I would love to buy a 2500 or 3500 Ram Cummins diesel...the price of just the truck alone is insane.
Right? Especially right now. I’m seeing stories of guys selling 2-3 year old Cummins trucks for more than they paid for them 40k miles later. It’s nuts.
@@overlandv10 It's depressing...
If you rent buy a trailer and live rv life. Use rent money u paid prior to afford truck and trailer u now own
Hey buddy
It's really not that bad if you get a 30 year loan, and sell astroglide on the side ..... thats what I did to get my 87 civic......
Loll when you said Philly Wuder. I get that
I approve of the choice of Cyclocross bikes in the background. :) Also, very nice, clean, serviceable build.
Thank you! Love our Boone’s!
Bad ass Rig !!!!
Thank you! We agree!
Time to get that Banks rear differential cover!
Thankyou for giving an honest estimate of the cost involved not many people do. It gives people watching a reality check about the cost of doing things properly
Thank you. Yeah you'd be surprised how many people walk up to me while I'm pumping fuel or something and say something along the lines of "That thing is awesome! What did it cost? $90k?" I usually just politely say, "No, a bit more", lol.
Adrian, reality is doing your own damn research for parts and cost.
Parts change prices all the time, no need for them to give cost. Its irrelevant!
Its one of those things- If u have to ask how much it cost, you CANNOT afford it!
So dont worry about it
Amazing great choices.
Thank you
Totally upgraded $$$$ love the truck and camper combo although to rich 4 me ...... I have the 2020 palomino 1251 model sink fridge shower huge queen bed on my 2017 nissan titan xd 4x4 love getting off the beaten path where limited vehicles can get tooooo :)
Thank you. We like Nissan builds too!
Awesome unit 💪🏻👍
Thank you!
GREAT price if you compare this to the current sprinter options and other exped vehicles. Thank you for sharing!!
Totally agree! Thanks for checking it out.
I was gonna go a very similar route with my HD ramp but ultimately weve decided purchase an imperial outdoors xplore RV trailer. Primarily because A) we wanna stay off grid up to a month at a time so space and water were priorities B) going into out of town for something will be a lot easier if we drop trailer
C) the superior insulation values make it 4 season full time liveable
We have placed a deposit on that and ultimately we decided to with with an “off the shelf” junkyard flatbed and modify it to suit our needs.
For the lift we have ordered carli ultimate.
For fenders we are doing big AEV conversion along with AEV cattle guard style front bumper & winch.
I got a smoking deal custom ordering my Ram so ~ $62k out the door (rented a place in montana to skip sales tax in all this shit lol)
$74k for trailer
Lift 40s method wheeks and bumpers
$12k
Labor $free.99 (me)
$146k
Net price will be lower with some creative tax work.
While we do lose the convenience of one single vehicle,
Sounds like it is going to be an awesome set up! We love our set up but for long term off the grid water becomes and issue and even more so if you want to shower at all. Summer heat can be a problem too but we generally try to chase the weather as much as we are able to make it not as much of an issue.
@@overlandv10 really enjoying your videos!
@@mattbrew11 thank you. We appreciate that!
wonder what is cost of it ? 200 K I wonder if it was easy to buy van from sportmobile ? Overlanding went nuts with cost, almost yacht price just to go weekend and two weeks vacation
Fantastic and informative video, thx! Off topic but are you guys in Richmond, by chance? Noticed the Carytown Bikes shirt. 😊👍
Thank you! Yes, well not anymore but we are from VA and lived in Richmond for a lot of our time there. We moved out to UT a bit over a year ago though. Certainly miss Richmond and our friends there, but we are also loving having so much to explore so close by now being out west.
@@overlandv10 haha, I figured that out after I got to the end of the video. 😄 Great to hear you're enjoying Utah! I've been to Colorado and can certainly understand and appreciate the openness out West. 👍👍
Colorado is beautiful too! Have been through there a few times but still tons we haven't seen yet.
“One can only dream”
What an awesome build good job! One of the top flatbed Hawks that I have seen. We pick our hawk up same color on Thursday this week. Can't wait. It will be more of what I would call a base camp overlander. But anybody that's either thinking about getting one or has one on order should watch everybody else's build that you can find because you can always gleam something off of them. Thanks for doing the video now go out explore adventure with that wonderful beast you built!
Thank you! We watch a ton of RUclips and enjoy being able to give back to the community in some small way. Awesome on your hawk! I hope you love it as much as we love ours.
