Follow my adventures travelling solo around the world in my 4x4 expedition vehicle.
Three years ago I explored the North and South islands of Newzealand in a rented van. The magic landscapes and infinite horizons had a profound impact on my life. On my return to Switzerland I decided to sell my home and move into a tiny home on wheels. It took a year to find the perfect vehicle and an other 24 month to have it built according to my plans. Since the beginning of March 2022 I explore the roads less travelled.

Hallo, kriegst du einzelbereifung in der CH zugelassen oder zur MFK gehst du mir original räder und dann wechseln ?
Hallo, ja, die Einzelbereifung ist in der CH - neben anderen Belangen - tatsächlich ein Thema. So viel ich weiss, sind drei solche Fahrzeuge (mit Einzebereifung) in der Schweiz zugelassen, aber meinen Fuso mit dieser Bauart hier zuzulassen, war ein grösserer, längeres und eher schwieriges Unterfangen. Aber nach mehreren Versuchen hats trotzdem geklappt. Good luck, falls du auch so was planst und safe travels Simon
@simonjourneyman Bravo ! Da häsch glück gah. I würds gar nid mache, nur normal Felge Kaufe, MFK damit und hop einzelbereifig druf und adieu... De ganz papier kramm nervt eifach...aber schös auto häsch viel spass damit
@@edouardblanc9989 danke, ja, e Satz Originalräder sind bi der Larag in St Galle, füe alli Fäll :-)
Ohhh you have a very formidable van. I like all of it 👍💪😊
thank you very much, I am high up in the Swiss mountains with it right now... enjoying the snow :-)
Que hermoso Video todo en sintonia con la naturaleza, con tu forma de ser y vivir. Amazing. Outstanding!
Mi opinion? Simplemente perfecto y hermoso. Felicidades!
muchisimo gracias!
This is a beautifully made video, but there seems to be an element of loneliness. Maybe it is me, but I feel sad that this man's wonderful experiences are not shared and enjoyed with a partner. My sincere apologies if my feelings are wrong. My wife and I toured Europe in our Audi Quattro estate over eight weeks. We visited eight countries: France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Italy. We mostly camped stealthily and had a fantastic time. Switzerland was our favourite destination, and I experienced the exhilarating toboggan run in Churwalden, in the Arosa-Lenzerheide ski resort. We hope to do it again in a more refined manner next year. Greetings from England.
Hello to the UK and thanks for watching. I know hat you mean with the "lonely traveller" feel of some of my videos. My wife is still working in theatre productions and is not able to join me on all of my trips, unfortunately. But this will change in the very near future. You definitely experience different things when traveling alone and I must admit that I really like to travel alone sometimes. You realls seem to have picked a wonderful route to some of the most exciting destinations in Europe. When you have a chance, visit the Morteratsch camping in the Engadin in the Swiss alps, it is the highest campground in all of Europe (1850m) I personally think, it is one of the most rewarding areas in alll of Switzerland with limitless beautiful hikes, little villages and spectacular mountain peaks. I actually just arrived here for my winter camp and I will stay until the beginning of April, with my wife visiting every now and then... Happy hollidays to you, wherever you are and maybe meet you in the Swiss alps some time. Cheers and happy travels Simon
I'm in love and suffering from warm envy.
:-)) how well put into words. Thanks you, I guess that fortune will lead you to a vehicle of that kind!
Where did you get the cabin from? What is it constructed from? Did you have it built?
What are the HP/Torque specs for the engine and what size is it? Would it be able to tow a small boat as well?
Great video! What model Fuso did you get. And is there a specific chassis length? Also where do keep the spare wheel?
What model Fuso is this unit? FG???
That's a nice and impeccable rig, a good choice with that truck... The good thing of those japanese trucks is that wherever you go, you will see them anywhere, so no need to worry. Safe travels mate
Love it! We have a 2015 All Terrain Warrior Alpha Camper built by Sportsmobile West in California. It has been bullet proof and is currently for sale if anyone is interested check our channel for more info. I've been thinking about painting or wrapping ours in a battle ship grey. Looks good! Subbed and liked. Thanks for sharing!!
Simon, this is so beautiful! The cinematography, the aesthetic of your videos, and your style of living are amazing! Thank you for sharing. Such a pleasure and an inspiration.
