Like I mentioned on Instagram, this rig gives me goosebumps….i really Really REALLY LIKE IT!
“It’s smart knowing that a tomato is a fruit, it wise knowing not to put it in a fruit salad”….truer words were never spoken buddy!
Always my best to you two 👍🏼👏🏼🖖🏼🥰
Thought you might like that 😉👍
Joe is so helpful.
Great video, great filming. I saw the tour video already & it was nice to see this showing how it actually functions in different situations. Those outside lights sure made it easy to see when pulling into that spot at night. Nicely done guys, if I was Storyteller Overland I would be extremely pleased with this video.
As always thank you so much Bonnie!
Awesome video in an awesome monster truck camper by an awesome couple of travelers! Good job taking the R66 from Oatman to Kingston. That road is something else!
This is definitely my 'if I win the lottery' vehicle but I feel like with all of that work they put into it, they could have added at least 2-3 more inches to the over-cab bed based on looking at the profile. I can sit up completely in my Winnebago Warrior overcab bed :)
I didn’t realize how big the rv is until you stood next to the truck.
Gotta say I love that fresh water supply as I love clean dishes. Though for $450K I'd want the option to lose storage space in lieu of a dishwasher drawer. Gone with the Wynns have a great video on deciding to include a dishwasher in their new boat.
What a beautiful vehicle!! This was great fun to travel along with you as you provide a great mix of what you experience in the sights and locations around you and the rig you are traveling in. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You get the 4x and she gets to wash dishes! Sounds like a winner to me.i like it better then the slidein for sure!
Wow! What a beauty of a rig!
It was lovely to watch your journey, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, love this set up, Love the Russos. Thanks for having us on this tour.
Thank you Scott!
Greetings and Gute Reise...Sehr schöner RAM Camper mit vielen Fenstern zum raus schauen.
Don’t know where that $450k is? Seems like that would be a show stopping for most folks. One other comment, it seemed scary unstable when you were pulling out of that boondocking spot on your way to Kingman!!
I would love to travel all ovver America in that beast,,,DREAMING
Great tour of the Hilt! Got a good chuckle when you pulled into the same Thalypo gas station I stopped at in April ... I did a double take on the drop in fuel prices.
Pretty cool that Story Teller let you guys use this for a week. It looked a little top heavy when you were leaving that first campsite.
I've watched a number of youtube videos about the hilt but I really enjoyed your style and perspective! Nice job!
I appreciate that!
I love your videos. Especially all of the places you 2 have been over the years and all the different foods you tried whether it’s international or here in the USA. I especially like the cooking videos and motorcycle rides with Joe. Those are my favorite. You guys are amazing and keep up the great work with this wonderful channel. Can’t wait for the next one
Thank you so much!
I love your content! I get a real world "living in" feel on this rig! I have the sportsmobile van and can only imagine how the size of this wonderful vehicle affects in town challenges to negotiate roadways and parking. Thank you for reviewing this in the "Russo Style"!!
Glad you enjoy it!
This looks amazing. Glad you guys got a chance to try it out. Hopefully this won’t be your last time. Keep up the excellent videos. Love your content. Thanks, again. ❤
Thank you!
The industry is getting closer and closer to a perfect rig…..this is really close. Extended cab! Beautiful rear lounge! Plenty of storage! Hard to beat.
Very much agreed
So when do buy buy Kate one? 😂
Diesel exhaust is toxic to human health and bad for the planet. Not even close to a perfect rig. A single oil spill, Deepwater Horizon, killed up to 150,000 sea turtles, over 1,000 Gulf dolphins and countless other marine organisisms. The spilled oil has still not all been cleaned up and the total cost will be well over $100 billion.
Fun, relaxing AAANNNND educational! 🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vlog you two, Joe I just can't wait for the walkthru after Ms Kait gets her early christmas, and birthday present LOL
I honestly expected a 20 point turn around. That was impressive. A big rig like that with such a tight turning radius, wow! I haven’t been in Arizona since spring of 2010. It was nice seeing some of that beautiful Sonora Desert. Cheers!
Thanks! Our friend who's land that was, was shocked that I didn't have to back out of there.
Beautiful rig ❤
aaa dude from a chefs point of wieuw that tomato story was funny...lol
Beautiful truck I love it
Hi to you all. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Hilt 👍🇺🇸 Safe Travels.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love the video. Great, great choice in music when you were cooking and eating dinner. Very nostalgic
God bless love from Colorado.
