Somewhere Yet Nowhere
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2022
Hi everyone, we are Dan and Jenny and are overlanders who are traveling the US to explore all the beautiful places and meet new and interesting people!
A little bit about us: We left corporate America to go full travel mode in January. Our plan is to travel the US in our new home, a 2015 Jeep JK Rubicon that has been completely modified to live in the backcountry. !!!!UPDATE!!!! We just found our dream rig, the Aterra XL, so join us as we continue to explore the US in this beautiful beast!
‘’Somewhere Yet Nowhere" is a nod to how we plan on doing it--sometimes we'll be in well known places and other times we'll be far off the beaten path. Our intention is to meet similarly minded people, explore new places and have FUN. When we are not in the Jeep exploring, we will be hiking and looking for other adventures in whatever town we are in.
We'd love for you to come along and join us in our adventures!

lost me at 76 grand for the camper
Finally someone with the Aterra that has a TH-cam !! I subbed immediately... I do have some questions... Was this financed as a single unit ? Or was the truck and camper purchased separately? Thanks
Going to be CO anytime CO?
Do you remember what spot this is in ?
White tank!
Subscribed. Great looking rig. How tall is it? Will be on the lookout where this thing takes you.
We're taaaaaaall LOL. We call it 11.5' to make sure that we clear obstacles, bridges, etc. Thanks for watching, and sub'd back. See you out there!
Hello, any future plans for traveling? Love the videos!
Thanks for the kind words! We’re not full time anymore, but have tons of places that are on the list, and have another video in the works that I just need to to get motivated to finish LOL. Thanks again for reaching out!
My wife and I are going next month! Looks like fun!
It is an amazing time- if you have binoculars bring them as there are some cliff dwellings you can look at!
Thanks for the great tour. No one rig ticks all the boxes, ever. They all have their compromises. But this one ticks so many. Very well thought out. With 60 gallons of diesel it would be nice to see if they could build one with diesel heat and delete the propane. Filling propane bottles is a hassle. Congrats on the cool rig. Safe travels.
We say the same thing- nothing is ever perfect, and there is always a trade off for the things you choose. For our use case, this probably gets about as close as you could ask for. The diesel heat is an interesting thought- I guess the drawback being that if you were taking the camper on and off a lot you'd have to deal with fuel lines...but if you were leaving it permanently attached you're right that it would certainly make things easier. Thanks for the kind words!
Is there a all diesel version with no gas , just electric , max. 12 volt amp hours in storage for lithuim , love you people cheers
The F350 has a diesel version to be sure, but our preference was gas as the newer diesel engines can be finicky with the modern emissions controls. Thanks for the kind words!
How much ground clearance do you lose by having the spare underneath? Also, how much do the steps weigh, given that you have to get them out and set them up every time?
Hey Jeff- clearance wise you really don't lose any because the spare is tucked up and the bumper extends back such that from a departure angle perspective you'd hit that before you hit the spare. The negative of having a spare there is that if you were stuck in mud/sand/etc and had to get to it you would obviously have to figure out a way to get enough clearance to drop it. The ladder is light- it's aluminum. Storage of it is the only consideration- if you're in snow/rain/dirt/etc then putting it inside the camper or truck isn't ideal, so we rigged up a system that we can mount it to the back to keep it all out. LMK if you have any other questions!
@@somewhereyetnowhereThanks. Also, I believe the heater requires propane. Is that right?
Followed build on exp forum. With gears and 37’s what’s your highway MPG’s? What’s your cold temps so far? Thanks so much
Sorry just seeing this- we drink fuel at just under 10 mpg, and are comfortable up to 80ish. On back roads at 50 we can do a little better. Our coldest temps have been high teens. Fire away with any other questions!
Hey Dan and Jen, thanks so much for the walk thru. There is not a lot of owner info on these on line yet. I was wondering how tall your setup is? One location here in Maine we often go to (Baxter State Park) is restricted to 9 feet so I was wondering. Thanks!
Ours would be too tall for Bastard er...I mean Baxter State park ;). We're just over 11, but we're on a F350, Carli suspension with 37s, etc. I think you could get closer to 9' with a shorter rig or even the Aterra truck topper that they've been doing. Baxter aside, this setup would be great for that area- North Maine Woods, Acadia, Nova Scotia, etc. Good luck with your decision and feel free to fire away with any other questions!
Just wanted to say HI! Hope to see you all again in Big Bend WV. Enjoyed the walk through. Its full of great ideas! Come back to Big Bend WV. for Country Road.
