I think this is the best Unimog overlanding truck in the world, but I am a bit biased.

- Join me for a guided tour of our Unimog U1250 which we use to travel around Australia, taking photos in the most remote places we can visit. It is a small truck, so that means we can take it on the tight tracks most big trucks can't fit on, yet we are fully self-contained for weeks of independent travel, and we have lived in the truck for more than nine months.
We built our Overlander on an old Unimog Road-Rail service truck chassis. It took us six years to build, and we have been doing trips to the most remote place in Australia for another six years. Once all the borders are open, we hope to take our truck around the world .
We love traveling to remote places, to create unique photos. If you want to see more from my photo shoots, I post daily photos here.

My husband and his pal Abe were duly impressed. Both being engineers were in awe of the work done, its quality and the dedication needed to achieve your goals. They are envious and also ashamed that their own car rebuilds are taking so long and not nearly as complex. A great video and interestingly narrated as well. You two are so admirable. I have always followed you on FaceBook and been absolutely in awe of this project but never fully understood exactly how much work it had entailed. You two are truly marvels.
Thanks, we really appreciate your comments.
Ian is not only a very clever man but quite lucky to have a partner who shares his love of the outdoors and photography .
We were always meant for each other, been together for 36 year. We both love what we do.
@@UnimogAdventures Most people think they are free until they walk in your shoes and discover what freedom can really be.
You're living life to the full and enjoying the feeling fully , which is much more than a 3 dimensional experience
It's a dream - the truck, your knowhow, and, last but not least, you both as a couple. I would sign a paper confirming this vehicle as the best Unimog in the world. Best of all - it's not too big! All the best from MM RickThe Mysticat
Thanks Rick, I agree 100%
As a couple, you two make quite the team.. from design to execution the truck looks great and then add in your trips with Ian's photography and Trish's modelling.. it all makes for really enjoyable viewing. Thanks for explaining everything in this nicely done video.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Хорошая, хорошая!
Машина тоже понравилась.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your amazing work and detail on your truck, it’s an absolute credit to you both and what a incredible job you have done, can only imagine how much enjoyment you have touring around in it, really enjoy your adventures and photography, thanks again for sharing with us.
Our pleasure, thanks for watching.
Wow!! I'm blown away with not only the work put into the truck, but also the attention to detail. That is one mammoth effort and wonderfully presented. You have now made a lot of people very envious.
Enjoy your travels. You have certainly earned it.
Thank you very much!
Ditto...bloody amazing!
@@rickgill3496 Thanks
Wow!!!!!!!!!
This is right up my valley! I just love how much thought you both have put into the design, and then manage to see it come to reality!
I neither have the time or the work place to do this on my own, but I keep the dream alive...... ❤️
Thank You for sharing!!!!
Thanks for the compliments, it was worth the effort we put in.
Amazing to see how much you have packed into the Mog, very interesting and informative video demonstrating your enthusiasm and skills. I enjoy watching your travels and the breathtaking scenery thank you for your commitment and sharing your journey with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the compliments.
Great tour!! I can tell Ian knows his trade and a very high standard of workmanship throughout. Love your videos, makes me want to tour Australia.
He is an Engineer, but loves to work with his hands as well. Australia is a great place, so much to see.
I must congratulate you on building such a wonderful craft. This is probably the best I have ever seen in this range. Hats off to your husband for all his hard work and dedication Anthony
Thank you Anthony, we really appreciate your comments.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! Such a nice build you must be very proud of your accomplishment. I appreciate all of the details put into this and thought behind it. Thank you for sharing a most inspirational design.
Thanks, appreciate you comments. Iain put a lot of thought into the truck, and it works great for us.
Thank you both for making that video. The fit out of your truck is great and shows that you put a lot of thought into making it very fit for purpose. There are many ideas that I will take on board for my own travels. I have seen most of your videos and I think this is the longest one, but the story is well worth telling and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you very much 👍👍👍.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Six years to build the beast. A lot of hard work and focus. Great vid, thanks.

Mighty impressive! Wow. What a great ride. I have a good friend here in South Africa who has also built up a Mog - took him a decade. That thing just goes absolutely everywhere. I have just sent him the video link as I know he will love this.
Thanks, appreciate the compliments. Hope your friend has a great time with his Unimog as well.
@@UnimogAdventures he belongs to a Mog club, they do regular getaways. He actually invited me with this coming weekend but some of us are working so next time.
Stunning work guys.enjoy…