@@overlandv10 well now that I think about it after watching a few of your videos you really don't need a whole lot of help or opinions or suggestions just keep doing what you're doing. I had to laugh when you said Pete told you it was no big deal about the awning. He was our salesman too. You two are awesome thank you again for sharing!
@@deeproamer2431 lol yeah Pete is a character but they are good folks over there as you already know!
8 pin towing connector!?! hot damm! i need one of those what are all the wires for? where do i get one?
Keep it simple he says with a pocket full of cash!
after watching this video I feel broke lol
Awesome build; how did you wire the BD light bar that mounted to the FWC? Is is mounted directly to the underside of the camper? And is it wired to your truck battery or the camper wiring?? Did FWC mount that or was that “aftermarket” to the camper? Very interested in doing this to mine.
Thank you! Yes the 50” BD light is bolted to the bottom of the camper overhang and is wired to the truck power system / battery via the SPOD. It was mounted after market by MLO.
Trust Me , I know ....... but how can you put a price tag on the endless life experiences it provides ~peace~
100% agree!
Is bed north/south or East/west?
It can go either way depending on if you want to pull the extension out or not.
Tire straps changed for blue to black
Hey Ov1.0,
Wow, that’s a dream rig!
Have you tried to jack the truck up from the sliders as Pete mentioned? It was my understanding that sliders are designed for light duty vehicles (half-ton and lower). I would be hesitant to agree that the weight of the truck can be supported with those sliders, especially after the mods done to them to make them fit (longer arms to attach to frame). It’s usually why I never see sliders on an HD truck; they can't support that kind of weight.
It would be amazing video if you showed the truck being supported by those sliders!
thx! We are very much enjoying it. I have not tried to jack up the truck from the sliders yet. They are white knuckle sliders. While they were modified by MLO to fit this truck, they are made for HD 2500/3500 trucks by white knuckle. The modification was because they make them for the 4 door 2500/3500 vs the 2 door 2500/3500. I'm sure I will have it on the sliders at some point though and will be sure to post it up when we do. Thx again!
might have been a really nice video but there are to many people in the video. some nice advice...when doing a video on a high speed vehicle leave the humans out of the picture. nice build though.
Appreciate the feedback. We are always learning and doing what we can to improve. Thanks for checking it out.
Hi Fantastic Jc
Thank you!
Needs better step set up. I can see many accidents getting in and out of this dream camper!
Maybe in a few more years, but for not climbing on the tire seems to work lol. We do now have a small step ladder we put out at times to though.
Just going to drool over your rig until we get ours. Did you get both maxx air fans or is one the fan and the other a vent? We just did one fan, but I’m curious how that’s working for you as far as temperature control with two fans (if that’s what you got) thanks!
We got both of them. I spent about 3 hours in the rig a couple of days ago in 105 degree heat and having one fan draw air in and the other pull it out was almost as good as AC. I only had two of the windows open as well. I’m sure it would have been even better with all of them open. The other nice thing we are finding is when cooking it does a good job of pulling the “smoke” out over the stove but we also like a fan to blow on us while sleeping so having both powered allowed both of those things to happen.
Thanks for this! Good to know. Our order is already in, but might try and see if we can add the additional fan; sounds like a game changer to have both. I like that you can really control the temperature. If it was 105, which I believe since it was hot in SLC, then that’s a damn good test!
@@alisac8845 I’m pretty sure you can change it to a point. There just might be a small change fee. Based on my experience I’d for sure put in on the list of must haves if you are able.
They do charge a fee for any changes. I appreciate your feedback - super helpful, thanks!
Love it, love it, love it!!!
In this year the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party #CCP, thrilled to tell everyone that Ram is now partly owned by Dongfeng of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 🇨🇳
Thank you lol
Is that a Big Horn? Why did you choose a Diesel over the Hemi?
Yes it is a Big Horn (or Lone Star if you buy it in TX). Went diesel because I didn’t want to ever struggle with feeling like it was under powered. I know the Hemi has plenty of power too, but the torque the Cummins has isn’t even in the same league compared to the Hemi. Time will tell but I also hope the longevity of the Cummins makes it worth the extra expense.
@@overlandv10 Yeah, all valid points I didn't consider. Seems more fuel efficient also not to mention diesel fuel is less than Gasoline now. I was concerned about weight but I agree with your points.
