Love it! Excited to see more. I think y’all should do the same route later on with 3 budget off road vehicles. Maybe like a 20K each budget. (Very top gear ish I know). But 20K is pretty attainable for a lot of people so that could be a cool project. Or just one vehicle with a 30K budget for the same thing. Just ideas 🤷🏻♂️
Why run propane heat on a diesel truck? Seems like it would be better and safer to run a diesel heater like all marine applications? But i would love to hear the reasoning.
I think propane is pretty darn safe and it's especially easy to store and transport. Would be nice to have a separate diesel tank and pump, but that's a fair bit of integration and complexity added I'd imagine.
This setup is really nice. It does mean that you loose the loss of your truck as a truck because it is now a camper. Not a bad thing if you have the money to do it.
May want to be careful with deploying the awning while using the propane heater. The chimney from the heater is really close to the awning strap and canvas/nylon roof material, which may cause some unintended excitement (19:47)
Roman I would consider towing a patriot camper. You can get the X1 with or without a tent, it has a fridge, gas burner cooktop, weber grill, 40 gallons of water storage, Heater to heat your water and storage. I know it's pricey but IF you can I would consider it.
I think the Alu-Cab is a great product. The two things that could be better are: 1) Color other than black, which can get too hot; 2) lengthen the overcab cantilever to better utilize that space and provide more interior volume.
I have a 5 lb propane tank like that--perfect for using a stove/grill for a week+. And I can fill it for less than the cost of one of the tiny green camping bottles that wind up in landfills. But...1) The guy mentions being able to run the heather for 30 hours. Sounds a bit optimistic to me (though this smaller version is surely more efficient than a Mr Buddy). In any case, 2-3 nights of use doesn't leave a lot extra for your cooking. Finding a U-haul every 3 days isn't convenient for my dispersed camping style. 2) Propane heaters produce water vapor, which becomes condensation. Whether it then becomes ice or trickles down and contributes to mold or rust, none of these are good options. A 20 gallon propane tank gives you a lot more freedom, but I think the better solution is a diesel heater, which are very efficient and keep the air dry. Especially since the RAM is a Cummins diesel, you could keep a Rotopax or jerry can of diesel and have enough to keep the heater going for a very long time. And the 5 lb propane is plenty for a week+ when you only need it for cooking or maybe a bit of hot water heating.
Good idea running the Devils Highway during the winter! I live in Ajo, Az. Right now the temps are not horrible. Lows in the mid to low 40’s and highs in the mid 70’s. Ajo is about 40 miles north of the International border between the USA and Mexico. We are north of the Cabeza Prieta National wildlife refuge and south of the USAF Barry Goldwater bombing range. (Look for daily aircraft strafing runs from the A-10 Warthogs!). We have big booms from either the sonic booms or the bombs detonating. Sometimes daily, but usually just weekly. On Highway 85 south 36 miles to Organ Pipe National Monument, I believe is either the end point or the starting point for the Devils Highway. While your team is in Ajo, try running some of the dozens of miles of dry riverbed. The sand is pretty deep!! It’s an ATV Heaven!
I wish I could post a photo of my 80 year old Father riding his quad with his walker strapped to the milk crate we mounted on the front of his Artic Cat 400 2 up quad. He rode that quad everyday. Sadly, he passed away several years ago. Have fun!
The Alucab is one of my considerations whenever it is my slide in cant take it anymore. I'm gathering from you guys talking near the end at this point in the build you were at apx 500 pounds added to the bed?? Nice set up for sure. Maybe we'll cross paths down by Diablo....I'll be out in that area mid Feb. with my Ram 2500 set up on 37's. (running an 03 that way since 05). Hitting a truck camper rally in Quartzsite for sure, but haven't decided which direction I want to run diablo yet. That border area is fun.
@@denim_joey It’s about diesel having more BTUs per unit equivalent and takes up less space. Also safer to live around when using open flames or sparks
Roman, I’m pretty sure that diamond plate ramp in front of the awning is to deflect branches so you don’t rip the awning off. 😊 if it was for aerodynamics, you could do a much better job with a molded piece of plastic. Also, I’m not thrilled that the video showed them using flex pipe for the exhaust of the furnace. I won’t even use it on a vehicle for engine exhaust, it’s too leaky.
Use a {potable water hose for drinking} and filling your water tank if that is used for drinking. RV inline water hose filter. 12 volt water holding tank heater pad with automatic thermostat control.{winterize} Get a diesel heater something like a Wabasto Evo 40 much more efficient and you'll be warm. Tap your trucks diesel fuel tank for endless heating. I'm sure you will when you have your cabinet built but also insulate the floor.
Fun project. I looked at Alu-cab but they're too difficult to install and remove so you basically lose your truck as a truck when not camping. I went with a Kimbo for a little more money and weight but easy to remove. A quick note for your camera operator, before a reveal, they should get ahead of the person whose reaction you want to see and show the face of the person reaction. Plenty of time to get the POV but you only get a genuine reaction once.
I’m always torn when watching TFL videos. I’m not sure if watching videos about what only the rich are capable of doing/buying entertains me or depresses me more. I think it’s 60/40 in favor of depression. Still going to watch the video though.
It's going to be a really nice rig! I sure would like to convert my Ram 2500 Power Wagon, but I'm just a working man and don't have $100K. But I guess one could dream...
This channel is basically for yuppies who make $200k a year or love to pay $800-$1200 a month for a truck they don’t need or use. People overland xj cherokees ($5k). Most of these videos are for trucks that cost $70k then have $15k in accessories added.
@@Tomekkplk people drop 100k plus on RVs and truck camper combos all damn day. Why’s it gotta be a yuppie thing. Most people I see spending big money on toys are older and have managed to save some money. They’re mostly not 25 yr old yuppies.
Looks awesome, part of we would love this and part of me can't stand losing the truck bed on such an expensive truck. I do think it would be fun to do this on a cheaper midsize truck like an older colorado. I'd love to build my own but I always sucked at TIG welding aluminum.
So how do you get heat at night up top if you're separated from the heated area by the two drop-down platforms? Isn't the heater right under the rear smaller platform?
I love this desing... Id love to know if the exhaust from the heater gets into the upper cabin area... I look forward to seeing more and hearing your reviews after some uses. Great price too!
I have the Alucab Canopy on my Gladiator Rubicon and camp with a Gazelle ground tent. Love it. But when I retire and do long overlanding trips the Alucab Camper you guys have on a JTR is probably how I’ll go. So really looking forward to your trip and seeing how your outfitted Alucab Camper works out for you. Suggestion- get a portable toilet with the detachable portable waste unit and a pop up toilet/shower cube/tent- either Alucab or Front Runner make one that slots right into the side channel of tent with M8 bolts, or just get a stand alone like I have. As for toilet I have the Camping Brothers and so far so good except that zipper on bag broke- it even tipped over once and only some clean water leaked out and not even that much. For tent I just went with the Alpcour one on Amazon- 10 second set up, a little bit longer take down until you learn how to fold it back into a circle. But works great and folds down to a maybe 1 in thick x 24 in round disk. Benefit is I can keep it inside- everything hanging on the outside creates tons of drag and instability when offroading due to high up weight increasing center of gravity. Since the last planned overlanding trip with the Gladiator did not come to fruition I’m really looking forward to this one. 🤞 that weather and everything else works out for you.
Dunno. I'm biased toward FWC as I have a Hawk on my Power Wagon, but the only advantage I see to these is a slightly narrower profile and not susceptible to the trail damage from branches due to the thick aluminum vs. a glorified beer can. I've looked at these installs at Expo West a couple of times and by the time you build out the interior, meh the juice aint worth the squeeze. Plus they look hotter than hell. I'm based out of Scottsdale, so AZ, MX and UT is where I do extended off-road excursions. I can't imagine stopping mid day to get lunch out of that thing. And you're going to have dust all over stuff after a while I'd be willing to bet. There is no way that thing is sealed up around the bed/tailgate. Dust on your gear sucks. I have that Ali-Cab Shadow awning, nice piece at a heavy high center of gravity price.
》 IDEA 《 - when you are done with this truck, move this Alu-Cab to "Stubby" your shorty Ram 1500. Same bed! Everything will fit. Do a lift and add some lockers. Perfect overland set up!
Good camera work. Good editing. Shout out to the installers. As for this project, 🤑$Cha Ching. Cha Ching. $🤑 So the Classic Ram is next on the chopping block I would assume. 😂 Few more videos on that doing something work related and then the boom will be lowered on that.