You are so kind
Wow guys I really can't believe what yous have done that's absolutely awesome guys
Thanks Danny.
Ian is a very clever man. This is a really well thought out design. I prefer it to the factory designs. Well done.
He has good taste in women too. You both really represent fun, freedom and adventure.
Thanks Bob. We spent a lot of time designing our camper, it is a small space but works well for us
Awesome to see a rig like this that's actually been built by its owners rather than farmed out to be built
Thanks, we love our truck, and we know how to fix it as well.
You guys have done an impressive job of building that overlander....the thought you have put into everything is incredible...well done...
Thanks, Iain tried to think of everything,
You’re a brilliantly clever couple. The design and build is just fantastic.
Thank you, it works well for us.
Love the headroom. Great that you can both kneel on the bed.
Yes, was one thing that was very important to us.
felicitaciones.... que experiencia. viajar por el mundo y sus carreteras.
Gracias por ver
Ian, you are a very clever guy. Well done!
Thank you kindly
Great work it looks amazing.
Thanks
Fantastic travels and very similar to our own trips (and life). Amazing camera work and very well narrated. One of our most favourite channels to watch and look forward to every new video.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy the videos.
Wow! What an amazing build! Thank you for sharing your dream!
Thanks for watching.
@@UnimogAdventures you are most welcome. I am absolutely amazed about the country. I tend to only visit NSW as most of my rellies live there. I think I might go further afield on my next visit. That is when this lockdown subsides. Thank you for sharing your wonderful trips! Cheers
@@josef56 so much to see up north, you need few months to see even part of it.
@@UnimogAdventures Iain & Trish I was hoping you would give me a lead on the folding campaign chairs. I do WWI camp displays and these chairs would fit in. I looked on line but I haven’t been able to source them. Cheers, Joe
@@josef56 HI Joe. this is where I got them from gurams.com/product/martin-chair/
Wow thankyou for sharing your Unimog setup, lost for words congratulations on all your hard work and meticulous engineering please stay safe and enjoy your travels 👍
Thank you very much, it was worth all the effort.
Love what you have done to set up the Unimog. I have done similar over the years, but on a much smaller scale, to a couple of Hilux's, Ian has done a great job. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Cape York, first one since 2000, this time with a camper trailer.
Enjoy the trip, hpefully not to man people up there at the same time

Thanks
Love your truck! I'm a yank from Wyoming. I met a fellow in the early 80s who was here shearing sheep. I gave him my spare bedroom, as he was sleeping in his car. In 2016, he called me up and said he'd just bought a station out on the Darling river, and would I like to come over and help move things out there? Keep in mind, I hadn't heard from him in 35 years, or more. I said of course. When I got off the plane in Sydney, I finaly vaugly remembered who he was. He is a wool broker, and very succesful. Their home place is between Dubbo and Orange, and he also has a station at Brewarnia. He put me in a 24 ft flatbed truck, and after a trip to the station at Tilpa,
I started on my own. I had NEVER been through a roundabout, and I'm driving on the wrong side of the road, going through Dubbo, Nygan, Cobar, and 70 miles later, turn onto a dirt road for another 30 miles. We had a stock crate we could put on as well, so I was either hauling cows or sheep, or supplies to Tilpa or Bre. Watching your videos has really made me want to go back. I was there for 6 months, minus the 2 weeks I spent in NZ. I'm hoping to go back over a year from now, buy a Ute, outfit it with spare petrol tanks and some way to carry water, throw my swag and whatnot on, and travel. Keep doing those great video's, I'll keep watching. If you go to RUclips, punch in Downunder, and my name. I'm a songwriter and singer, and wrote it when I was there last. Cheer'r mate, and hope to see you on the road!

Thanks Hub
EPIC!!
Thanks
🤨 Awesome, thanks Ian….. You not only get to photograph and video some very attractive nature scenes (and probably get your breakfast made by one of them), but you also rebuilt the MOG engine, did the bodywork, designed and built the box with all its neat features and maximum use of space and engineered the power and water supply systems. AND travel to some beautiful places…..
That’s just plain greedy…..
Seriously, fantastic work and I’m envious of your abilities. I’d handle the engine and portals ok but not the rest of it. And Trish, great work with the sewing machine, what an awesome annexe. What a great team you make.
LOL, Lots of hard work went into the truck, but now we get the fun of doing what we love. Thanks for the compliments, glad you enjoyed the video
WOW…WOW…WOW! Truly amazing, Great Job to the both of you 👏🏻. I am really enjoying my travels and adventures with the both of you. Excellent video documentation and production work. Thanks Again and Great Job… Lots of Luck, Health and fun on your travel, stay safe.🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for watching, keep safe as well.
Great work guys, very helpful insight into how your motorhome works
Thanks, glad you like the video
Extremely well done! Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you, glad you liked it
Cool Camper !
Thanks
Outstanding job! Great vision. Plus the photos of you are outstanding, the surroundings, plus your beauty!
Thank you, and thanks for watching
Professional 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Love your truck you all did a great job. I have watched you travel to several locations in your country. I had thought I would want to come vacation in Australia until I started watching what was going in in Queensland. Looks like you have a dictator there, even the new one.
Thanks for watching, things will settle down soon and it will be back to normal.
