This Truck is incredibly well thought out, totally functional, which can easily be seen. Every bit of space is used very intelligently having more than one purpose for daily use. The colours inside make it very warm, inviting, and peaceful. It's very easy to see why it took as long as it did to build it out, and it's because meticulous attention and thought has gone into every square inch, and it totally shows. This is the kind of home on wheels I would want.
Hope you guys get lots of use out of this. You obviously put a lot of thought and work into it. Every time someone mentions the cost of an Earth Roamer I'm amazed that its so expensive! You did a good job on your truck...especially love the bathroom.
You built what you want and you enjoy the lifestyle you have with it. I happen to think you did an amazingly great job and admire your creativity and passion, but that's just my opinion. :-) Thank you for sharing!
WOW! Stunning and incredibly functional. Great design and use of space. Love, love, LOVE your kitchen set up. We too are picky eaters and I never imagined being able to have so much frig/freezer space... Of course it took a very large electrical system to make that happen, but your priorities are clear. An expensive build, but a fraction of what you would've paid to have someone else build it and it's custom to YOU. Also, if anything breaks, you know how to fix it because you built it! Who can buy a home AND be perpetually on vacation for under $200k? YOU! Outstanding!
Guys Your Build Is Absolutely Gorgeous.. The BEST YET !!! I LOVE ThIS ❤️ 😍... U ROCKED IT N NAILED IT !!!! SAFE TRAVELS ALWAYS... C YA'LL DOWN THE ROAD !!! GOD BLESS YA'LL ❤❤
Really nice build, functional, with a good amount of storage, yet feels open and not cramped. I like the shower and back porch too! Thanks for the tour!
That’s so interesting. When I was a kid we had a truck and a camper that was put into the box. Now they call them Earth roomers. 😂 back then we called it our camper
01:03 2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle with the mass between the axles, zero overhang. . Some reports suggest your configuration relies on the integrity of the frame rearward of the axle. Some folks suggest mounting the reinforcement panels available through EarthRoamer.
Great utilitarian build! You seem to have plenty of room for your shower. "Our Way to Roam" has a smaller box I believe so built a collapsible shower which takes up 6" when folded. Theirs is built on an older Mercedes diesel military ambulance.
Wow, this is an epic nasa level mad max tiny house on wheels. Exceptional skill and talent. Cody must have an engineer background? Godzilla motor seems fitting. Have never seen anything like this. That paint! Bullet lined, bed liner finish! Almost choked when I heard 17thousand pounds...What is the annual fuel expense? Cheers to this couple for chasing their dreams together. You are blessed to have found each other and to have those mobile skills to finance this incredible lifestyle. Also kudos to the videographer, cinematography and capturing such beauty in the natural world.
thank you so much! That's the beauty of building your own rig, everyone has different priorities / activities / gear to keep in mind through out the process.
I Love it. The only thing that concerns me is if there were an emergency of unwelcome intruders, there is no way to get to the cab without going outside to drive away.
I wish when I was younger their age, people did this. Old people like me did have RVs or motor homes and traveled from rv park to rv park, but they were retired and owned a home or just stayed with the kids or friends when they needed medical stuff or a break from campground or the rv park. They used to buy koa or private campground memberships really inexpensive.
Great build for 175k. Out of my budget and I’m too damn old for all that. But it is a great build overall. Thank you for the fridge and toilet information as my tiny is going to need something small yet efficient and practical. That fridge is great. Especially with the extra freezer below the main one. Im looking up the campo closet toilets.
I know you probably don’t want to add a RV refrigerator vent outside the refrigerator, but they do come in black, so it wouldn’t screw up the aesthetics too much.
@the.desertcruiser I'm flattered. Because this is your creation that you put into reality for both of you. You did an amazing job. People like you for me are the good part of social media. I would not know you existed otherwise
@@64maxpowerdude we put everything we had physically, mentally and financially into this build, so when people like yourself drop a comment we really appreciate it and take it to heart 🙏🏻 there are so many good folks on social, now we know another one 🤙🏻
@the.desertcruiser I sincerely appreciate that. More than I can express. Even more I love you did all this with a bad ass chick. Because Bad Ass Chicks are I n short supply. We need them
Cool build, If it works for them, that's what matters. For anyone balking at the price, you could build this just as well, possibly better, for half the price.
@@largemarge1603 I believe it. Way more affordable to just upgrade a commercial truck. They are almost all built on the same base chassis as consumer pickups.
Actually Christina found our unicorn! Hahaha we wanted the 7.3 Godzilla motor so bad she spent 3 full weeks compiling lists of potential dealerships and I called and called and called. We got lucky and definitely found our unicorn 🙏🏻
Cabover box whit sloped roof would greatly improve the design because the front of the box is like a wall hitting the air and creating a lot of resistance drag making the vehicle consume more fuel especially in speeds of 40-60mph. Almost all small trucks have the cone hood mounted on top of the roof to get sloped roof for less aerodynamic drag in higher speeds. You can easily build something similar with plywood as storage box with sloped roof design between the truck roof and the box and mount it on the storage rack and it will greatly reduce aerodynamic drag and lower fuel consumption.
Beautiful, comfortable build! My only concern is there is no connection from the living space to the driving cab. There have been incidences where it is necessary to drive away quickly without getting outside the cabin space for safety reasons. Probably not a problem unless you are planning on traveling to Mexico.
Thank you! A cab through was not a priority for us, but totally understand your concerns. Our friends who have pass through never use them, and could do without which is how we came to our decision. We are actually in Mexico now for the second time, people are friendlier here than in the US! Haha
@lar, We full-time live-aboard our ExpeditionVehicle. We are in Mexico about half the year... zero issues. . The instant we cross the border into fUSA... plenty of problems.
Tool? Really 😂 “sorry” that I’m so passionate taking about our build and said “massive” one to many times for your liking. Did you enjoy the build at all or I got under your skin so much you only paid attention to me? 😂😂😂
I think I just found my dream build out. How's everything you need and it's not cramped and I have to have a shower in a bathroom but I don't want to deal with a black tank. So it's perfect.
“Actually” has to be THEE single most overused word in RUclips videos, no matter the subject. Now that I’ve got that juvenile remark out of the way, this is an awesome build with some really cool features. Well done.
This is a gorgeous build! So well designed and beautifully finished. Does the 175k cost to build include the cost of the truck or is that just the house?
Never once said it’s better than an Earthroamer 😂 but one thing we do get is people asking us weekly if this is an Earthroamer in person, so does that count? 😂
Ok this is the drinking game video of the week! Every time you hear “absolutely” take a shot and keep track of how many occurrences you detect! The first couple who get the numbers correct wins the pot for the week!!! Pot is $750 right now.
Man, “sorry” that I’m so passionate about our build and talking to others about it that I said absolutely one to many times for your liking? Did you at least enjoy the build, or I bother you so much you only counted my absolutely’s? 😂
@@the.desertcruiser I have no problem with it whatsoever. I live and work the exact same way! we just have a group of full-timers who have a contest where we pick out a video, key word, and one has to take a shot each time and count them. When done they submit their count. First and most accurate wins! We flip videos each week. You happened to be this week
@susan, Our ExpeditionVehicle rarely gets better than 14mpg. We rarely travel more than a hundred miles a month. . Fuel is a very minor part of the budget.
Comparing this to a condo? That condo can’t drive me from Alaska to Mexico dude 😂 but I do appreciate you enjoyed the build! Crazy to think people sell sprinter vans for well over this price these days 😂
Ahh, to be young and mobile again. I could not function in this truck, although I appreciate it's design. But, for example, I'd be terrified with that folding staircase, because it has no bannisters to hold on to so I can maintain my balance. Plus, climbing up onto the bed would be an impossibility for me these days. Welcome to the seventh decade...
Propane makes the power system so much simpler but in our previous van even with really good ventilation we would feel almost “foggy” in our heads when the propane was on. So that’s really why we went electric!
Weight and a huge engine. Remember, that's not a 150, 250 or 350. It's a 550, which, before this video, I didn't even know existed. The bigger the number, the bigger the engine and heavier the chassis. So 9 mpg sounds about right for this.
@@the.desertcruiser you could ad some sort of upper support for the top track. idk what heights that curtain system is available in, ive just seen other installs that have the track mounted to the top and bottom