Are you giving all this back/selling it back? Like you did with the one that was on the lightning?
Andre should take his van and build something that could be lived out of like this but for a lot less money. I know you guys did some budget overland rigs, but they basically ended up with sleeping bags in the back. You should build something out with the power, water, and extra comforts that someone would like to have a longer trip and compare it to this rig.
So I'm guessing that you are not using your truck as a truck with this attached. How long does this take to remove so you can use your truck as a truck again?
If your going to sell your Ram black wheels hit me up I want to buy them. You should just leave the stock rims with bigger tires they look really good, the off set also allows you to run a 37 with minimal lift.
Those guys did an amazing job with the install. Living in Colorado as well I would love to have something like this to enjoy all the state has to offer. But…..25K is a ton of cash. Do they finance something like this I wonder?
Cool video. You should have David build out Andre's Buhanka as an overlander on a tight budget and compare. See what he could do with 2-5 grand instead of 25k+
@@LibertyOrD___h For a quality overland rig in these crazy times 25k isn't out of the question. With that said, that's one of the reasons why I would want to see what they could accomplish on a budget sub 5k
I would gets a version with lockable side lockers to store emergency equipment and a larger 25 gallon water tank and a second 50 gallon extra fuel tank for super long range off-road driving. This is definitely a good build but if you are going to Alaska the super long range fuel tank MUST be a primary feature!
It already has a 34 gallon tank, likely gets 18-24 mpg already.... 80+ gallons of fuel is heavy and would limit payload by about 400 lbs + container weight
This hipster light duty stuff is OK for something like a Tacoma for "over landing" but an 8,000lb truck with this is just silly. Get a slide in camper with a comfortable bed, shower, sink, and jacks to level it.

It’s because the Dickinson heater is made to run off propane and it’s standard for all Alucab’s that could be installed on gas trucks too.
@@J.Young808 makes sense from a economic and marketing perspektive.
Run on diesel, heat on diesel, cook with diesel ;)
How’s David? He hasn’t made an appearance on the show for several months.

Condensation is going to be a huge battle with this build by the looks of it.
Yup, zero insulation. Even if it is a dry air heat system the dew point is always on the exterior walls
In az and Mexico the humidity is around 20-25%, so much less that most other places

Why is it so high above the cab? That’s a giant air brake wind catcher.

How do they keep the water from freezing?
Just missing a ac unit. So far I'm really liking my eco flow. Southern living requires a little comfort
How much for most basic setup frame, door, windows, top bed on a f150 6.5 bed?
