This is absolutely amazing. Must feel great to have built this yourself, and then know how every detail works in case something breaks. Super impressive. One day... just need to build a workshop that can fit a truck like this in it first ;)
We are talking about 400 or 500k. for something that you are going to use a couple of weeks a year. or some weekend. unless you are already retired and traveling the world. To that we must add the costs of transporting it around the world. You must have a bank account with a couple of million, for an adventure like this.
If I had the money, I'd quite happily pay Peter to help build me one just like it. What a nice gentleman he was, and very good at the whole design, and construction. Thank you for filming it for us!
Every time he says "And then I can..." with that slick smile I want to crack up. He fully deserves to be proud though, this build is absolutely preposterous.
I used to dream about a military-style motor home as a child, with all the gadgets, bells and whistles to take the vehicle to any corner of the world, yet like a home on the inside. This is way better than any of my dreams! Thank you for filming Oscar, and for your tour Peter.🎉
Peter , you have an amazing vehicle . I am Australian and this vehicle would be perfect for our roads and ruff country side . All I can say is I WANT ONE . But alas I am too old now , and I do think that this RIG is for a younger man .. I thank you for showing us this beauty . Safe travels
I absolutely hate people thinking they are entitled to go anywhere, a fucking pest. Stay the fuck out of Norwegian nature. The tracks of these idiot tin boxes last for decades. Luckily we have laws and thousands of euros in fines for the idiots caught.
Absolutely amazing vehicle. MAN is among my most favorite expedition vehicles. Peter, you must be one brilliant engineer. Thanks for sharing your truck with us.
I don't know which I enjoyed more, the truck and all the work that went into building it or both of your German infused English which was so cute to listen to.
I WANT ONE!!!! Very impressive, especially knowing he bought the shell and cut holes for his own windows, did the entire interior, and extra tanks, etc. It's not a DYI project for someone without those particular skill sets. BRAVO!!! Well done. You should be very proud of what you've created for you and your wife.
Now I'm new to this overlander world & I have to say that MAN is the most well planned machine i've seen so far, dream machine. I'm in BC the perfect spot for such vehicles.
Backbeatpat , I remember you guys , went across Africa in 1978 , with a vw van .encounter overland they called themselves , always in a rush driving even at night to make it from London to Johannesburg in a certain timeframe .through the sahara , with thousands of tracks not knowing which one to follow , they had empty oil drums painted in red and white every kilometre or so , always happy when we spotted the next one , i agree , those were the days
the tour of this truck is wonderful - i would be equally interested in a tour of your workshop as you were building it ... thank you Petre - great job.
This is my dream vehicle, I would rather have this than a Lamborghini or any supercar. It's not about the speed or the flashy exterior, though those are nice. This vehicle represents freedom and adventure. Imagine waking up in a new location every day, exploring hidden gems and breathtaking landscapes. The open road beckons, and this machine is the perfect companion for the journey. It's more than just transportation; it's a symbol of a life lived on my own terms, a life filled with experiences, not possessions. I wouldn't trade this feeling of liberation for any sleek, expensive sports car. This is the vehicle that fuels my soul, and that's what truly matters.
This unit is very well thought out. I take my hat off to this man as I know well what goes into a build as to codes and hands-on inspections. The one thing that tells me that this man is not a fool is even though he has power and all wheel drive he still knows he is going to need those chains and when he said it was him and his wife traveling I said I wonder if he has chains. Sure enough he surprised me. Peter I don't have a degree but I have a lot of common sense and I grew up in a machine shop. So very nice work and I know you have a lot of good days ahead of you with your almost perfect rig. Just leaving room for the unknown. Lol. Drive safe my friend.