@@TheUnorthodoxx have just over 4000 miles on it currently and the mpg has been averaging around 11-12 in mixed driving. But our hwy speeds are 80 mph. If we were more 60-65 I think we could be doing more like 13-14. I don’t think it’s that bad as heavy as we are.
Is any of the water filtered for drinking?
It doesn’t have filtration built in, but we only put potable water in it.
Loved your build , just ordered a hawk flatbed bed, my truck also the 8 foot bed. How much room do you have between the front of camper and the headache rack? Where the tunnel box is. My figures is 20 inches x 40 inches tall? Thanks for any help!!
Just seeing this comment. Sorry about that, but you reached out on IG right / got it answered? I feel like I had this same discussion with someone over there.
Never heard "tray" before, heard flatbed for ever. what's the difference?
No idea lol. I’ve also head them called both but generally speaking for some reason everyone I know calls them trays.
@@overlandv10 it's Australian to call a flatbed a tray. Must be some wannabee or actual Australian's in your group or cultural appropriation as the kids like to through that shit around left and right these days.
You had me till about 6:00 in when y’all called them steps sliders… lol moving on. Coming from a rock crawler those are steps! Climb some stair steps on a trail and you will see very quickly, I mean if you’re really going overlanding.
They are white knuckle sliders and do support the weight of the truck, but yes it isn't intended to be a hard core rock crawling rig. It is capable for a camper, but not nearly the rock buggy a nice Jeep build can be. Overlanding is a broad term that has different meanings to different people. I think the term you are looking for is "rocklander".
One arm
Nice truck! Oh, to be so simple to have truck tire size keep me up at night. Boys and their toys. Keep up trucking! 🛻
Thank you!
If I built this I would have to literally spent every single day for the next 5 years inside of this to make it feel worth it lmao.
If life allowed we would definitely be camping every day!
$$$
What was the build cost?
31:24
I'm only short about 190k 🥴
From the side, the truck looks like you're selling silver padlocks. lol
Haha, maybe a side business we need to take up!
Wow what a tank. Awesome build.
Thank you!
I'd rather look at the truck while you guys are talking than you guys.
Had you considered the Sportsmobile Classic 4x4? Fully loaded it is around the same cost, but you could also spec cheaper. You mentioned other more expensive alternatives. I am just curious as to this choice. Do you tow and need the extra towing capacity? What led you to this setup versus other options?
I do like the classic sportsmobile also. If I had unlimited funds I’d probably have one of those also. But I love the look of these regularcab flatbeds so that played into the decision I made. I also wanted the shorter wheelbase. No plans currently to tow but we have kicked around the idea of flat towing the Jeep at some point in the future and using the camper as base camp to run some of the stuff the flatbed won’t fit down.
Awesome Build Rob & Avis!!!! Well done!
Thank you!
Was curious if you have the HO cummins and also are you running a locker or just have the option to control it later. I though I've been reading theres no lockers on the Ho yet.
It is not the HO, just the standard cummins. I wasn’t aware of any locker options from the factory for either option other than I know you can order the power wagon package on some of the crew cabs. But maybe that is wrong? We installed ARB front and rear air lockers to get the lockers in it.
Nice Rig!!
Thank you!
fucking epic
Thank you
What is the cost for something like this?
Hi There! About $230K if you wanted to copy it exactly. We have a video we did a few months ago that breaks down in detail if you wanted to see how it all breaks down. ruclips.net/video/J1hedZ6ci0U/видео.html
@@overlandv10 I just watched your video. That is crazy. I was at Huntington Beach Jeep today, they had a truck like yours. All the new 2023 trucks are starting in the $119,000 range.
@@OffRoadOverlandCamping wow. That’s some high prices!
👍💪💯✔️👏👌⭐😍🇺🇲
Thank you
Wonder what the cost is to insure that thing. 200k dang
It isn’t as bad as you might think. The camper is insured separately from the truck for about $500 a year.
6mpg? Not bad!
If I drive easy and keep it around 60-65 I’ve actually been getting closer to 13-14mpg. But as soon as we get out onto the 80mph interstates it drops down to the 10-11mpg range.
