Regardless of 8-week project timeframe, this is probably the most badass well designed vehicles I’ve ever seen. You can tell you put thought into every inch. This is amazing.
I'm a trim/finish carpenter who's been in the game for a good while. I've worked on VERY expensive homes and I am considered a B- grade carpenter. (There are like 50 A+ carpenters in North America, in my opinion.) Anyway, I couldn't do this in 8 weeks reliably, by myself. It's not something I would take on with a contract if I couldn't have at least a remedial grade helper. Whoever you are, whatever your background, you are a fucking beast. Hats off.
@@drivetheglobe ...Ex master apprentice here who can totally concur. Seen teams of day labor and government subsidized union workers take longer to do less quality in commercial rental space and contemporary yuppie hives...aka _condos._
I saw this and thought,.. Oh Im probably not going to like this one,....when in fact im floored!! This is a magnificent build... wardrobe, bed, COOL ASS TOULET!, SHOWER!! WOW, Awesome job!!
The inside looks more like a tiny house almost. Amazing how original it looks even with the pre-made furniture. The hooks on the drawers of the Ikea table added so much character! Loved it!
@@drivetheglobe Life is too short to focus on hate. FMTV (LMTV) the world ! P.S. Amazing channel. I'm sure I'll be watching you more often, now that I have my own M1079 on the way.
It's impossible to put anything on the net without getting a little hate. That doesn't mean that hate is justified. He's killen it! I'd love one of these monsters.
Just wow, this is one of the best layouts I’ve ever seen inside of an overland vehicle hands-down, doesn’t matter what type of materials that you used ,you built it for you not for anyone else and I think it looks absolutely fabulous great job!
Thank you! Glad to hear. Sometimes you just have to take the plunge and do it. That is what I have learned. Was a little scary living out on the road at first but so many great experiences and so many awesome people. Cheers!
The best overland expedition camper I have ever seen in my life, in my opinion this is the best camper I could ever see , most of the campers that are big like this camper don’t have everything in order like a full size kitchen, shower and toilet with a comfortable bed everything a house has this thing has in with great space and it feels exactly like a normal home just in a tiny form factor on wheels
Don’t feel guilty about utilizing IKEA. This is a very good company their product if assembled properly is very good I commend your decision nicely done
Wow, that interior is gorgeous and the fact you did it in 8 weeks. Amazing. I have parts that have been in order longer than it took you to build your interior. :)
Thank you! Ha Ha, I have parts that I have been waiting for longer too 😂Like my awnings.... grrr. Thats gonna be an interesting install now that the interior walls are done.
That is the exact ceiling I have in mind for the ceiling in my current interior remodel of my 37' 89 Fleetwood Class A Motorcoach. So far I've upgarded the 460 Ford and C6 3 speed tranny to a Very Healthy 5.9L 12 valve Cummins and Allison 5 speed tranny. Regeared the Diff and installed a positrac . Then put a Ford 7000 MDT truck Radiator and Intercooler in it. Mechanically it's almost done, just gonna pump up the engine HP to 450 with an AFC Live Fueler. The interior I've been working on over the last few years, but had to take a break so my wife and I could fight our cancers. It would take too long to explain all the interior mods but it has a 55" Pop Up TV and Electric Movier Theater Recliners in the living area. We are now healthy and I promised her I'd remodel the house before I get back on the Coach. (Should have it finished by Spring.) The MH won't be an Off Roader, more of a nice base camp, but I've got a special 4X4 for those rock run trips. Thanks for showing off your Rig. Going to show the Wife the Ceiling so she will understand my ideas better. Really inpressive!
Wow looks great, yours looks so big compared to my build I’m very impressed. I think the fact that I had to have the ability to sleep 4 made a big difference in the design. Honestly though, I love the style, the colors and materials and the toilet is great! And you did it at 22,000 lbs that seems very light to me I’ve yet to weigh in but wouldn’t be surprised to see 28k. Congrats my friend you killed it!
Thank you. Yes, probably easier when you are only trying to design for one or a couple. I would be surprised if you got that high of a weight. I think I may have removed 2000 lbs of extra weight from the floor and outriggers on this thing. Plus the rear door delete etc.