We parked beside this truck in Dawson City earlier this summer. It was impressive from the outside. It is very spectacular when I see the inside and to learn he built it himself. We are driving a Promaster 2500 and .it felt like a Volkswagen beside his truck at the Visitor centre. We also did part of the Dempster, but only 70km, ours would have trouble going to Tuk, not like that beast. I will continue to follow your adventures.
Thank you for sharing your summer experience regarding this Overlander. I have a 12ton chassis and when he parked his in front of mine, it looked like a pick up truck compare to his lol.
this is amazing. my dad has built a few hook lift trucks in our shop over the years for our dumpster company. i knew right away that peter built this himself, and it's so funny when it happens in the video 20 minutes in! haha. "oh wow" haha! peter deserves some serious credit. the dude is a genius. thank you for this video. it's simply amazing!
To train on this truck it would take a year to learn how to drive and operate it safely. It's safe to say that this gentleman is the only one that will ever be able to drive it. German engineering at its finest - great job, sir!
I have a fiat ducato caravan in Izmir and that awesome truck is my dream caravan ever.I would love to travel the whole world with that travel home.That's a great job,congratulations 🖒😀
That Rig is A Incredible Masterpiece Of CraftManShip, What A Beautifully Though Out Rig ,It Must Really Be A Pleasure To See In Person, Because It Was On VIDEO THANK YOU BOTH !!!
That's crazy, i just saw this vehicle parked outside my house in Scotland a few days ago and was wondering wtf it was. then i stumble across this on youtube!
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF The fact that this happened kind of freaked me out! I'm thinking that maybe this is a message telling me something. Like, I should build/buy such a vehicle and tour the globe. Anyways, I wish you well on your travels my friend....oh, and next time you stop by let me know and I will invite you in for tea 👍🏻
What a great build. 👍 🛠💪🏕🤯 Thanks for sharing this beast of a rig.🐾👍 🍞🥖 That's something I miss too. German Bread 🍞 😋 That and the dark beer 🍺 Brötchen, Dunkles Bier und Weißwurst 😢🥰😉😋
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF Yes about an hour drive from us. It's pretty decent. We have a German restaurant about 30 minutes from us but it was so bad. We couldn't even finish our plates. I do make my own Radlers during the hot days to quench my thirst.
@@livingworkingoutsidebox tell me about it. We had a German Baker around for years but he retired and the challenge started again, now we found a European bakery they have a decent bread. I stay away from German Restaurants here in Vancouver because it is always a disappointment, better to wait and go directly in Germany.
I wish next time you interview a international traveler in a expedition truck you could ask questions about how they address the issue of insurance when moving from country to country. As a Canadian who is about to receive his truck(new) in 3-4 months I have difficulties finding insurance coverage for it. It simply does not fit in their classification for RV ( Class A, B, C) . Theses type of vehicle is just starting in North America and insurers are just not familiar with theses and they don't have policies that fit. Having such difficulties here at home, I'm wondering how it is gonna be abroad. Thanks for the nice video. Keep them coming ;)
Very interesting question as you may noticed I am building my own rig here in BC, which is topic of the YT channel. Facing the same difficulties one little simple advice : ask multiple Autoplan broker ( agents ) some of them are not motivated to find a solution for you, I witnessed it my self. Don't wanna go in to details here. Regards