Thank you! You too!
I know I stated I have seen walk around of these off road vehicles but your testing of it was much better.
Thank you!
😂 I love that you are boiling a bratwurst. Bratwurst literally means "Roasted Sausage" in German. 🤣
0:20 - For when McGyver’ing your way out of a tight situation is no longer good enough!
As usual, great video. Fantastic vehicle, though a bit intimidating. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool rig and competitive price with Earthroamer.
That's a pretty cool rig.
Hey guys, love this video. such a cool truck. Here in the UK we pay £5.60 a gallon. about $7.00
Oatman Arizona seems like a town I'd love to settle in
Hi Joe. Saw you standing by the Hilt at Overland. You were just about to start cooking brats or sausages and I didn't want to bother you by saying hello. Love your content. I'll say hello next time!
Ah you should've come over to just say a quick hello! Next time
Great video as always! Interesting expensive rig. Hard to believe they don’t have a conventional toilet with a black tank, instead has the smallest cassette toilet made! With 4 people you’d be dumping that every day and with more and more restrictions on where you can’t dump cassettes that would be problematic.
Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
We just drove by y’all in payson and immediately looked it up! So cool!
I’m wondering if it was the storyteller crew instead of yall since we were east of flagstaff.
Yeah that would have been the STO crew as we gave it back to them after Flagstaff
Oatman is super cool. Loved Oatman. The burrows are very friendly 😊 That road you took out is WILD, I did it in a Chevy Spark and it was tight 😂. Everything is nice for that price 😮ohhhh she’s expensive. Seligman Is great, Angel the barber literally saved R66 in Arizona. I will say that thing is LIT UP at night 💡💡
You mentioned the turning radius. Are those front axles king pins or ball joint? Amazing vehicle.
nice to travel in such comfort !
You definitely need to go back and do the float trip. We did it in 2017, and it was mind blowing. We had a knowledgeable guide who pointed out some amazing Colorado River features, including Native American petroglyphs!
Next time!
I always enjoy your reviews even though I have no interest in selling my Promaster.
I was interested in this one as we’re in South America and Europeans love huge expedition vehicles ( you can buy them used for $100,000 if they don’t want to ship them). I don’t get the pleasure of dealing with the size but you explain these things really well.
It’s an overland rig now over the road rig. 😂😂😂
6:17
It looks like an old western movie set.
It might be good to mention the reason for the CA gas prices is CA has strict anti pollution measures part of that is gas additives.
If only I could hit the lotto, I’d be driving in style!!!
Nice farmer's tan, Joe! heh
This thing is amazing. It looks like it has tons of space. I could see full timing in this for sure. And you'd have to, at that price tag!
Thanks buddy 😉
heard your latest podcast on this vehicle in the video. a Club Wyndham property stay woukd be a next level of comfort
I think something between your current Storyteller and this rig would be perfect. A real bathroom, designated dining/lounging with a large water tank for dishes and showers.
That would be cool!
I WANT ONE!!!
going up that road at the 7:00 minute mark would have been a great time to have a drone! You could pull over somewhere safe, launch the drone and get a feel for what lies ahead! :-)
Love the content as usual. I was in that region for a job interview in 2000 there is an amazing are culture in Jerome and an epic off road and off grid "hippy:" community living around Sedona you may want to explore in the future. We saw if you told the food places we went to if you were local you got a discount, also it is the home of a special McDonald;s that had to conform to local color and construction stuff to make the store comply with local requrirements
Thanks! We've been through Jerome a few times now and really enjoy the area.
Wow ❤
That RV is Bad...!! Have a great Memorial Day!!🤗🤗🎉🎉👍👍
You as well!
At dinner your music sounded like a Disney movie.
very cool rig safe travels from Iowa
Thanks, you too!
I’m honestly shocked that you guys haven’t been to Page!!!
Well, this is definitely a luxury camping and travel. Are you both becoming ambassadors for the Overlanding outfit? Coming down on the second location after an overnight with the view there was quite a wobble of the truck and the rear cabin maybe it is because of the soft suspension? Good video as usual, cheers.
The RV is state of the art. Excellent video 📹 👏 👍.
Thanks 👍
For that price tag I'm shocked Living Vehicle hasn't stepped into this market segment. The living vehicle has an air to water generator now.