Kerry! We still have the guardian angel you made us in the center console of the rig!. We'd love to get back to Big Bend for Country Road...and a relaxer or two. Keep in touch!
Very Nice. What camera setup do you use when you do the videos?
Thanks! The drone is the Mini 3 Pro, and the handheld is just a GoPro 10 on a gimbal- the gimbal being the key to quality footage that isn't super shaky. Glad you enjoyed it!
Good energy, well done.
Thanks very much!
Nice looking rig. For me a wet bath or dry bath would be mandatory.
The outdoor shower is really a great option to have- find a nice secluded spot and there's nothing better. Plus it keeps all the moisture outside. Thanks for the kind words!
The Ursa Minor caught my attention, starting to look hard at getting one. Thanks for the walk-around.
I don't think you'll be sorry if you pull the trigger. Accessing from inside the vehicle is the way to go IMHO, and because of the compact size, it is surprisingly weather proof. Thanks for watching!
Hi kids !!, Glad to see your still at it. Great video as we have come to expect. So many travelers drive the interstates and never really get to see what you show us. Anyone can drive the country, but walking it is in a different dimension. Let me know where your wintering out. 👍 Today the Country, tomorrow the World. 🌎
Mudster! Thanks for your kind words and for spending a morning with us- it was great to talk tuna again! We’ll be in NC for the duration if you’re ever able to get south. Jenny said to say hello!
@@somewhereyetnowhere
Tell her bI said HI !!.@@somewhereyetnowhere
Incredible camera work! Absolutely beautiful. The East has more than most people give it credit for.
Thank you so much! Yeah, the camping options are much more limited, but the beauty is undeniable. Hope you're well!
What a beautiful area!!! Such an amazing outdoor journey. Great drone work, too!!!!
Thank you! Hope everything with the Bronco Raptor is getting sorted out!
@@somewhereyetnowhere Thanks. Yes. We are back on the road!!!
Great video work and editing!
Thank you for the kind words!
Great cinematography and commentary. Thanks for sharing this adventure. As a Boy Scout I did a week long canoe camping trip down the Penobscot River. It’s was an experience I will never forget. I have been told that camp is no longer active. What a shame. Cheers!
The Penobscot is no joke- that must have been amazing! I've never done a canoe trip, but it seems like it would be an amazing experience. Thanks for the kind words, and hope you're well!
What is the powertrain? Are there different options for it? It is an amazing build.
Yeah it's an amazing build. This has the 6.2L Gas, 4.88 gears, 6 speed auto trans, and Dana 60 up front. In terms of options, because you can put the camper on any 80" flatbed, the world is your oyster in terms of the base vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Aloha from Maui guys, I’m planning on getting the same vehicle you have and I’m wondering if you could touch on a little more of that in your videos… I’m just jonesin to see anything to do with your camper. Mahalo 🤙🏼
That's awesome! You're going to loooove it. Anything in particular that you'd like us to show/comment on?
Nice walkthrough. 210 ah isn't a huge amount of power. Do you find it's sufficient? Also, does the table swing out of the way to use the toilet?
So far 210 has been great for us. As long as there is some sun, the solar keeps up. We just finished 5 days in the back woods of NH with heat, fans, electronics, and minimal sun and the lowest it got was about 80% about 3 days in. If we were to have AC that would be a different story, but so far so good. The table slides towards driver side enough to use it adequately, but to have total freedom you'd need to remove the top. Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any other questions!
Per AT Overland, you can now get up to 315 ah
Southern Appalachia rules!!
It sure does!
Excellent Video!
Thanks dude!
Awesome!
I'm a new subscriber and am really enjoying your travels. I saw your video explaining about wanting the Ford set up for bugs,wind,bed,eating etc., but wonder if you have any Jeep remorse that you don't have that set up anymore? Wish you well on your travels, cheers.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! There are absolutely times that I miss the Jeep- it was small, nimble, and so capable that I could explore any road/track/trail that came my way. The Hard sided camper is much more limited. BUT, we'd make the same move if we had it to do all over again- being able to be out regardless of wind, temp, precip, etc outweighs the negative for us. Like we always say- there is no such thing as a perfect rig- you have to choose the one that hit's your priorities and then deal with the downsides...because they all have them. Thanks again for watching!
Good for you guys for doing it! Like your vibe. Best wishes on your travels.
Thank you!
