Couple's own Paris-Dakar using Land Rover transformer-camper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2018
- Brice grew up in Morocco overlanding across Africa in 4x4s and 6x6s. When he met his wife Irina they organized off-road trips across the “land of the pharaohs, and Lawrence of Arabia”, but soon realized that as a couple they wanted more overnight comfort so they turned their Land Rover into an quick-transforming micro camper.
With the press of a button, the standard car pops up and out and in 43 seconds becomes a tiny home complete with kitchen, toilet and indoor shower. To take advantage of the limited size within a standard wheelbase, the couple placed a lot on tracks: the dining table/benches slide to make room for a shower stall (rainshower fixture included); the toilet slides out from within the stall. With the push of other buttons, the bed drops down from the ceiling on wires and the back rack drops down into an instant deck.
To create a comfortable off-grid experience, the entire roof of the car is covered in solar panels which provide all of the campers’ electrical needs. The stove runs on the same diesel from the car’s tank to keep things simple and easy to access in remote regions.
The couple named their car, and company, Wild Fennec after a nocturnal fox of the Saharan desert and they are selling their vulpine vehicle for 50,000 euros.

I have looked at hundreds of van and homemade RV builds this is the best use of a small space that I have ever seen. It is absolutely amazing.
I agree 100%
Trey Rogers yup.. Agree...
You should fucking stop looking and start doing loser.
I think if I had a channel I would be deleting inane outbursts like the above.
Agree,that bathroom was genius and compact
This is ingenious. He is more than motivated. A natural engineer and problem solver. A bit of a passion project. People in the RV and camper industry need to take some notes.
Tesla needs to hire this guy !!!!
Did they?
Yes.
the way you speak is so humourless and not like the passionate chap in the video , its strange use of Lang. I see more and more. like your trying to write a mini article , you take notes feel free
no propane, i love the idea
This guy is the Tony Stark of the camping world.
Loolllll
Kind of looks like him too
😎💚😽
Imagine what he be capable of doing with a full size van. Prob will fit a pool and a gym in it. Lol
Another van inside
I really wish he would do a build with the Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit
@@themcfaceman Honestly I was hoping to see someone do something like this with a sprinter
😂😂😂😂Funny
Can he fit another planet?
This is the most stealthy and practical camper car i've seen, ever.
Stealth camper normally means people dont know you're in there - so you can stay somewhere with our getting moved on by the police.
You are right, i meant more while driving around or it being parked somewhere.
Well, a lot of people would have that in there garage. Good advice, keep it there... :-)
Actually great for most wanted people on the run
micronurd same thaught I never saw any car or camper in any video which uses its space better than this one
when he pulled out that shower my mind was blown
EDIT: THE TOILET
EDIT: THIS MAN IS A FRICKIN GENIUS OH MY GOD
needs a pulley system to retract the shower curtain
KT Doxtader Imagine -with a fixed roof, you can put an accordéon door and have a closed bathroom.
-with a 4 places dinette, you can ad a bath to a regular bathroom!
And WOMAN! She designed it too
@@thomasrainbow LOL
KT Doxtader He clearly stated it was both him and his wife who designed it.
12:14 - No Balls, No Glory. The way that folded up... I mean, it's like out of a movie
I don't understand how anyone could have disliked this video. This is absolutely genius!
Stupidity will dislike this truck
It is not for everyone.
What happens with the transmission breaks or something else ?
Are you now living inside a car repair shop until it gets fixed ?
To me, these are still vehicles, and vehicles do have problems. I would leave mine at the shop, use my 2nd one and just "Go home".
@@nuffflavor He doesn't live in it, he travels with it.
✌️Glampers? 😂
Some people have nothing much to say but just comment unfairly.
Been a "tiny house" dweller for 18 years, this guy has actualised the things I only dreamt about. Well done.
This man is a genius!...I would buy this 100%
dat Nd where do they sell them?
look in the description
but at 50 000€ you could buy quite a lot other vehicle
Sleestak incredible!
@@eberbacher007 No, no you cant. Cant think of ANY 4x4 or AWD campers for that price. Maybe a bone stock USED sprinter 4x4 that hasn't been converted yet. Otherwise (at least in the states) you're talking just shy of 100k USD to get something half as versatile as this.
By far the best conversion I've ever seen.Slightly jealous now.
I know I wanna build something like this so bad its perfect even smaller than a Class B camper
Proud to see a French speaking good English.
