The Overland show Germany (Bad Kissengen) has long been on the list, and if there's one thing the Germans do really well, it's an Overland show.
As it's the 25th anniversary of the show, there was no better time to explore the Adventure and Offroad (Abenteuer & Allrad) exhibits - from the humble roof tent to the big rigs exceeding 1 million Euros and everything in between.
In this video, we share costs, tips and useful information as well as our own thoughts on the show.

Oh my word. That’s bonkers money 😮

@sevevl 4 месяца назад

and yes you have make an Italian Job type of burglary to afford it mate...

@overlandingomar Год назад

Thank you so much for the video. One day I’ll go to the show. The Germans really seem to know how to do everything Overlanding. Having said that the prices are eye watering, so I’ll keep plodding on building my camper and feel good knowing I’m saving a fortune!

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Definitely go if you get the chance. You’re so spot on, yes they do it well but silly money. I hear you, we're definitely in the same camp. 👍🏻😀

@MogsAndDogs Год назад

Thanks for showing us around - wish we had something like this in the states.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

My pleasure, surprised you don't, you'd love all the Unimog's with every rising roof, pop top, interior layout you can imagine. 🙏😀

@askthechicken Год назад

Great vid- so interesting to glimpse all the variations of trucks- but crazy monies 😮

@Colorado4x4Van Год назад

Thank you for the tour! We did the "Willy's" meet-up in 2020, but hope to see this one someday as well. I've said it here in the US too: Who can afford all of this? Lol...apparently many can.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

My pleasure, it's all gone a little crazy. but clearly driven by demand 😳 I'm all for keeping it simple. 🙏

@richardsicard8890 Год назад

Great video, eye watering prices! Thanks for sharing, a real insight into the way travel is heading. Thanks again.

@JohnGallacher-mw4wb Год назад

Great show thank you.

Very good show lots to see.

@TheGapDecaders 8 месяцев назад

Definitely 🙏😀

@livingworkingoutsidebox Год назад

Great video. So true with the prices. Not to mention there seems to be an Allrad or Expedition tax of 80% or higher. 😮 I see a diy book in your future showing people how to build their own. 😊

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Thank you, yeah the prices have gone crazy but clearly driven by demand. Re; Book - I don't think there's enough hours in my day 😀 🙏

no worries, not normally my scene but thought they we're so innovative 😀

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi both, thank you. Hope you’re enjoying summer in the Hymer

@gordonbryson2986 Год назад

Yeah we're in Preston just now getting a rear protection bar fitted then off to catch the newhaven to dieppe ferry next week Then to Aldi for cheap red wine and our adventure begins take careguys

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

@@gordonbryson2986 fantastic, pleased to hear you're getting away. Nothing like a glass of red (and a cheese & cracker) whilst taking in the French scenery. Enjoy 🍷😀

@peterfinch3548 Год назад

Kids in a sweetshop! The number of rigs and accessories looks bewildering. I really look forward to seeing what you have learnt from the show and translating into Tonka II. Thanks for sharing your 4 days with us.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi Peter, nail on the head 😀. Yep, it was bewildering (particularly the asking prices) however it definitely solidified our design layout. 🙏😀

@intellectualgladiata Год назад

We'll be at next years event to consider our options. 5 years ago when we started mapping out our retirement plans we budgeted a certain amount for a vehicle and cannot believe the rate at which the costs have gone up in that time.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

The whole overland scene has always been up there, but since the Pandemic it's got silly. Even trying to source a base vehicle at reasonable money has become a challenge, Good luck 👍🏻😀

@WoodcockFamilyOverland Год назад

Looks epic a feast for the eyes for sure! We are hoping to go in a couple of years, looking forward to the camp area to see the rigs that people are actually using. We are hoping that when we go there will be someone coming to the end of their world trip and looking to sell their rig 🙏

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

If you're remotely interested in all things overland travel, it's gotta be done. If you're seriously looking to purchase a rig, come to the Camp area and choose from the many on sale from good DIY to professional builds. 👍🏻😀

@WoodcockFamilyOverland Год назад

@@TheGapDecaders Yes exactly that as much as we all wish we could afford the insane brand new builds!

@brianjacobs8839 5 месяцев назад

Enjoyed your videos. Very informative. Thanks! I emailed some of these companies for price estimates. Yeah the prices makes you cough up your coffee😂. But they have the customer base and the demand is there, and it's quality products. They have willing wealthy payers. While selling the house ain't a problem, the lead times are potential dealbreakers. I reckon I'll have to settle for a ten year Toyota Land Cruiser and off road caravan for now. Happy travels!

@TheGapDecaders 4 месяца назад

It's true and prices are going up as much as 10% year on year with 2-4 year lead times being the norm. Love a Toyota land cruiser 👍🏻☺

@michaelgarcher Год назад

Hey Phil and Izzy, love watching your travels etc on your channel, very inspirational, only wish I could do this myself. This particular episode shows some great overlanders etc but highlights the extreme costs involved :( . I love your truck BTW !!!