It actually has everything you need to live comfortably!
we can confirm, after 1.5 years we would change nothing! haha
This is the best build and use of space I've ever seen!! Kudos :)

Why 2 doors though ? Couldn't the ladder be put in the back ? Also the beautiful beach at 20:30 with emerald waters where is that ? Which state ?
They’d have to drop the patio every time they wanted to get into the box.
I love this truck ❤
@thedesertcruiser, 1:49 Is that the Gunnison River behind you here? Looks like near my town… ❤️
Cool build. Although if you had box build why not built over the cab part?

Desert Roamer.
Desert Cruiser.
Ahh, to be young and mobile again. I could not function in this truck, although I appreciate it's design. But, for example, I'd be terrified with that folding staircase, because it has no bannisters to hold on to so I can maintain my balance. Plus, climbing up onto the bed would be an impossibility for me these days. Welcome to the seventh decade...
What’s the gas mileage on this beast?
I love my smoker. I prefer propane over electric
Propane makes the power system so much simpler but in our previous van even with really good ventilation we would feel almost “foggy” in our heads when the propane was on. So that’s really why we went electric!
The over-compensator 9000
Ohhhh another jealous dude who can’t say nice things to anyone online 😂 it’s literally an off roading RV, how’s that over compensating??
@@the.desertcruiser
Well, that settles it.
We are getting the Compensator 10,000.
Because more numbers.
9 miles per gallon, did I hear that right? Is it due to weight?
Weight and a huge engine. Remember, that's not a 150, 250 or 350. It's a 550, which, before this video, I didn't even know existed.
The bigger the number, the bigger the engine and heavier the chassis.
So 9 mpg sounds about right for this.
the shower curtain is "janky" because im like 90% sure its supposed to be on a track on both the top and the bottom
funny you say that, the track on top was even jankier in my opinion. Thanks for your input though
@@the.desertcruiser you could ad some sort of upper support for the top track. idk what heights that curtain system is available in, ive just seen other installs that have the track mounted to the top and bottom