And he has “sluts“ under his mattress!
Yeah they usually only speak Arabic.
mee too
What's that got to do with anything you sad anonymous keyboard warrior.
@Peter Rye why would they though... speak english and you speak to most of the world! Speak French and... well... good for you! hahaha
This man is incredibly talented.
K M his wife helped too, as he mentioned ;)
Wow.... These guys have a
shower, toilet, bed, place
to cook and eat. Even to
be able to watch a movie.
More than impressive. I
love the fact they can even
invite visitors in to eat cookies.
Tell me Kirsten how did you
come across this intetesting
guy and wife plus baby. Thanks
for this both amazing and very
interesting video.
I totally agree!
Hopefully nobody presses the "contract" button while they are inside there!
Verry nice, as long one is no forced, for what ever reason; to leave as fast as posible , the place where one spends the night. I was a couple of times in that situation. Places that are remote and look nice in daylight, have sometimes an atraction to people who don't like daylight and do there things in remote places. Further, I don't like canvas on cars for remote traveling. That's for tents. So, it's as save as a tent. An expensive tent. Yes, I have a Unimog with a roof that go's up and no canvas. And , yes, I hit sometimes branches of trees. But there's the thing builded for, solid. And I never was forced to leave a place for... a tree . A probleme with gliding and moving things is that it's difficult to make it solid, and 4x4 drive is over roads that are not realy, euh.. roads. Trembling is not good for those nice gliders, as is dust not a good friend. And when it functions perfect as new in the workshop, the slightest deformation, makes that gliding a not gliding probleme. So, nice , a good idea and come back after five years on non-roads.
TELL US YOU COWPAT
@@sonacphotos big minds big questions
This is one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen. I would love one.
I'm impressed with the use of space and versatility of this rig. It shows that high levels of comfort can remain compact.
This is a serious endorsment coming from an expert in overlanding like you.
Goodness....patent it, Brice!
This is better than so many of the 6-figure offerings im seeing from Hymer and/or other players!
Patent it already!
I am so amazed by how fast the roof and slide out moves, how everything is completely well thought out, how thoroughly everything is made and the craftsmanship
That campervan is like made from a well known factory
This is the most clever use of space for any camper I have ever seen. Many original ideas here. The shower and toilet pull out is so creative. Love the fold down deck with storage and spare wheels. This rig easily fit in a single parking stall and might even fit some parking structures. Amazing
Her: How big is it in there?
Him: Enough! 🤣
Awesome build
Simply wow.. wow.. wow..
I might have seen hundreds of camper van and tiny house videos but this camper van is now on top of the list in my favourites.. Excellently built with everything in it.. Kudos to the guy..
This is maximum efficiency, very impressive. People like this couple are facinating to me, because they are so recourceful and just make things work, no matter the boundaries.
Thank you very much for protraying this interesting familiy and their ingenious home.
Holy shit!!.....Am totally blown away by this! Brice.....if you see this , you did an incredible job! Wow!!.......can't stop thinking about how incredible this design is!
This is the most amazing build yet... And I've seen a lot of lot of builds... If this guy made these for other people he'd be rich 😂
Sweet! This setup is genius, like a Swiss Army Knife. Bravo!
I liked this house on wheels. finally there is a toilet and a shower, a real house. super!!! Thank you for the video!!!!
Respect and admiration for this couple and their skill. An example to emulate for me and my sons. Well done!
One of the best conversions I have seen by keeping the vehicle near standard dimensions while in motion
Kirsten, oh my the children are really growing. It’s great that they get exposed to so much innovation. This one was really interesting; I was ready to comment even before the video started - so cool just to watch him pull into the field. Thanks for sharing your work. Dan
Thanks for sharing. Definitely the cleverest and most compact camper I have seen. I think you missed the storage behind the spare wheel.
All the engineering and technology very impressive. diesel and electric!!!! NO PROPANE!!! I am beyond impressed!
BRILLIANT. I lost it when he showed the shower. Absolutely genius. No balls no glory
Best build ever!
flabbergasted. potentially the best go-anywhere camper on earth
This is one of the best camper conversions I’ve seen. The amount of thought and effort gone into this is so impressive. One day I’d love to own one!!
I love it 😍!!! You're wife and you did a great job!!
Wow, amazing piece of work. These folks could make and sell these and make a killing out of it.
Too many moving sections. If the roof jams, you're screwed because you won't be able to get the slides out.