Can you and others tell me you thought process for picking a Ram. We want to chose a truck for our slide on hawk and would love your views on why you went with the Ram. We are leaning towards the ford f250 and no diesel. It will be our everyday vechie as well. Were in south florida. I know all the different specs from reading Facebook and watching videos but I would a non bias opinion
Sure! I think it mostly came down to looks and aftermarket support. Have always had a thing for the way the RAM looks over the other full size options and there are a few more options in the aftermarket for them when it comes to building them up. As far as the diesel option I didn’t want it to struggle in the least to carry the load and with the 850 torque numbers the Cummins has it was an easy choice. When we are fully loaded up with water and fuel and fully packed out bikes and all, we are just under GVWR (another reason we went 3500 with air assist vs 2500) meaning this rig will spend its whole life near max payload which isn’t a big deal for the diesel. The diesel should get better MPG than the gas option too which will add up over all the miles it is driven. Of course that is dependent on diesel prices staying close to gas prices.
Hope you don't mind me stepping in here. Before you choose your truck, you need to figure out how much weight capacity you need. For example, if your 4wheel camper weighs 1500 lbs. + water + gas+ all other stuff, etc... Figure out what you will carry in the truck and how much it all weighs, then you will have a better idea for truck type. I find most people need the capacity of a 1 ton because most people get a crew cab P/U with a few options and these pick ups weigh a lot and don't have enough capacity for weight carrying, even in the 250/2500 series of trucks. For example, a typical high trim F250 4x4 crew cab can top out 2800 lbs or there abouts. Not alot of capacity. You don't want to spend all that money for a truck that will be used close to its max payload capacity. Different brands of truck, well this is very political for most folks. Since you stated you did not want a diesel, I would consider a truck with a more conventional 8 cylinder build and stay away from turbo charged vehicles for better reliability over the long term. Another reason for this is turbo charged engines typically make the power at the higher RPM range or faster speeds and towing or camping with a loaded up truck is better to have the power at lower speeds and RPMs. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck!
@@3920cruz don’t mind at all.great thoughts and feedback. Thank you
Very nice looking rig and build! We have a 2020 Hawk FB on our older 06 f350 and are loving it. If you go Carli you'll be happy. Lead times though lol... We're running their 4.5" Pintop system on 37" stt pros and it's been so nice on long 4+ hour dirt runs. We're able to roll along faster in more comfort. Not sure how cold of temps you're getting into, but we reconfigured our water system so it can be gravity drained anywhere. Pretty handy when driving thru changing climates. Built it out of 1/2" sch 40 pvc so we can source parts anywhere. You may be able to get your batteries into the same cabinet as your hot and cold water manifolds to free up that dinette storage as well as the old battery box. We are also running a Chinese diesel heater that's been awesome. It landed in the cabinet with the hot and cold water manifolds. We're looking forward to ditching our 3way energy Hoover of a frig. Love your frig by the way! We've done our build on a budget and still are ha! But it's going good. Enjoy your travels and stay stoked you two! 🤙🏻😁
Thank you and for all the good information. I’m curious how you set up the gravity drain. That sounds like a great mod for going up and down in elevation! And yeah we are running the AEV kit but have some Carli goodies on order. Just a long lead time as you said.
@@overlandv10 glad to help if we can. If you get curious about the gravity drain, look me up on FB. I can share how we ran ours to see if it's something you'd like to try out. 🤙🏻
@@jaysmallen3067 thank you. Once we get the camper repaired I think I would for sure like to find that out from you.
Super cool!! I have a similar build. I have also had one on a factory PXL on 40's and will tell you, you made a good decision on skipping them. The 40's put the center of gravity up pretty high....37's too but 40"s that much more. When you think that alll your weight is siting 12-14 inches above the top of your tires it gives you a pucker on big lean angles. :). Two other things....3 Battle borns will fit in the battery box, how come the 3rd in the rear? You need to remove the black spacers but they fit. Last thing is if you don't know it already, the rear tires are likely gunna bottom out in your rear fenders. You might need to move the front boxes up and your back boxes back to make room for full articulation of the rear wheels. My current build wasn't as close as yours are and still rubbed. I have the Norweld fenders and just centered them and im good to go.. Really bad ass build!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us!! I hop to se you out on the road!!!
Thanks Sean! I’m pretty sure I know your new and old rig. You had the road give way / the roll over in you PXL right? If so that was crazy and glad you survived it! And yeah now that I’m living with the 37’s and having had in the dirt a bit I’m perfectly happy not being on 40’s. I’m not sure why MLO didn’t put the 3rd battery in the box as I thought it would fit there also on other builds I’ve seen, but it hasn’t been a huge issue yet where it is. We have just been keeping bedding in there with it and haven’t missed the space it’s taking up so far. We haven’t had any rear rubbing that I’m aware of so far but I may not have gotten it flexed out enough to rub at this point, but we did have some front rub on the 13.5’s we are running and have done some additional trimming and such to mitigate it. Appreciate all the info and hopefully we will get the opportunity to meet in person at some point at one of the events if you attend any.