Hi, i Have question, what brand is wheel rims ,size? and what size is your tires and brand please, im planing converting mitsubishi fuso by myself
That was such a pleasure to watch your story, Simon! Great video script, and editing. All these transitions, effects, and sound design are just amazing. It's so entertaining and chilling. I almost forgot that most parts of the video are photos, but with those effects and audio, they are not static anymore and it's like magic. They are telling an amazing story, your story Simon. That is such an epic adventure. So many life experiences, so many beautiful memories and emotions. Many people live their lives in the place where they were born during all their lives. But your journey is like you live many lives. So inspirational. I like your personality. You are awesome! You looked chill, confident, calm ( no worries, fears, or anxiety). That's a true living. I like your editing. The bridge's transition effect at 18:45 was cool and the photo of the glass at 11:35. It is just a glass, but you could see that beautiful moment and catch it. It shows that you are living right in this moment, right now, here. That's perfect. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Will be waiting for other videos from you. Have you thought about taking a cat or a dog? Together with an animal is more fun, I guess. But I understand that it can be not so comfortable for some people. Just my 5 cents) Also for me, It looks like the living box in MAN and in Fuso are more or less the same. Thank you for sharing your vision of life with us. Wish you all the best and meet many great and kind people on your journey.
It was a pleasure to watch your video. The edit, the transitions, camera work, light, and presentation are just perfect. The camper itself is just fantastic! You are a true engineer and what a pleasure to see the result of all your imagination and engineering skills. The floor plan is perfect. Everything is so beautiful and clean. Just in the places where they should be. I wish you all the best, interesting traveling, and meeting great people. You did an amazing job. Huge respect. And I have 2 questions: 1) could you please tell me the dimensions of the shower place (length and width) and 2) dimensions of the toilet room (with toilet and sink) as well as length and width. Thank you very much
Hello, thanks for your generous compliments, yes, it is a very beautiful build and I am enjoying my truck every single day. I normally don't send out specific measurments of my build, however I can send you a floorplan via mail, if you provide an email address, since I can't / won't upload it on my channel. Thanks again, best Simon
@simonjourneyman Hi, Simon! Thank you very much, it would be awesome❤️ Appreciate that
@simonjourneyman I commented two times and TH-cam deleted my comments because it was mail acres in them. Your website is not working anymore. Could you please add your email in the description of your channel and I will write to you. I see this as the only way to connect with you. Then you will delete your email from your channel description if you don't want to share it. I am just in the process of designing a camper for myself and I just want to check measurements for the shower and for the toilet. Thank you!
@@neurogarlion Hi, yes I know the limits of TH-cam. Please check out SAF SIMON AEBY FILMS - that leads you to SWISSFILMS and the email to my company. withy my private email. See you there :-)
@simonjourneyman thank You very much❤️ I've sent it to you
what was the cost of that build, if you don't mind answering ?
Hello, the tozalö cont, incl. taxes and customs to Switzerland was in the low 300K. Best regards Simon
hi, whre you get over cab this pod also side flaps between cab and living box?
yes, there is a passage between the driver cabin and the living area, I describe it in my full truck review video, thanks best Simon
That’s a great build . Hope to see you out in Africa sometime, or when we come over to Europe in our truck 👏👌
Thank you! yes, would love to meet in Africa.. Marokko ist the only country I visited on the African continent so far :-) more to come.. cheers Simon
Love this❤️♥️💛🧡💙🩵💓💝💕💞😍🤩🥰👍🙏
🙏🙏🙏
I must admit it's one of the greatest truck campers I have seen so far.
thank yor very much :-)
Здравствуйте! Всё очень органично. Не подскажите, какая компания сделала такое чудо?
thank you! It was manufactured by Woelke Expedition Vehicles in Heimsheim Germany
Beautiful truck van
thank you!
Definitely for full time living . Home on wheels that you can take anywhere
yes, very much so. I the South of France right now.. :-)
Great use of space in such an elegant presentation. It doesn't look like all that should fit from the outside!
thank you. I thought the exact same thing when I bough the truck: how does all of the fit in..:_)
one of my favorite van travel channel all I can say is that this gentleman really knows how to enjoy his life - WITH STYLE
Thank you so much for the compliment, we all try to enjoy life... cheers and safe travels to you
Put the phone in a bag of rice (I nearly wrote ‘submerge’), it will absorb the moisture, after a couple of days the phone may accept charging.
thank you for the advice... I will try next time :-)
我好喜歡你優雅的氣質❤
thank you so much !
Great!
Thanks!
