You just convinced me I'm getting one.
Thanks for watching.
😂😂😂😂
I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Sullivan Crosby try FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Torin Cody Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since march myself =)
I assumed by the title that this was going 2Ba gripe, but it was refreshingly honest & very accurate. I gave you a thumbs up & I'm still going ahead with a 4x4 F350 extended 4 door flat bed truck camper. Either the 4 Seasons poptop or the Nimbl Evolution V1 XP camper. Your list didn't deter me - it inspired me. Without challenges & adversity we wouldn't be the enthusiastic Adventurers that we already are. I'm a bachelor, I'm sincerely through with women, I love camping, fishing, shooting, bushcrafting, cooking & the solitude of intentional isolation. Can't wait to begin! Thanx 4 your input! Ciao:)!!
And I have to say. I did go up the these guys in Lake Havasu BLM area just to say hi. Was almost dark but they chatted with me for a quick minute Since my daughter lives in Alaska and I’ve been there I felt the need to say hi. They are sweet and very informational on their channel. Hoping to meet up with you again
Hello again! We look forward to getting back on the road again and crossing paths with folks.
I agree with all eight reason you laid out, hope our paths cross when my DW and I return to Alaska in 2021.
Thanks. It would be great to see up here, but I hope to be overseas by then.
#5 "If you are a rude prick." LOL!!!
As an avid truck camper I don't think you gave them the credit they deserve. Obviously the key to happiness is to carefully match the truck and camper for the application. We are about 800 lbs below our GVWR (and rear axle rating) fully loaded and about 900 lbs below our payload capacity in a 3/4 ton truck. Life is simple and comfortable with the addition of a Hellwig rear bar and airbags for additional support. We average 12.8 mpg with a gas engine and get 45K miles on a set of tires :-) And unlike the overland types, I can remove our camper in less than 15 minutes and have a truck to use as a utility vehicle. Also, I might add that we have a total of $47K invested in both the 2016 truck and 2018 camper combined.
Oh I have much love for 4x4 truck camping!
Sounds like you have a great set up.
Thanks for watching.
@@outliersoverland I guess I failed to mention that our truck is a 2WD. Like many things in life, there are always pros and cons and compromises. The key is to make the most with what you have. :-) Frankly I'm amazed at how many people think that their half ton will carry most truck campers.
Thanks Ben ..I made that mistake and bought a slide in truck camper. I already had a dodge 2500 but did not know the diesel engine reduces the total gross v weight. Live and learn ..Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome.
Well said, live and learn.
Straight to the point! And I always suggest my friends to hire a MH or Camper before doing such an acquisition, specially if they have never done Overlanding. Regards from Brazil!
Hello from Alaska. Thanks for watching.
Renting a camper is a very wise decision before purchasing.
Iam from Portugal and I have a benz unimog thats the best, amazing truck. I never change the tires yet, i have the same tires for about 10 years. I went to siberia, yakutsk, russia, in winter amazing. Gobe desert in Mongólia! Africa, marrocos, algeria, angola, guine, mozambique , south africa, egypt, and so many and never ever change a tire! Lol luck i guess!!!
A very oblique way of promoting them, I like it!
At moments I almost caught myself going into a Jeff Foxworthy routine and talking with an accent.
@@outliersoverland You would likely do well with trying that. On the other hand, we know Hillary Clinton failed at that. : )
LOVE MY ISUZU 300 NPS 75 MODEL 2010 CREW CAB 4X4
THANKS YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO AS ALL GREAT WATCH ALL TIMES
FROM AUSTRALIA
I've heard good things about the Isuzu chassis. I like that you have a crew cab, that extra space would be nice.
@@outliersoverland This is one of the biggest Expedituon Motohome builders here and they build on a variety of chassis,( MAN, ISUZU, HINO, Unimog, IVECO MDT Truck) they also export their
motohomes

Never thought of it that way; I'll boost my budget in my planning. Tks.
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
Awesome. Being able to be away from really civilization has always been our thing too....
I want to get into more dispersed camping on forest and BLM land, was wondering how often you two use the 4WD on your vehicle? Would a 2wd Fuso truck (swapping the rear double tires for a single) get me down some fire roads and into quiet nature? Do you feel the 4x4 capability is essential to your adventures?
Most of the time we use 4x4 for getting to beach campsites and it is almost required for that.
Yes. We feel 4x4 is mandatory for us. We live in Alaska and need to be able to drive winter roads without worry. We also like beach camping and hard to reach campsites.