One of your better videos although I miss your mom.
Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇲💥🦅 from #BBQRando & #RanchStaff 🌵
You went to Page and didn't take a tour of Antelope Canyon? That's a "must see" the next time you're there.
At about 1:15 into this video, you mentioned that this vehicle has a crazy turning radius - can you please let us know how the turning radius compares to your current van or the previous truck camper that you had? Also, does the RAM 5500 have a better turning radius compared to the Ford F550? Thanks,
Where was the Flagstaff campsite you stayed in?
That is a beautiful rig. I wonder if the could downsize that to a Fit a Ford Transit like the EKKO
Even downsized, the Transit could never support that kind of weight and the you can’t put more than 31’ tires on the Transit
The 1960's worlds fair music is what makes this montage.
I love that music clip
feasible Arizona 2nd home for two former Californians. Seems similar to having one of those Super Class C RV's
Very true
Did you try the leveling feature using Liquid Spring at a camp site?
This is a prototype and they haven’t added that feature on it yet but the production Hilt’s will have it
Love the Russo's but 450K? I don't know guys!
Just curious what Fanny pack Kait wears. TIA! Great video! 😊
It’s a Storyteller Fanny - I don’t see it on their website yet though
I’m digging this rig, just curious if it’s pre-wired for starlink, as this would be a solid off grid option for my mrs and I
Yes it is pre- wired
So I'm confused..... the main advantage of liquid springs is body control but coming off that campsite it was rocking like crazy. Maybe a wrong setting? Do you remember what seeing it was on?
14:51 😮
I would like to see that in a Ford 7.3L Godzilla
Somebody's doing good, nice camper. Just wondering if you were in 4 low while off roading. I'm rebuilding an old Palomino slide in pop up.
Well we don’t own the camper, just borrowing it. No I wasn’t in 4lo
Great video! Love that rig, people saying it’s only a $100k vehicle don’t realize the truck alone is $100k, anyway are those tires speed rates to 68? And can they change them to the Goodyear?
Exactly. Yes you could put on the Goodyears but from what I’ve heard from others who have used them is that they ride very poorly
❤
Do the steps automatically close when you start the engine?
Yes or you can set it to close when the door is closed
Impressive rig, with a way too impressive price tag! I wonder what they go for used? 😅
No idea as there are none on the used market yet. May take at least a year or two
Wow. I remember reading your first book and dreaming of being able to financially follow in your footsteps. You guys worked hard to make it on a small budget.
However, this RV is neither affordable or practical to the average RVer. I guess your new demographic is people with $5M in the bank. Good Luck!
Why didn't you guys take Kenny from Moving Forward Adventures? Sharing is caring. 😂😂😂
Now a storyteller chanel marketing channel... I would like to see reviews of the $500k the $750k $1m and $1.5m models. Maybe ever do something on the $1b model. I mean, why not ......
I enjoy washing dishes and cannot stand dishes piling up in the sink! Does Kait use dishwasher?
Rarely
Looks like Kate has new friends.
Pretty much!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tech has come a long way in everything except lowering prices for some reason 😂 things are crazy expensive these days and there are states that still have sub $8 minimum wage..
I'm surprised the GXV doesn't have built in stabilizing jacks.
Ours was a prototype but on the production version you can level the camper using the hydraulic suspension
Just heard yesterday that Earth Roamer is shutting down. I think this market may be too small for so many manufacturers making these half million dollar rigs.
Are you thinking of EarthCruiser?
120 gallons of fresh water, 40 gallons of grey water? Where does the rest of the fresh water end up? Also, $450k and a cassette toilet? You’ve got to be kidding.
The grey tank is there for when you are somewhere you can't dump it so you don't need as much space. Also, cassette toilets are very practical and easy to use. Think man.
Is Cat still your editor? Hi Cat!!!
Unfortunately not - she hasn’t been for a few years now
the first challenge is not to wreck it
I would think the Hilt would have auto-leveling with such an advanced suspension system. That's a pretty big miss at this price point.
It will - this was a prototype and didn’t have the software upgrade yet
Why does Kait always have to wash the dishes? LOL
She doesn’t have to, she wants to. She enjoys it
@@Weretherussos She's gold.
Question where do people go all the time
What do you mean?
Where are these vehicles used ?
Everywhere from national forests and parks to campgrounds and around the world. People ship them to different continents and travel everywhere in them