8 weeks for this result is incredible! Wish you had film the build because it's such a nice finish - have you documented by any chance any of your plumbing or electrical install? An overall cost video also would be great to be able to get an idea if our budget is realistic! Once again, well done :) Chris & Ange
Thanks guys! Really appreciate it. I did do some filming so I will get those out eventually. Ha Ha, as you know- if I had done a lot of filming it wouldn't be done yet. Will do a cost breakdown soon and I will do a video breaking down plumbing and electric too. I keep watching you guys- it is coming along well!!!
Doh. Speechless. I kinda wait for the "utilities" tour. Happy to see numbers too. Mine looks like a waste pit compared to this. Sad to hear there is no video of the bedroom frame build.
You messed up. You said you weren't going for a $300, $400, or $600,00 build, but I think you are definitely in that range based on the professional builds I have seen. I am pretty sure my wife and I are going this route with a Stewart and Stephenson LMTV and it is so great to see what you have done. We live in Maine and thought we could rent it out as well to help justify the cost. I am so impressed with all you have done.
Quick feedback, everything you are saying in the first 10 minutes or so could have been said while you were showing your rig. Show and tell, don't just tell would make for a better vid. Love your rig, all the great work you've done , and your trip. Keep it up! Good luck in your travels!
Congratulation my dude, what a great build you made there! You gave me great ideas for my own project, thank you for that! Looking foreward to the next video! Greetz from Germany
@@drivetheglobe Very nice! If I may ask, how much did it cost you to build your rig? When you come back home from your trip, will you start to build these rigs for other people that want to travel too please? Thanks!
My god....this is the sexiest, stylish and best executed overland vehicle I have ever seen. You have a gift. I always find something to change with builds, but this is perfect. I could easily live in this the way you have it set up. Do you do consultations for people that want to build their overland vehicles? Would definitely hire you if you did. If you do, please let me know how and where to contact you. Well done on your beautiful home.
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. I have done some consulting in the past and will be doing some instructing at Overland Expo. Not really doing anything too seriously though as I am traveling full time on the road in this rig right now. I would be happy to chat if you ever have questions though. Thanks, Mike
Amazing build. So well thought out and stunning. The one thing I'm unsure about is the lack of access directly into the cab. Don't you feel like that creates a safety issue? Do you ever feel uneasy because of it? I feel like I'd never be able to sleep in the back, and any sound outside would make me panic if I didn't have direct access to the cab.
Thought about access from the cab but it would have taken up too much room in both the habitat and the cab- and probably would have also leaked with the cab tilt to overcome. In all of my years traveling I have never had any issues- especially with big obvious non discreet rigs. Thanks for watching..
awesome! Yes, it doesn't matter what the vehicle is as long as you get out there and explore. And "tiny" compared to most peoples full time living arrangements. Thanks for watching.
These past few days i've seen quite a few mobile home builds, and this is by FAR the best one. So tidy, well equipped, efficient AND sufficiently spacious. Amazing!
You made a home, bravo sir. If your video didn’t mention or show it was a vehicle, i would have thought you were showing off an updated small apartment. Your kitchen, especially that sink really give it a homey feeling. They way you set it up, specifically the foldaway table & hidden workstation makes it hard to imagine it’s such a small footprint. I hope you are as proud as so many of us are impressed. The dreams your work has inspired!
Looks like a great build-out. Did you use any special tools in the design to make sure all the systems were taken into consideration and worked/would fit together? Nothing like getting things installed and then realizing you need to run a cable or pipe through an area, or that door clearances wouldn't work etc.
What a fantastic rig! I just started looking for a platform to begin an overland build similar to yours. I've simply gotten too damn old for the expedition trailer with a rooftop tent. Would you mind sharing a rough cost of your build?
I know what you mean! Being full time, even my trailer was not enough. Build cost is a tough one. Really depends on what the base unit costs. Like everything else they are going up rapidly. Because I dis nearly everything myself I am around 80US.