One of the cleanest functional and minimalist but yet the greatest mod on the internet by far with less fuss and flash completely built out of purpose and plan ❤❤❤. What are the dimensions of the box in terms of length and width in feet or meters?
hello and thanks for commenting. The inside of my cabin is 4x2 meters, the hight 2m. The overall length of the vehicle is 6.5m which is a reasonable size for an expedition veicle. I am still able to curise the streets of inner cities and even park in regular size parking lots. My previous vehicle was a MAN 9t vehicle with a 7.5 x 2.4 dimension which made it quite difficult to cruise in narrow streets of Norway and Sweden up to the North Cap. So I think you are very well off with a smaller, more efficient vehicle if you plan to explore more narrow paths. Good luck and safe travels, cheers Simon
Fantastic build. What did it cost you, ballpark?
Ballpark 300K Euros..
Dudes camp is better organised than my house...Germans lol
Thank you! Swiss .. ever better organized than Germans :-) LOL... safe travels to you Cheers Simon
@@simonjourneyman my bad..well swis s are no diff...best set up ive seen so far
@@michaelruatfelaralte84 absolutely correct: Swiss are no better :-)
Sehr schönes Video. Steckt uns auch an so zu geniessen. Sehr toller Innenausbau. Herzlichen Gruss
Danke, ja, bin gerade am selber Ort, Herbstbeginn, herrlich, kann ich nur empfehlen :-) Safe travels Cheers Simon
is there a company which can build a setup like this for fusso and what would be an approximate time and build cost ?
www.woelcke.de/wohnmobile.html - this is the company that built my vehicle. It used to be around 4 years to have them build an individual vehicle, but I think now they are able to do it faster. However I think that the Mitsubishi truck base is no longer available, you might have to look for an alternative vehicle base like MAN, IVECO etc. But I can highly recommend Woelke in Germany, they do very solid and high quality work. Hope this info is somewhat valuable for you. Thanks for commenting, cheers and safe travels Simon
@@simonjourneyman Thanks Simon for the link and for your reply. I was looking at the Fusso because the narrow roads of UK and EU I think Fusso is easy to maneuver. I like your setup, really nice clean job both in the exterior and the interior. Wishing you safe travels too.
@@optiondrone5468 thank you and very welcome. Before the Fuso I was traveling with a bigger and heavier MAN truck - and it was way too big for the roads up to the North Cap in Norway. So its a very wise decision to aim for a more narrow vehicle like the Fuso. Good luck with your build!
@@simonjourneyman Thank you, such an excellent insight, this makes me more confident on my decision to get a 4x4 fusso cantor as a vehicle platform. Best wishes for your travel plans.
Amazing vehicle. It must be a pleasure to travel in this, you have thought of everything
thanks you, yes, my vehicle is everythng I ever dreamt of and I am living in it full time for 3 years now.. amazing! thanks for watching
what a beautifull work! congratulacions from Perú
gracias and see you in Peru - hopefully :)
Tighten to the front loosen to the rear. On wheel nuts.
yes exactly.. thamks
Not for me but I’m happy it’s perfect for you and you love it. Great vid!
thanks, glad you liked the vid..
Was this originally a dually truck? every model for sale has a dually configuration
yes, it was a dual model that has been configurated by the manufacturer in Germany, much better for off road use.
I love your videos, so simple and realistic. Please keep them coming
thank you so much, I will try to post some more soon :-))
In my country Ecuador is not possible to get a 4x4 truck fuso 611 but 4x2 is possible. I'd like to build a camper similar to yours. Can you send me the floor plan please? and all measurements
hello, thanks for commenting. I do not have the floorplan of my truck since it was built by Woelcke in Southern Germany according to my specifications. But maybe you can ask them to send you the actual floorplan: www.woelcke.de/expeditionsmobile/woelcke-autark-explorer-e3-auf-fuso-canter.html
love the music!
Thanky bigbang :-) love it too :-)))
That is an amazing build, as said below, clean and effective. The espresso machine was the cherry on top. Congratulations, Well done!
yes, the espresso machine is one of the main features of my truck, love it! thanks for watching :-)

Good morning. Thank you for your many videos. We are developing the specification for our future vehicle and your videos, which we watch in detail several times, are very useful to us. It is also a pleasure to listen to you speak English which is very understandable for a French person. Have a good trip.
Bonjour Pierre, many thanks for your compliments, yes, I try to keep things a s simple as possible, in my videos as well as in my truck :-) What kind of vehicle are you planning to build? Just curious what other travelers are doing :-) Thanks for commenting, my next video will be about my recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival. cheers et bone route Simon
