The pictures of the previous build in it looked really cool too. Loved the aesthetic. Cant imagine what this one looks like. Going to continue the video now.
If you are stuck in the sand and there’s nothing to tie up to winch out if you have a shovel and a spare tire dig a hole bout three four feet in the sand hook winch to spare wheel and burry the wheel and winch out I got stuck in the desert and so did two tow truck drivers and this is how they got us out
Most killer build!!! The only thing missing is solar, add that to the front of the roof area and I’ll take one when it’s done! Haha. Definitely a BEAST. Nice work🙌🏽
That’s super dope. My only concerned about the artificial grass on top of the roof. Will it be able to dried out without leaving a moldy smell or causing the roof to deteriorate.
I’d like this in white, feel like the dark colors might make it hot. Also the turf on top seems cool but I’d assume that would get pretty hot as well especially in direct sunlight allday
It's a nice vehicle. But I'm just wondering, after 6 months of s***Hit the fan, where are you going to get fuel from? That's if someone doesn't take it from you before then!
A gallon of water weighs 8.9 lbs. 58 gallons of freshwater capacity is about average for a mid-size 5thW. With a raised suspension, driving a rig like this on the highway, at 65 mph, while carrying a max load of water probably is not a great idea. You can do what you want, but some manufacturers, like Jayco and its liability carrier for instance, will deny warranty and insurance coverage for any accidents where its insured vehicle was carrying in excess of 25% of a full tank of water. It alters the center of gravity to such a degree, they consider the rig unsafe for the highway.
@@hmmm2564 You may be right. But, your particular insurance carrier may not agree. Unless you pay extra for a rider covering your home made or prototype RV, your rig will probably be lumped in with all other RVs. I did say a full freshwater tank "probably is not a great idea. You can do what you want." I do agree with you that if you want to have a full tank of freshwater, one should fill the tank as close as possible to your final destination. I believe Jayco has recently amended its warranty to allow for 5 gallons of freshwater. This would provide enough overnight dry camp water to brush you teeth (if you use tank water, and not bottled water for that) and wash your face. Not enough for even a military shower. This to reduce the possibility of unbaffled water sloshing about in your tank, and to reduce the possibility of water affecting the handling of your rig on the highway at 65 mph.
Great input, we always fill up close to our destination for two reasons-- safety of course and gas milage secondly. This vehicle does have an upgraded aftermarket suspension that is spec'd to the weight of the vehicle with the 58 gallons of water.
This is exactly the build I would love ! From drive train to the walkthrough box, what a perfect platform and you absolutely did it out of the park, I have built my own 2 rigs and 2 sailboats and have researched 100's of builds and this definably top ten !
Maybe on the next build! We decided to do the couch so it was comfortable for passengers and allows for a dining area. With a murphy bed there would be no place for additional passengers
I have been wanting an ambulance build by I am 6' 3" and would love one this tall inside. Can you tell me how often an ambulance is available with this kind of head room.
You need to get a mic for your interviewee's. I had to turn up the volume to hear him, then you start talking and you are real loud. Otherwise great video and real interesting
After looking at vans and tiny houses I realised quickly a van is to small and a tiny house needs land so a box truck is the perfect compomise for full time living and the best value for money platform if your smart about it. Way easier to build out and way more options because you can use regular house products in most cases and the extra roof space means a practical amount of solar so I find it a crazy choice to put fake lawn on the roof instead.