This is a fancy van, I am currently driving around Africa in my 1995 Mitsubishi Delica van and I filmed the entire journey. If I had money I would probably build something like this👌🏿👊🏿👍🏿
This is amazing. Not stealth camping is it?! Although I can't help being impressed, and I like the build, not sure I entirely approve of such a monster. But top marks for creating it.
Very cool! I’m in the early stages of design/layout of a camper I’m building and was looking at idea cabinets. They make so many different products that I feel I could adapt to what I’m trying to do, just a little worried about how it all may hold up after a few hours down a bumpy dirt road. I know it’s still early on your build but do you have any pros/cons with how they’ve held up or expect to hold up? Thanks again, looks great!
Its early but I have taken them on one brutal dirt track already. Honestly, the cabinets in my trailer were way less quality and that thing went all over the place on poor roads and off road and they survived fine. I think they will be solid. Thanks for watching.
The more research I do on a home on wheels, the more I think a military truck is my best bet. I want something I can take comfortably to the territories in Canada.
As a Swede 🇸🇪 my self , I’m pretty impressed that furniture from IKEA works in Overland truck(s). What a great job you’ve done !! Drive safe , drive far 🚚💨💨💨
Great looking build! I do hope you modify the significant fire hazard of locating your paper towels immediately above the toaster. Imagine waking up weary eyed, toasting some bread and then moving off to do some other task. You then turn around to discover your entire kitchen on fire. Easy fix, just relocate the toaster or towel holder.
Thank you. Funny, you are like the 4th person who mentioned the toaster. Been using it everyday for over a year with no issues. Think it is farther away than it looks in the video.
@@drivetheglobe you're welcome. I'm glad you haven't had any issues yet. Due to my profession I am hardwired to notice hazardous situations and I still see easy fire scenarios though my catastrophe jaded eyes FYI: Scenario 1) the toaster malfunctions and toasts you're food too long (happens more often than you would think), food catches fire, fire goes up and hits the towels and then you really have a fire. Scenario 2) Towel roll gets used by a less than cautious guest while the toaster is toasting, just used roll ends up draping a bit too low and you have a fire Regardless or your fire hazard of a kitchen, I do enjoy what you're doing ;) ... And yes, I know that I can be a persistent pain sometimes, but it's well meant so please don't be offended LOL. Toaster fire: ruclips.net/video/LydIRnb-F1E/видео.html
WOW!! You did a phenomenal job on this tiny home. It has so much character and I love how you made it look like an actual home not a camper. I could live in this! Lol!
Thank you for sharing your setup with everyone.it gives me something to think about and put on my bucket list.this woukd be awesome travel the world in ... Money doesnt buy hapiness they say ...
Regardless of 8-week project timeframe, this is probably the most badass well designed vehicles I’ve ever seen. You can tell you put thought into every inch. This is amazing.
Thanks man, appreciate the support.
I'm a trim/finish carpenter who's been in the game for a good while. I've worked on VERY expensive homes and I am considered a B- grade carpenter. (There are like 50 A+ carpenters in North America, in my opinion.) Anyway, I couldn't do this in 8 weeks reliably, by myself. It's not something I would take on with a contract if I couldn't have at least a remedial grade helper. Whoever you are, whatever your background, you are a fucking beast. Hats off.
Thanks! I was in beast mode building it in 2 months for sure.
@@drivetheglobe ...Ex master apprentice here who can totally concur. Seen teams of day labor and government subsidized union workers take longer to do less quality in commercial rental space and contemporary yuppie hives...aka _condos._
@@londonuntergunther252 They also have a much larger responsibility, regulations, insurance etc. when building for someone else. It’s not the same.
Was thinking the same thing. Took me two hours today to make a few cuts and glue cedar strips on a small RV wall. Beast mode for sure... LoL
it means ur a D grade carpenter
This is an awesome layout. I like that the toilet and shower are away from the kitchen. One of the best I’ve seen.
Thank you. Appreciate the support.
Nicest kitchen I've seen on an RV, and also only one who uses IKEA.
Thank you. Wanted to try something different with Ikea, so far I love it.