@@overlandv10 Yup that’s me with the rolled PXL. The new build is on Carli and 35’s. Love love love the Carli and i feel way more comfy a bit lower to the ground! Loved the AEV too but our trucks benefit from a reservoir shock for sure!!! They still get too hot to touch after rolling hard for an hour on a dirt road. I’ll be at the coffee and rigs thing at FourWheel camper Woodland next weekend and expo West too! Hope to bump into ya!
@@2Dawoods I’ve heard lots of good about the Carli. We actually have some upgrades on order for our set up along those lines but as you know the lead time on everything is nuts. We plan to be at west and hopefully camping with the FWC group so we should definitely see you there, but I need to get the camper fixed first. We damaged it this past weekend in Moab (video about to release showing how that happened).
An every man vehicle 🤣
Nice Build...🙄
what kind of bracket is that for the bantam unit in the engine bay?
It was a custom bracket Main Line Overland made for it.
Just finished the video and saw the price🤙🏻
Yeah we snuck it in there at the end. Glad you found it!
What is the price?
@@runnercamper towards the end of the video I talked a bit about that, but the short answer is about $200k if you were to copy it.
@@overlandv10 wow 👏 and you have a beast. I love the black tray. Ours will be its little sister
@@Gmaillorraine the tray being powder coated was one of my favorite things even though it was a bit pricey. I think it goes a long way towards pulling the look of it together.
Love this!! #goals
Thank you!
Any ideas for cooling on a hot day?
Shade and cool drinks, lol
Looks ready for battle
Thank you. It is a little tank like.
For 200k ,its a great looking and functional rig
Thank you. We feel the same!
Amazing video, and an amazing build as well! I just stumbled onto your channel. I feel like I may be following your steps a bit here.. I had an 18 ram 3500 cummins with high output. Sold it and waiting for the 2023 model. Meanwhile, I just picked up a 2019 GX460 which I will be building up. But ultimately, a full Prospector XL build with a camper is the goal once I get a truck back.
BTW.. In one of your videos, you mentioned departing from Central Virginia. You wouldn't happen to be in Charlottesville by any chance? If you are in the area, I would love to meet up with you for some coffee to hear more about your journey & adventures. Its fine if you are not, I would still drive up to meet with you. If you are in C-Ville, that would be amazing and freaky at the same time! :) Keep up the great work, and 'stay out there'
I just saw the rest of the video.... You're in Utah! Oh well.. But I hope to run into you someday to share our journeys. Be safe and have a great time!
@@asong26 yeah we left VA earlier this year and moved to UT. But prior to that we were in RVA for many years and NOVA most of our lives prior to that. Loved the GX we had but can only have so many rigs and it made the most sense to let go of. I’m sure you are already on GXOR for the wealth of info to guide your build. Will look forward to seeing your camper build when it comes together!
@@overlandv10 Update!!! Got a fully loaded 3500 Limited w/ HO Cummins, SRW MegaCab. Canceled the GX460 order. Will go into production soon (2022), and will be delivered in early November. I plan on converting it into a full Prospector XL (Will take it to Michigan myself). Hopefully have the truck portion all finished by December if everything works out. Will spec out a camper similar to your in Spring, and get it ready for the Alaska trip in July. Everything happened so fast! My brother who lives in California also wanted the same truck setup, so we were able to negotiate a 5% discount on the trucks. Yeah, we've ordered 2 trucks today in excess of $180K total. Can't wait. I'm sure in the near future we'll cross paths when I get back out to Utah next year. I've called several places, and they all wanted mark-up, and few wanted MSRP. I'll be losing sleep until November...
@@asong26 awesome! Yeah definitely let us know when you come this way to UT. We are also looking at a return to AK, but weighing a fall trip.
there is clear picture of the full truck, great choice
We have a bunch of them on our IG account. Same name as the channel
Dude I just want to pay someone to build one for me. Anyone who does these let me know.
I’m sure Main Line Overland would be glad to build you one too
@@overlandv10 Thanks bro
I absolutely love this setup
Thank you! We love it too. Need to make an update video of what we've done to it over the last year or so to dial it in better. It is an even better set up now than it was when we did this overview.