@@largol33t1 you could certainly make a version of this with far less mechanicals. It might be harder to open and close, but it could work pretty well.
You have created the best camper that I have ever seen. It has absolutely everything that you need when going off grid. My favourite is the bed. It is out of the way when you aren’t using it and there is no work needed when you need it.
Thw shower and toilet combo is ingenious. I see alot of bigger van camper without a shower. This solves the problem.
Absolutely fantastic, with the design , and together with your combined skills , you have beaten the socks of of every manufacturer who builds campers , it's so good , I can say without a doubt, number one ( N○ 1 ) in the World , .....★★★★★ ♥
Euh,... I build campers ( 4x4 ) for more then 40 years and I have not only still my socks on but also my boots.
rangemog21 try and make time to wash the socks ? .. LOL ... you will soon be a millionaire ? .
I knew i liked this guy when he spoke about empty spaces. My house is designed without passages or landings. Just brilliant.
Can you share any drawings or make a tour of your house?
Ingenius use of space. This is the best idea yet!!
Thats the best camper conversion ive seen, would love to own it. He should do another with a LWB sprinter or similar. Would be like living in a mansion in comparison.
Amazing, how he made the camper is just amazing.
It seems like an art, and art of practicality and functionality.
Dude is gonna survive a nuclear apocalypse.
Faq Yu My thoughts also. This would make a GREAT "bug out" vehicle.
If he drives into a bunker.
Yes.....😂
Comfortably too lmao
Only a few weeks though, as diesel will run out.
Wow! The best truck I ever seen, and what a beautiful little baby boy. 😇😊
I have looked at 100's of tiny living space solutions. This is ABSOLUTELY the best build & best use of space that's out there. Not to mention economical. He should get a patent on this & manufacture these. If I were 40 years younger & could physically get around better this is EXACTLY what I would be living in! Kudos to this gentleman and his wife. They hit it out of the park with this one!!! The best to you both. Thank you for sharing Kirsten Dirksen. Cheers!!!
"its really built on experience!" so true. I started off building a Van and that was great but it did not have 4x4 then I bought a truck with a tall canopy and that was not efficient down the road...not I'm building my own hybrid teardrop... The saddest part about life is your the smartest you will ever be the last minute before you die...life experience is the greatest teacher...
That shower is legendary! Actually great use of space throughout.
Hands down, the best designed, engineered and thought out LUXURIOUS car camper I've ever seen.
If you built & sold these, you'd be set for life.
The "FrEnglish" you use (under the grey, England) is so fun to hear.
Hahaha the way he talks, reminds me of the stereotype mad French man in movies and cartoons. It’s wonderful camper he has created and enjoying life with his family. Safe travels for him ❤️
Amazing ingenuity! About the only thing missing is an awning to cover the porch deck to extend the living space during rain.
@8:06 Baby: "Halp! Helllllppp!"
(Cool trailer, very ingenious)
In all my life I have never seen such a thing. Ingenious!!
By far the best build I have ever seen. Ive watched thousands of build videos. From vans to trucks to boats and everything in between. Amazing. Inspiring. Ingenious. I cannot praise this man enough. Well done sir. Well done.
No way! How smart and intelligent is this guy! I´ve never seen a solution like this.
Love the solar power roof
Wunderbar!...Love seeing a family travel and allowing yourselves to see the world while sharing this with you child/children:)
Gregor Miller a
"No Balls No Glory"
Just about sums up life...
Impressive for sure...love how baby boy checking his dad out... What an interesting life he's going to have! Such interesting parents... safe journeys to u peeps & little one... huge hug from Cape Town...
This is my favorite camper build of all time. What an amazing job!
"Brilliant," this is the most "Amazing" camper transformer I've ever seen. All the comforts of home. Sir, you need to "Patent" the build plans for this!!!
someone just learned what air quotes are!
R/suspicousquotes
NEXT LEVEL COOL!! I'm amazed 👏🏾👍🏾😍
This is the most amazing camper I have ever seen! The seat/shower/loo area is so well thought out. When the bed came down I couldn't believe it. Many congratulations on your achievement. Happy travels to the two & a half of you.
One of the most innovative small space camper van I have seen till date. Hope you can bring more such videos.
wow most impressive van build ever. i mean the thing transforms?! amazing and the bed blew me away.
Epic shot with the rainbow! I love this vehicle and the families. Good work☝🏽
This is a great idea I have seen loads of tiny homes and custom RV's/campervans but this is the best one i have seen.