Love the kitchen and shower but my favourite is the ceiling,this is exactly how I imagined my setup.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
I saw this and thought,.. Oh Im probably not going to like this one,....when in fact im floored!! This is a magnificent build... wardrobe, bed, COOL ASS TOULET!, SHOWER!! WOW, Awesome job!!
Thank you! Appreciate the support.
This is beautiful, and it has everything you need.
Thank you!
This has to be the most incredible rig I've ever seen, well thought out and beautiful.
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
The Star Wars light sold me! 👍👏👏👏👏
Ha ha. Love it too!
Do you do most of the work yourself?
The inside looks more like a tiny house almost. Amazing how original it looks even with the pre-made furniture. The hooks on the drawers of the Ikea table added so much character! Loved it!
Thank you!
I love it. I know big expensive overland rigs get alot of hate....im absolutely not one of those at all. I would buy one if I could.
Thank you, they do get a little hate once in awhile 😂Thanks for watching and hope you get one some day.
@@drivetheglobe Life is too short to focus on hate. FMTV (LMTV) the world !

Thank you. Really appreciate it. So far loving it on the road full time.
Very interesting. I would live in there forever. Mobile with decent toilet and shower , very good kitchen and so many windows, I like it.
Thank you appreciate it.
Finally someone else who realizes the importance of having a sink in the bathroom instead of just using the kitchen sink.
Lovin the bathroom sink!!
What a beautiful ADV, Home Truck! So unique.
Thank you!
You're living my dream dude and you've inspired me to make it a reality.

I love the IKEA Star Wars light, was a favorite of my son in his Star Wars times. Really great vehicle.
Thank you! It is a cool light.
You are the inspiration for my build from the moment I saw this rig
Best of luck with your build.
Best ever overland vehicle I have seen on the internet so far ! Great work ! You are an inspiration !

The more research I do on a home on wheels, the more I think a military truck is my best bet. I want something I can take comfortably to the territories in Canada.
They are a good option
That borg light is dope.
Ha. Yes it is!
My family and I we were coming from camping when we saw you on I-95 passing through Connecticut.
On the way back from @overlandexpo heading toward Massachusetts.
His stove and sink could get you a round trip ticket to Thailand lol
Just maybe…
Very beautiful, Very impressive, To the point, All in one, Like a home, Enjoy Bro!
👌👍
Thanks!
Now that you have the new truck, you should do a lessons learned and wear and tear follow up.
Great idea!
Hey thats my air conditioner.... it barely uses electricity... love it
Ha, thats too funny!! It is pretty efficient and is working great for this tiny house.
As a Swede 🇸🇪 my self , I’m pretty impressed that furniture from IKEA works in Overland truck(s).
What a great job you’ve done !!
Drive safe , drive far 🚚💨💨💨
Thank you very much! And I am loving the Ikea stuff!
Thats nicer than my house, great job, wish you well on your adventures
Thank you! Appreciate the support.
Great looking build! I do hope you modify the significant fire hazard of locating your paper towels immediately above the toaster. Imagine waking up weary eyed, toasting some bread and then moving off to do some other task. You then turn around to discover your entire kitchen on fire. Easy fix, just relocate the toaster or towel holder.
Thank you. Funny, you are like the 4th person who mentioned the toaster. Been using it everyday for over a year with no issues. Think it is farther away than it looks in the video.
@@drivetheglobe you're welcome. I'm glad you haven't had any issues yet. Due to my profession I am hardwired to notice hazardous situations and I still see easy fire scenarios though my catastrophe jaded eyes FYI: Scenario 1) the toaster malfunctions and toasts you're food too long (happens more often than you would think), food catches fire, fire goes up and hits the towels and then you really have a fire. Scenario 2) Towel roll gets used by a less than cautious guest while the toaster is toasting, just used roll ends up draping a bit too low and you have a fire Regardless or your fire hazard of a kitchen, I do enjoy what you're doing ;) ... And yes, I know that I can be a persistent pain sometimes, but it's well meant so please don't be offended LOL.