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi Michael, thank you...really appreciate you saying so. Yep crazy silly prices, I couldn’t bring myself to spend that sort of money (even if we had it). We're looking to keep it a little more modest 😀

@michaelgarcher Год назад

@@TheGapDecaders we're off to France soon for a few weeks, in our campervan, first of many we hope. I'm trying to talk the wife into Morocco, but we are starting simple with France for now.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

@@michaelgarcher Hi Michael, sounds good and it's hard to beat France when the sun's shining, we love it. Good luck with the Morocco persuasion, maybe broach the subject when it's cold and pouring down 🤣👍🏻

@PenelopetheTruck Год назад

That was a really detailed overview thanks both. We both cannot believe the prices, I think if we were ever to consider another build we'd definitely do it ourselves again even though it's a chore. Looking forward to the camp show around! 👍

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Cheers guy's, yeah it's all gone a bit crazy. We're the same, next year it all begins 😀

@daveroberts-bridgnorth Год назад

I wondered as the video progressed if you were seriously looking with a view to changing. From your reply above you are. Will you look to change just the box or the whole vehicle?

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

@@daveroberts-bridgnorth Hi Dave, we decided about 9 months ago that we wanted to build a rig from scratch...there's other factors taking us home which we'll cover in a future video. However, our sole reason for coming to the show was to solidify our thinking and design. It'll be a complete build, we love our truck & have procrastinated for ages on this one. But, we're only going to do this once and I fancy doing it from the ground up, so sadly our rig will go on the market early next year. And then the pain really begins 😬

@Overlandtravelling Год назад

Hey Phil and Izzy, Great production very enjoyable 😊 It was fantastic meeting you both and spend time together we hope to see you again. Jeff & Emma

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi both, thank you. Yeah, really enjoyed meeting you guys, love the rig and hopefully we'll crossed paths further south. Appreciate the advice Jeff, 👍🏻😀

@spirit5_of_adventure Год назад

Awesome video as always guys. It was so lovely to meet you both. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the gorgeous meal. Hope to see you somewhere in the future. Safe travels.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi guys, it was our pleasure and thanks for the shout out. I'm sure we will, but in the meantime there's a lot that’s gotta happen 😁👍🏻🚚

@reveandrobl4906 Год назад

Excellent job showcasing such an enormous expedition. Very interested to see what you came away with as ideas for any possible changes you might/ would like to make to your own set up.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Thank you, it's so full on during the show with influences at every turn. Our intent is to build another rig, that was the reason for attending the show. Putting the crazy prices to one side, it's certainly clarified our future intent. 😀

@user-yx3es2wz8k Год назад

great video , thanks

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Thank you, appreciate you saying so 🙏😀

@Coddiwomple4x4 Год назад

Thanks for the video, was bringing back memories 😊 Aren’t you guys looking for a new rig? Maybe another option is re-using the MAN with a new box (maybe designed with help from Fabhabs) and find a builder with reasonable pricing? Hope to see the camp-walk video soon, looking forward to it.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Thanks Pascal, we'd talked about doing exactly that, but we're both keen to do one build from the ground up, a little daunting but we like a challenge. We already know our preferred layout so we'll probably use Tom for the interior technical design. 🙏😀

@Coddiwomple4x4 Год назад

@@TheGapDecaders Ah OK, so you are going to do the same as us. We got our camper based on a MB814 (shorter version than Uwe & Renate), but want to build a new cabine when retirement is close. Already found a builder (5km from home) and we know the layout. Already discussed it with them and we know a ballpark price (very reasonable). Might ask Tom in a few years time to help us, let us know how your experiences with him are when you guys start the process. Good luck 👍🏻

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

@@Coddiwomple4x4 Sounds like you’re well ahead in terms of planning, yep I'll do that 🙏😀

@rokaskarpis6225 10 месяцев назад

Great info! Could you tell us where and when and which exhibitions are worth while visiting for over landing pls?

@TheGapDecaders 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, the Abenteuer Allrad event in Bad Kissingen is superb and the dates for the 2024 event are 30 May - 2 June and book tickets online early. This event is vast and you just need to experience it, depending on what you're into. Or there's the Adventure Southside in southern Germany 19 - 21 July 2024 Or the Caravan Salon, Dusseldorf, Germany from the 30 August - 8 September 2024 If you jump on Facebook, there's also a "4x4 calendar Europe" listing events including the Adventure Overland show- Stratford - upon-Avon 13-15 Sep 2024 Hope that helps 👍🏻

@julianwithers1256 Год назад

Great video again. I'd love to get to see it some time in the near future. Did you happen to come across any companies making bespoke rims by any chance? We are looking for our Fuso and struggling to find a company in the UK that can make them for us. It seems to be a one stop shop for everything overland.

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi Julia, thank you. Very possibly, try a company called "Corint" in Germany, they specialise in offroad tyres & rims. Have you explored the Hutchinson option, there's a number of countries (certainly NL & Germany) who supply, it's gotta be worth a phone call and even if they can't help...see if they can point you in the right direction (without shipping from Australia) 😀 Good luck 👍🏻

@julianwithers1256 Год назад

@@TheGapDecaders Thanks for that. Really useful. I didnt know about Hutchinson. I Have considered the Oz route as AAV specialise in Fuso rims but something closer to home would be a better option I think. Enjoy your onward travels.

@lynn3051 Год назад

Wow great to see so much variety, but no keen on the prices though 😂🫣

@justinlinnane8043 Год назад

Great to see all the incredible creations but I do think its all a bit over the top no ? Almost like imperialism on 4x4 wheels and not really the best way to visit the poorer regions of the world ? I'd prefer a far more modest way of travelling off the beaten track and to merge more inconspicuously with places and people I see on the way . I think you've judged it just about right with your rig . Capable but not too ostentatious

@TheGapDecaders Год назад

Hi Justin, well observed and I have to agree. We've met many wealthy overlanders on our travels however some purposely choose an old truck (ensure it's mechanically sound) and are just that...sensitive to the world around them and keep it modest. Appreciate you thoughts 👍🏻