With all the mods and 37s, what kind of fuel economy are you seeing? Looks great. I’m in the early stages, trying to decide on a platform.
Doing 65-70 about 13.5-14mpg. Getting out west where it’s 80mph more like 11-11.5mpg. That’s all per the computer. Haven’t taken the time to hand calculate it yet to see if the computer is correct.
@@overlandv10 I keep holding out hope that Toyota puts a Cummins in the Tundra like they said they were going to but never brought to market. Dodge is my front runner right now.
@@benjy111100 that would be awesome if Toyota does it.
Fuel consumption is always a thought, but ultimately we just want to travel and it takes fuel to do that. You can't put a price on a smile 🤙🏻. So I smile when fueling lol!
The ram assist steering and lockers make it a real off road rig. Do you know the total weight?
The GVWR on the door is 11,800. We put it on the scale when fully wet (full water tanks and fuel tanks) as well as fully packed out for a trip including bikes and we came in just a hair under that so we are under GVWR which is good, but not by much. When it’s not packed out and full of fluids it is probably a good 600-700lbs less than that. Having said that some people think it weighed heavier than it should have an wonder if the CAT scale was as accurate as it should have been. I will probably weigh it again soon on a different scale to see if that is true.
@@overlandv10 CAT scales are accurate, because it is for DOT. trucker has to know if they are over weight, or big fines.
terrific job fantastic
Thank you!
I need a Trek Madone sl 6 in a 62 cm. Does carytown have 1?
You’d have to call them to ask. They are a Trek dealer though so perhaps they will.
@@overlandv10 I spoke with them yesterday. They have the bike I’m looking for. Hopefully we can workout the shipping details with my local bike shop. Also that is such a sweet build. I’m looking at getting a truck camper also.
@@brucestephenson5962 awesome! They are a good shop so hopefully they can help you out. And will look forward to seeing your camper when it comes together!
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Thank you
I love mine on 40’s!
Checked your channel and subscribed. Great build! Did I see this truck and the Northwest Overland Rally? Ping me next time you are in UT and maybe we can connect. It is good to see someone else not afraid to get on the trails with their camper build.
@@overlandv10 We were at IOX in May. Will do!
Nice rig it's a BEAST 💪
Thank you!
Can't wait to see some adventure videos with this and you and your wife. Mostly your wife
Appreciate it, but maybe a little less on the creepy comment vibes going forward? 😂
@@overlandv10 oh please
@@mphRagnarok are your hot pockets ready?
I've seen better quality builds. Looks like they ran out of capital for the build and never really completed it.
Interesting take. It was purpose built and so far it has met the purpose as we continue to work on getting it dialed in as we have found ways to rethink a few things. Genuinely curious what you think we should have done differently than what we did for the purpose we built it for?
@@overlandv10 well first of all the truck choice was great for the build and I liked the exterior but the interior looks like it could have had better placement to be more efficient with space. Could also have better cushions for the bed and living room. The shower should be towards the back of the camper away from the manager 30 and electricals. There could be some wood grain and double pained windows because if you are camping you want to enjoy the scenery and if you added the more luxury features in the camper like a TV in the wall you may expand the customer range .
@@jackchavez9990 ahhh okay I better understand now. The camper portion is made by Four Wheel Campers. It’s about as optioned up as you can get one. I suppose you could build something custom but the FWC folks have been at it for a while and do a pretty good job for the purpose we were after IMHO. This build is going for a blend of “comfort” that is step up over a roof top tent but is still a solid all around off road rig. Earth roamers sound more like what you are thinking and they are super nice, but they are too large for what we want to do and there is also the consideration of how much money are you willing risk driving some of the places we like to get to.
@@overlandv10 i agree Earth roamers are too big and what pulled me toward your video was the presentation of the outside and im in the market to get a 4x4 vehicle that has the necessities of a home but not like earth roamer. I own a business that lets me work remote so thats why I would like to have some nice internal features. But if I could design my own I would be interested.
@@jackchavez9990 we sound like we have a similar lifestyle / flexibility. If you aren’t already aware of Bison campers give them a look. I’m pretty sure they will do more custom work if you are looking for a popular style camper.
I could build a truck camper that could go anywhere that one goes for less than the cost of that truck...on a truck that is just as good
If you can pull that off you should 100% do it. You’d sell a bunch of them.
@@overlandv10 it wouldn't look as cool as that one though. Your rig looks awesome
@@swim2kill thank you. Appreciate that!