Thanks for watching.
I have to agree. I loved my 2wd truck but I quickly realized getting stuck is easy Todo an really sucks when you are in a remote area. 4x4 is necessary in my opinion from a safety perspective alone.
@@212driller It all comes down to trip planning & situational awareness. Where I live, Forestry roads are pretty good but BLM roads in the desert require more attention.
Cheers 👍
Depends on the trails. I’ve felt I was really getting out there and would then see a passenger car going the opposite direction. Not all blm is the same, start with what you have and start on easy trails, then once you reach the capability look to find something that meets your use case.
Your comments were very helpful👍🏼😃 thank you sir for your video and your time!!!
My wife and I are looking forward to seeing more ahead.😊
Happy to help.
You might find this video interesting as well.
8 Things you DON'T know about EXTREME 4x4 Truck Campers
ruclips.net/video/06vyPrvR3wU/видео.html
These are not reason not to buy a camper, that's just clickbait. These are simply things anyone should always consider before making any camper purchase. In other words, know the type of person you are and the type of travel you want to do before committing to a major expensive camper purchase. We're all different, so doing some research and soul searching up front will ensure that you get the vehicle that fits your personal needs.
People who watch RUclips click on dramatic titles.
It’s not us, it’s the viewers.
The info we share in this video is valuable and if you give the video a lame title nobody will click on it.
Anyways, thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video, one additional reason would be the trucks are too big for some trails. All depends on where you want to go and your specific use case.
And....if you love fishing in the wilderness to be refresh by nature and by all the fishes you catch...You should have a truck camper. All of the above check...where do I sign up?
The camper to heavy for a 1 ton dually? Go to the f450-550 or 4500-5500 cab and chassis. Speaking of tires if you want weight ratings go with the continental mpt 81 but if you want longevity go with the Goodyear military tire (I can't remember the name of the Goodyear sorry)
I have a jeep with a matching off road teardrop trailer with all the bells and whistles. I know what it's like to stop for fuel and get asked questions almost every time.
I think it’s great to inspire people to dream.
I have a 1250 pound Popup on a F250 4x4 fully loaded I am way under my GVWR
Us as well. I think they were mainly referring to the hard side truck campers, as they're much heavier. We have the brand new Palomino soft side 1500, and it's well within the range of my 1 ton. The beauty of these pop ups, is the low center of gravity and profile. You can really get into tight spaces you cant with the big rigs.
I’m so glad you said that 1 ton pickup aren’t sufficient for heavy Truck camper, you don’t hear this being said enough, I recently got a new TC ... a heavy one and I drove it home with a F350 DRW and I didn’t feel comfortable, lucky for me I had ordered a F550 and had it super singled by dbldesign.com I now have twice the payload capacity on mpt81 tires. After I’m done with this TC I’ll be moving to a pop up TC to get the center of gravity for short excursions
It’s would be nice to see you again if we get to the east coast again.
@@outliersoverland maybe we will be lucky to find you in Alaska the day we finally break free
Look into Palomino for their new pop ups. We really love ours and it works well with a 1 ton. Keeps you light and maneuverable!
This is a very informative video, but I feel like your title is a bit misleading. You're discussing overlanders rather than truck campers, which are generally recognized as the slide-in type. That bit aside, you make fantastic points, and you've earned a subscriber.
Hey Casey. Thanks for watching.
Glad you found value in our video.
I used the term 4x4 truck campers because they come in many forms.
Hope you enjoy our videos. We have started our trek around the globe and are in Croatia right now.
When you say the tires get chewed up real fast, how much time are we talking about?
In our case.... we got about 12,000 miles on our last set of rears. Keep in mind 1400 of those miles were on gravel roads.
We like the look and concept of the Offroad Truck but for us came to the conclusion that they’re to much of a compromise. Decided on the Landcruiser combined with a Offroad Hybrid Camper Trailer combo set up (Western Australia). Enjoy your channel, thanks.
It’s always a balancing act.
Thanks for watching.
Haha that was awesome. Love the honesty. I’m very blunt with things. Safe travels
You give me this "Tips from the ER" guy from Tik Tok vibes lol
Honesty always the best policy. The insurance thing is interesting subject, I live in a vacation area (Okanagan, BC) tons of slide in campers, I reckon 65% are illegal on the road, rv sellers should be charged for selling/loading illegal combinations.
