Part 1 of our EarthRoamer on a budget build series. We transform this empty box into a homey but very off-road capable overlanding & expedition vehicle in TWO months! We started with a RAM 5500 chassis cab then had a 14ft Morgan box mounted on the back with intentions to make this our next adventure home on wheels. We recap our experience buying the truck & box but run into some unforeseen problems both in the buying process AND you won't believe what happened when we finally get the box truck back in our possession after sitting at the factory for several months. Join us as we begin this crazy adventure and do our best to tell the story of MACHO as it unfolds.

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

Welcome to the family!! Hope you stick around for a while! Say hey if you see us on the road, we plan to be at the next skoolie also!

Man Cabo looks so cool!! That Morgan company might make a decent box but man is their customer service absolutely terrible. I hate yall went through all that BS with them

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

That seems to be the trend with companies these days! We will show you around Cabo this winter!😁

@burningheartsministriesmis1488 Год назад

I think I saw you guys in Yellowstone a little over a week ago. We’re you there? We’re adventures in Pop Ups on RU-vid ❤ blessings

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

We were not there. We have been in Oregon for July. I’ll check y’all out. Thanks for watching!

@pattiauburn9109 2 года назад

Nice to see you back. I missed your weekly videos. Looking forward to seeing Macho develop.

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Nice to see you’re still around too Patti! Thanks for coming back :) Appreciate your support, hope all is well. Cheers! See you Sunday!!

A family of 5 watching you from the UK and been planning our van build for our European road trips, you are a great inspiration. Its a shame we don't have these big pick up trucks here, so we are planning on using a box van to attempt a build to seat and sleep 5. I would be binging on all your build videos to learn everything. Would be following you on all your journeys, its great fun.

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

It CAN be done for 5! We’ve seen other families, esp abroad, doing it. Just have to get creative with sleeping arrangements. Wishing you the best of luck! This is the best thing we’ve ever done for our family of 4 :) Appreciate your support and thanks for watching! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions- can DM us on IG or FB :) or our website www.overlanduncharted.com

Awesome guys, met you at the overland expo last week and chatted with you Kurt for about an hour Saturday evening. Was looking forward to watching this build and here we are with part 1.

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Nice, you found us! Thanks for watching and joining our journey. Enjoyed talking with you at expo!

@Hayesville-Happy-Feet 2 года назад

Great video. From buying the 5500 RAM to getting it fitted with a box. There’s no pulling a camper or driving a motor home that’s a city block long & fits virtually no where. A real Earthroamer costs $1.9 m plus options. Building your own custom home on wheels that will probably go anywhere the Earthroamer can go is a smart alternative.

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Thanks!! Good points made there. Plus we know where every nut & bolt is should something need repair. sounds like a win win to me! Thanks for watching 🙏❤️

@chazzie5418 2 года назад

it's good to see you folks back again. it sucks about the tire and the dents . hopefully it all worked out. looking forward to the rest of the build. good luck and enjoy😊

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Thanks buddy! Yes, indeed another unfortunate situation. Don't know why this always happens to us! lol. Appreciate your support though, cheers!!

@jabrobbins 2 года назад

You did such a good job on BiG Red. I’m looking forward to your build

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Thank you so much! Appreciate your support. Stay tuned, there’s a lot that unfolds in just two months!

@martykong3592 2 года назад

WOW! So sorry for your early challenges :( BUT I am sure Kurt and you will figure it all out! THANKS SO MUCH for being back! ALL THE BEST and look forward to more videos and updates! Cheers from PNWest! Still soggy here :( Cheers!!! :)

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Hey Marty! Appreciate your well wishes. Welcome back!!! :) Hope to make it back to the PNW this summer.

Had the boys been on a plane before?

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Nope! First time for everything! They loved it.

I want to build a box truck to use on a remote ranch and on BLM land to graze livestock on (cattle,sheep,goats) on and to pull a complete portable Veterinary Clinic on wheels and to be self contained and also have room and be able to carry extra water and to carry scientific equipment to do earth science research and together scientific data, that can be published and also used for educational purposes. I have also been looking in to buying a new box truck and trying to compare the costs and the hidden costs of a new box truck to a used box truck. But I am only a college student. Both the box truck and the portable Veterinary Clinic on wheels has to be securely built because it will be used in areas that are there are mountain lions,bears,and wolfs. Nights and Days filled with possible wildlife encounters. Regards Hope

@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад

Sounds like a awesome setup! Good luck finding something that will work for you. Thank you for watching!

@AerialDomeVideography Год назад

What size of box did you get installed? And what dry weight did it add

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

It’s a morgan landscaping box. 14 long 8 tall and wide. The box weighs about 2500lbs

@hanklee6529 Год назад

Why not put on a flatbed truck camper and call it a day?

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

We didn’t want to do that. RV quality sucks for the most part and rather built it out to our specs.

@hanklee6529 Год назад

@@OverlandUncharted OK, I get that. But you lose the sleep space over the cab with the box vs a camper. I plan on doing my own poor man's earthroamer with a used F350 and customized truck camper. Good luck with your build.

@OverlandUncharted Год назад

We didn’t lose sleeping space over the cab. We could have got a attic on our box but it didn’t make sense to have it the way we wanted it laid out. That is another reason we went with this design. It just work perfect for us. 😁good luck on your build!