Where do we find this guys RUclips channel?
@@Are_we_there_yet_ he has none.
Ya, it'd be nice to have half a million dollars to build your dream camper. And zero responsibilities or duties. Wouldn't it be nice.
This is my dream vehicle, l would rather have this than a lamborghini or any supercar.
Could not agree more with you ! That's why I build my own on this channel.
I would rather have both 😂 I need to win the lottery multiple times at this point 😢
Rather have this than a house
@@ChristisKing7749 HOA can’t bother you on this one 😂

Thanks 👍for your kind comment !
Absolutely!👍 This man thought of seemingly everything. Then, prepared redundancies to the systems too.🤯👏
I would want to buy one from him but Im sure I don't have the skillz to keep it going.
Every time he says "And then I can..." with that slick smile I want to crack up.
He fully deserves to be proud though, this build is absolutely preposterous.
Thanks a lot !

That is one bad ass truck. Talk about feeling invincible against almost any conditions
Thank you very much !
Except for a rollover
Peter , you have an amazing vehicle . I am Australian and this vehicle would be perfect for our roads and ruff country side .
All I can say is
I WANT ONE .
But alas I am too old now , and I do think that this RIG is for a younger man .. I thank you for showing us this beauty .
Safe travels
Thanks a lot Bob Brown !
I absolutely LOVE these German/ European expedition vehicles. LOL! If you can't go over or around an obstacle you can just go through it !
Right on! Thank you.
The Aussie ones look sick also
I absolutely hate people thinking they are entitled to go anywhere, a fucking pest. Stay the fuck out of Norwegian nature. The tracks of these idiot tin boxes last for decades. Luckily we have laws and thousands of euros in fines for the idiots caught.
Absolutely amazing vehicle. MAN is among my most favorite expedition vehicles. Peter, you must be one brilliant engineer. Thanks for sharing your truck with us.
Many thanks! For sure Peter knows his rig in and out !
I have seen all kinds of expedition vehicles but I can tell you this one is the BEST of All...1 Wunderbar.
Thanks a lot !
Didn't miss a thing. Thought of everything. Jack of all trades - master craftsman! The best of all time
Thank you for the awesome comment !
the truck is cool but this guy Peter is my new hero
Thank you !
Peter's build is insanely well done, I love it.
Thanks a lot !
Love to hang with this guy, seems like he is full of great info and stories.
No doubt!
I don't know which I enjoyed more, the truck and all the work that went into building it or both of your German infused English which was so cute to listen to.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you ! ;-)

Thank you for your kind feedback and I am sure he is pretty proud of his build . Cheers
What an amazing vehicle. Even more impressive is how much he did himself. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice! Peter and his Wife are on a perpetual vacation/adventure. Pretty awesome stuff!
Oh yes! Thank you !
I am in awe of this man’s genius. I wish I had a fraction of his ability. Amazing!!!!
Thank you very much !

Fantastic video, Peter is superb and I love his self-built truck. Amazing and inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you !
What a genius Peter is! Only a few humans on this planet with this skill set and patience. Thank you for filming.
Much appreciated!
What an awesome vehicle and this man knows how to build and accessorize quite nicely and utilitarian!
Well said!
I Can imagine how fun it would be to just drive this thing down a long scenic road, man what a beast of a truck!
Thanks a lot !
too big for that purpose. so better keep away....
Woman, you know not what you say....@@mandimandi2523
Wow, just wow. This motorhome is out of my league in so many ways, but it's not to see what's possible. So much thought and effort have gone in it.
Thanks you !
The work of pure genius! Everything is so well thought out and built - one of the best rigs I have ever seen online!
Thank you !
the tour of this truck is wonderful - i would be equally interested in a tour of your workshop as you were building it ... thank you Petre - great job.
Thank you for the comment, unfortunately he does not have the shop anymore. Cheers
Unbelievable build- Peter thought of everything. Very well planned and executed

Wow what I kind comment ! Thanks a lot for it and I am confident that Peter will turn red a little if he reads it ! Stay safe !
This is an amazing rig. I cannot even imagine what that would cost. When you are that intelligent, you deserve something like this.
Thank you !
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF Probably significantly less than buying it finished and customized by someone else.
Hello.You're a MASTER.
An inspiration to millions of people.
Be safe & healthy eith your wife in the journey of life. See you again soon. 🎉❤😊👌💨🌎🇱🇺🇨🇦.
Unpretentious and totally pragmatic; the truck and Peter. Truly Vorsprung Durch Technik!

Maybe not a year but it would take some time to get used to it. Thank you for your comment.
German bread and a good coffee ! Perfect 😍

Thank you soo true.
Wonderful rig! Beautiful. Soooo much more practical and user friendlier than your average American design.
Thank you for commenting !
@zl,
American RecreateVehicle assembled with staples into particle-board.
Saw a few trucks like this up on the Dumpster highway. Definitely the right vehicles for the condition of the road.
It sure is, thank you !
Wow, this is the coolest offroad cravan I've ever seen!
Thank you !
Hey!!! This bad mofo was in Calgary with a friend in July. I drooled just a little.
Lol that makes it two of us ! Thanks
such a nice way to live i love that truck and respect for putting it all together on your own
Thanks 👍
This is my ultimate dream! I would not need a house anymore. I have been looking for a man 8x8 as well. I love it! Maybe one day
Thank you for your comment and yes a lot of Expedition truck owners choose to sell they're house and live full time in the rig !
Well you know what they say:" A German does it right or they don't do it at all." Beautiful rig you have. I wish many years of travel.
Thank you very much !
This was at my work in Whitehorse a couple of weeks ago. Evergreen.
That is correct, thanks for sharing !
Fair play, beautiful, would love to travel the world in this, amazing life for sure.

Very impressive, pretty much in the military category in terms of size and ruggedness.
You could say that but the truck has way to many bells and whistles to be an military truck 😎