When he said if your a rude prick i was like fuck guess its not for me.
Well done with the educational part, however very clever with the title. Thank you for sharing. Buen Camino.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the content. That was really matters to me.
Cheesy titles like this are part of the RUclips game for people to click.
Thanks for watching.
I've been driving heavy diesel trucks and 4x4s for decades. In adverse conditions and tame urban environments. Off road and on. I try to remain well within the scope of my capabilities and those of my machines. About the only vehicles I've no experience with are ATVs...I leave those for my bolder brother and his wife!
Sounds like we have similar good tastes in truck.
Love your vids. You both seem to be genuinely happy and well adjusted people. Independent and enthusiastic. My wife and I built a compound down here in New Mexico over the course of several years when time, money and circumstances permitted. It is a work in progress. We have four and half acres, too of two of which are enclosed with chain link fencing. Within which we have a double corral two horse shades (one converted into my outdoor artist's studio), a large RV garage converted into a kicking gym and second studio. We also have a modular home of 1200ft, another converted horse feeding barn (second gym!), a tack room, a well house and tank, a 33' Pace Arrow RV under restoration, a custom, lifted f150 with a Jasper Motor and many upgrades, an f350 dually with a hi-pro turbocharger and many extras. A Lexus RX 330 (best car we've ever owned), several bicycles and two very over the top motorcycles! Two huge bully dogs (our babies) and lots of guns strategically placed here and there. Lots of indoor plants, air conditioning, purification systems, ionic components, fans, hepa systems, and a third art studio! Could be worse....
New Mexico has some beautiful places.
Plans include more outbuildings, flooring changes, overhead doors for the carport and more concrete blocks and pylons surrounding the fenced area to deter occasional flooding.
@@outliersoverland yup. Luv white sands. Chibolla Forests. Los Alamos. Taos. Ojo Caliente. Ruidoso. Our nice lakes. Santa Fe. Deming and Rockhound Canyon. The Organ Mountains. Soccoro. Many other sites. Before New Mexico we lived several years in Colorado where we still have a home. Prior to that we spent many magical years in Hawaii...my true home!
Yes, Ben... interesting! I'll never own one but applaud a video well done!
Seeing your voice coming out of the mrs mouth during your VO made me chuckle ;) Kidding aside, I'm down for something like this, I need a offroad exploration vehicle for some proper adventure..
Glad you enjoyed the video. We try to make it engaging with the b roll.
How many miles do you typically get from a set of tires?
The fronts have about 20k on them and are looking good. The rears only made it 10k. Keep in mind probably 2000 of those miles were on gravel roads.
Begging the Question is a logical fallacy that occurs when… (1) You assume the truth of a claim that is yet to be proven and (2) instead of providing evidence for that claim, you merely rephrase it.
Love your video trying to buy a camper for our dodge
Thanks. Hope you find the right camper.
FYI...we're under our GVWR on that RAM 3500 with the Big Lance....But, put a Lance 1172, Host Mammoth or Eagle Cap 1165 and I would exceed GVWR. Interestingly enough a current Ford F 450 still only has a 14,000 lb GVWR. Same as the F350 dually (or 3500 RAM or 3500 GM duallies). I know a guy with an F450 and Eagle Cap 1165 that tips the scales at over 16,000 lbs. Foder for discussion.
Hey Mark. I know you are.
It’s just the only slide in truck camper footage we have.
Some of the 3 slide models do get really heavy. Some trucks are not dual rear wheels.
@@outliersoverland Yes, the 3 slide models are in the 4500 and up territory. F450 is still only rated for 14,000 GVWR interestingly enough....
Hey ben maybe you can do a compare video like 8 reasons to get a truck camper and 8 reasons to get a van and compare them maybe great video
I´m convinced, too. :) Thank ýou so much from Unimog-Country!
You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Great video! Is the Fuso a good vehicle? Probably much cheaper than a Unimog
I’m looking at building and overland F5 50 I already have an 06 dodge Power Waggon both these can be used with a truck camper but I need them for work also so they have a multipurpose what truck camper do you recommend.I was also thinking about building my own custom flat deck camper that can be lifted off and on to make it multipurpose what do you think
Well....
The ‘06 Dodge you already own is probably a trusted friend and also does not require DEF and ULSD.
A new truck is nice, but sometimes the bugs need to be worked out of them.
Both will only be good for North America and maybe South America.
