    I worked at Sunrader in the early 80s, I sure wish they still made them. Thanks for sharing

    Ooh, Toyota quality, 4wd, & fiberglass shell. I too am lusting after this rig. Beautifully & intelligently redone from the truck mechanicals to the interior. I'm inspired & impressed. Thanks!

      Yeah I spotted him a while back. In this video he mentions the bigger motor but didn't specify what it was. This thing actually came with the old 22r 4 cylinder which for this was obviously grossly underpowered. He put in the 3.4 V6 that was used in 3rd gen 4Runner's and 1st gen Tacoma's. (If you opted for the V6 package)

      Superb quality notwithstanding, the vehicle chassis is already over 40 years old, which is long past its natural life. Maintain something that old could be an issue as parts would be obsolete.

      ​@@mrslcomA steel chassis only last 40 years 😢 (sarcasm). That thing is a total gut rehab. Not a lot of 40 year old parts.

    I love the no sink! And the rear storage. And side storage. And cab access. Great job.

    • @asktheanimals
      @asktheanimals 5 месяцев назад +5

      Indeed. I stopped using a sink years ago. It encourages saving water, creates more storage, & keeps things cleaner.

    • @OWK000
      @OWK000 5 месяцев назад +4

      I have noticed that quite a few experienced "van lifers" dispose of sinks and showers inside a vehicle. I have seen hellish water damage totally destroy a beautiful van build, too. Keep your plumbing outside.

    I am a registered nurse and when I have patients that have broken an arm or have wound care, we recommend sponge baths even up to 8 weeks they survive very well. I think we could learn a lot from this.

    Smart! Everything about this rig is well thought out and useful. I want to do the four cameras on my van when I get it, but I never thought about it being used for driving so there are no blindspots. What a smart idea! Also, putting the fridge up front is such a good idea. It saves space and you can have a cold drink while you are driving. hahaha

    Hi! I've been looking for where to post this, so I guess this video will have to do. On Amazon you have a video from a very helpful lady about how to fold the Abco Pop Up Tent, and I want to thank you and her for making that video available. Amazon has plenty of videos from helpful people eager to show us how to do it. Well, I watched a few of them and got nowhere. One guy folded his tent beyond the camera frame, a couple of others did it so fast I have no idea what they did. But that lady.... ohh, she is wonderful! Particularly that part about where to put your hands on the tent and how to bring them together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    I did the same. I had an off road trailer built to my specifications and it’s totally off grid as well with a Bluetti AC200Max, 800 watt solar panels, Zero Breeze AC and a Joolca hot water heater. It goes wherever my Jeep Wrangler can go! I travel with my Labrador retriever.