Genius! Love the plethora of features. The rear deck/patio is brilliant!
I don t know what to say.......AMAIZIN!!
HE DID EXCELLENT JOB.
Incroyable! The mechanics and the use of space. What a lovely couple too :). Kirsten, did we just meet your family? What nice children 😊
I’ve been enjoying your videos for years - thank you 🙏🏻😊
I don’t know how RUclips got me here, but glad I came. Absolutely ingenious. Thank you for sharing with us.
I can honestly say this his the best overlander vehicle ive seen what a genius with all the space saving. Thanks for a inspiring vlog Lee
Amazing! Optimized un-plugged off-road mobile home! Incredible creativity! Great work guys!
That has to be probably the best designed space you've shown on your site. Great find, amazing family.
Cheers.
'Inspiring ' is too small a word to describe this....
Great post Kirsten!
i have seen a lot of overlanding and camping vids and i think this guy's vehicle is at genius level. Brilliant creation!
just wow! best build i've seen so far! absolutly amazing!!!
Wow, I had a very similar idea in my head to build my own. Its great to see it has been done already.
alfredobrown I literally was thinking the same thing!
simpsons did it!
This is the 4x4 Swiss Knife! I really like all this engineering, I'm working since month now on our 4x4 home, we are travelling the world for 4 years now on two motorcycle with dog in the sidecar. Bought this year our Land Cruiser and I'm "transforming" it on the way while travelling, not to fancy with electrical slide outs etc.
Well done!
I just keep coming back to this video, the genius and the implementation of ideas is incredible. A truly stunning one off inspirational build. Hat's off good sir.
My favorite part has to be the bed ... great way to get it out of the way.
This is one of the coolest campers I've ever seen - I've been watching videos for years!!! so freaking amazing!!
Wow, this man and wife should start a business building these, WOW WOW WOW, best build I have seen yet!
As with every other comment already, this is the most genius overland build and is going to change the way I think about how to set up my next rig. Thanks for the inspiration.
Preppers, take note. This is a proper "bug out" vehicle! ;)
Hagge Bänke maybe. Maybe not. Too many moving parts. If that starts to break your in trouble
And its to Heavy
Canvas and bug out. Yep.
Brandon Halcyon as long as he has manual override option its great
Brandon Halcyon well he looks pretty set if zombies attack to me
It's like a transformer
Aspiring Hence the title.
yeah that's what i thought.
BRAVO!!!!! I'm certain you have inspired many, including manufacturers to try to accomplish your use of space, in still a small space. I APPLAUD YOU BOTH for not only your work and inspiration, but your dedication to living the life you wish for. In all the world, isn't that the wish of every man?
Amazing space humans can be so innovative when we want........Kirsten I love hearing your daughter asking questions about storage just like her Mom! your kids are growing up so fast.
Kirsten, this is an amazing design!!!!!! This couple are truly engineering geniuses!!!!!!!
This is truly impresive!
When your son grew up he’ll treasure this car so much.
this transformer-camper is such amazing i never seen something like that in my life, this man is absolutely genius
Wow. What an amazing use of space. These folks are genius!
Wow at the ingenuity of this build! Just wow.
I love this Defender conversion! Some great ideas and still kept as simple as possible.
Although I’ve just finished my 110 Overlander just two years ago - well, as far as a car like this can be called „finished“ 😜 - this video gives me a lot to think about 🤔🤔🤔.
Guess I’d better not show the vid to my wife, I already now her first word’s „no, no, you’re not going to do that again. Don’t you dare to start a new project!!!“
Congratulations to this build!!!
The toilet/shower/chair is the most amazing unique thing I've ever seen. There is nothing like that ever! Like pickup van/rv/transformer!
Beautiful country side. Well designed camper.
BeAmbitiousNotContent z
Am I dreaming? This is super genius man!
This thing is a genius design, probably the best RV-thing I have ever seen. This is something that I would probably get if I were into the RV lifestyle to be honest, seems like the best approach. You are essentially just driving around in an SUV which is a lot nicer than driving around in a big truck or van, and you have a nice cozy little living space with everything you could need.
Everything about this is just cool, I love the little porch that he has, the use of space, the whole thing is setup to transform around whatever your needs are and it's all stuff that shifts around general camping/living throughout the day.
This has got to be the BEST bug-out vehicle I've seen yet! Very cool design and ingenious work done to build this thing! Just awesome.
Great work on the design and functionality sir.