There are pop up camper shells on the market that bolt to the bed like a traditional truck cap. The ones I have found in my research so far are Go Fast Campers, Super Pacific Switchback, Snap Outfitters Treehouse, Four Wheel Campers Model M, Hiatus Campers, and three different models from AT Overland. Depending on which one you go with you are looking at spending between $7k to 15K just for the shell. The sleeping area is basically an integrated roof top tent that pops up when you are ready to set up camp and you access it from inside the bed of the truck instead of climbing up a narrow ladder outside the vehicle. You can build out the inside of the shell however you wish to customize it for your needs. The only one I found that the pop up portion is hard sided is the Hiatus Camper. Right now (Aug 2021) a lot of these manufacturers have long lead times to start production ranging from Spring time 2022 to Fall of 2023.
A new f350 diesel would not be adequate?
It depends on the loaded weight of the camper and the chassis gvwr....
Hope this helps.
Dude remember that your opinion I have not had any problem yet nothing and I know a few other people that have not had no problems yet
What model Mitsubishi truck is that?
It’s a 2007 FUSO FG140 4x4.
Here’s a tour video.
ruclips.net/video/Q0FhiH40zhg/видео.html
If you live in Seward Ak.....have you been to Seward Nebraska? They have a sign in the town that says..Seward Alaska 3,424 miles
I don't believe we have been to Seward, Nebraska but we have been to the Seward in Kansas.
@@outliersoverland well....Seward Nebraska is small....very small....like....7,000 ppl....so your not missing much....lolololol Drive safe....happy traveling..be safe and watch out for asshole drivers..lol
trying to decide a ford f250 4x4 diesel pulling an outdoors rv trailer or a class c rv with a 4x4 conversion done by Ujoint(gas new gorilla engine). Very good video.
For maneuverability we wouldn’t want to pull a trailer.
A 4x4 Econoline conversation is great, the mass produced RV part would be the weak link. They are drafty, not insulated and low quality. There are a few exceptions, but those come from boutique builders.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for watching.
@@outliersoverland thank you. I am looking at the Entegra Esteem 29U about 29 feet. I really appreciate your reply. Take care and safe travels
Good channel
Thanks. Glad you like our videos.
I wonder if cops mess with you or people that drive vehicles like that more?
Fortunately nobody really messes with us like that.
@@outliersoverland great video and what an awesome truck!
so... where are the reasons not to buy one?
except of the tires, all the other listed here were pro 4x4
That's the sarcastic idea of the video. Thanks for watching.
Too Late , I've already built it .. but can't get it COVID Bound down.. those 8 reason are exactly why I did .... I try to not be a rude prick.. ~peace~
Congrats on finishing a build. Tell me about it...
What state are you in? Are you allowed to go camping?
The prick part can be tough for everyone. LOL.
@@outliersoverland My Build is in Canada , I'm in New Jersey ..
@Russell Weber III Agree 💯! More people were sick with H1N1, no communities were shut down.
@Russell Weber III Agree 💯! More people were sick with H1N1, no communities were shut down.
Loved the sarcasm!!!
Thanks, trying to make subtle points. LOL
I still haven't heard a reason to stop me from doing it.
So the first thing you ask the dealership. How much are tires?
2nd thing, what’s the GVWR?
If the math is good you got yourself a off road Camper.
That’s a good place to start.
Well, I guess #5 rules me out! 😜
How about an 8x8?
Useful Offroader in Alaska?😁
Too late!
moveen, driveen, increaseen, haveen, watcheen are not words
If y’all enjoy busteen people’s chops over accents don’t watch videos from people around the country and world.
you're welcome
Not very convincing....in a good way !!
1:16
👍👍❤️
In love with your videos!! Your info is always so helpful!! And not that we plan on going all hardcore 4wheelin' ----but we do wish, God willing, to go a bit further than a regular RV can. We have the 2020 Thor Magnitude XG32 4x4 Super C on a Ford F550 chassis. So far, we love it. Looks like this one, click link---> ruclips.net/video/cNIeupbN5wE/видео.html (except our interior valance toppers & master bed cover/pillowcase combo are different).
That is a beautiful rig. At one point in time Host made a Super C like this. Beef up the suspension and tires and you can go almost anywhere.
@@outliersoverland thanks for the tips! Hope to see you in Seward (family lives there & I was born there )...and/or hope to see you out and about!!
I'm a rude prick. I'm out.
Wow hahaha 🤣😂
Thanks for watching
:-)))) :-))))