There are a lot of beautiful places to see out there, but Appalachia will forever occupy my heart. I spent some time on the parkway yesterday and did a little hiking near Graveyard Fields. Great video guys. Hope to share a campfire with you one day.
There's just something about it that grabs you, and won't let go- so hard to describe. We'd love to meet up too! We walked by where you were camped but you must have been out wandering. Let's keep in touch on making it happen!
Good video till the Nascar clip showing the contribute nothing to society people wasting gas and polluting the environment
We met some really great people at our time there. Tons of hard working people, ex military, etc. We'll be back.
What a cool little adventure. Throwing in the NASCAR race is cool!!! The fall Colors looking nice!
Thanks dude! Yeah it was the first time there and was quite an experience. Hope all is well in your world!
LOL! There’s no such thing as over serving Bourbon the night of, only the next morning. Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s the same journey I hope to find myself in. Minus the NASCAR😬 Cheers!
Yeah the night of it all seems to make soooo much sense...until the next morning LOL. Hope you're well!
The pasta looks delicious
Thanks Chen- it was!
Nice setup, still love ides of indoor toilet and shower especially for prices of these units. Good stuff❤
Yeah it's a great option to have! We actually love the outdoor shower- doubles as dish washing, etc too. Thanks for watching!
Hey this is Cassandra on my boyfriend Jared’s acct. We met you both yesterday, I send you a message on instagram. We love all your videos. Hope your travels are going well today with the rain.
Thank you! It was great to meet you both, and to chat on IG!
Looks great! How long & tall is your rig? Considerations for storing inside.. TIA!
From front bumper to the end of the water/fuel boxes it's about 24', and the height I estimate at 11.5'. We haven't found the length to be a problem, but the height is something we are very conscious of. Hope that helps!
Another incredible journey. Thanks for sharing ❤
AWESOMENESS! You are as friendly in person as in your videos. It was our pleasure meeting you at OE 2023 and taking the time to answer all the questions my son had about your rig. Perhaps in the future he will achieve his dream of owning an AT Aterra XL. God speed and continue your incredible journey.
Thank you sir! We had so much fun spending time with the two of you guys yesterday! We can feel his passion and can’t wait to see him rolling down the road in his Aterra XL someday!! Until then we are always here for any questions you guys may have! Be well. Dan
Thanks for sharing the Aterra XL. When you time maybe a montage of some of your camping experiences focused on the XL as you travel? Glad to see the winch was helpful on the beaches in Oregon.
Thanks man-that’s a great idea! Is there anything in particular you’d like to see? Dan
How about some tips and tricks on using the Aterra for everyday life? Like how's the kitchen working out for you, the storage, bed, etc now that you have had a few weeks in the vehicle. Maybe some more highlights of the offroad capabilities of your rig. @@somewhereyetnowhere
Dan you're doing a great job on narration. Thanks for sharing your travels.
Thanks man-really appreciate the kind words and glad you’re enjoying them! Dan
Fantastic!!! <3 So jelly! I didn't get to do everything I had wanted to in Glacier since I was too early :(
Thanks Ryan! If it makes you feel any better we didn’t get to do everything we wanted either….all the reason we need to get back out there! Hope you’re doing well!! Dan
@@somewhereyetnowhere doing well here, just need to get back out for more. haha. hope all is well with you guys too!! oh 100%!!! definitely need to go back for sure. glad there's things left to see! glad you guys are having such an amazing time too!
So beautifully
☺Wow how can you guys stand all that beautiful country. You've been to all top places,not a bad one in the bunch. Right now that would be hard to top. Oh, but you will !!. OK Claud, I'm with Jen on this one. NO SNAKES ya hear ?? 😋Keep on keepin on !!.
Thanks Mudzilla- heading North shortly. Maybe we'll cross paths!
Thank you for sharing and taking me on new adventures. Dan, I love your expressions lol
Thanks Suze!
WooHoo yey got to see yer Griz. It's hard to believe as much ground as you two have covered it took till now. The Rockies are beautiful both American and Canadian. Yellowstone, well that's in it's own special place. Ya should have stopped at the fishing bridge and picked up a couple of Cutthroat to have with your eggs in the morning. Leave the bridge to the googans and go off the ends a few yards. 😊Lots of good country there but keep off the Cliffs !!! 😋
We honestly couldn't believe it had take us so long to really get to see one more than a brown blurr far off in the distance. He was huge, and it was worth the wait! Yeah we stay away from the googans LOL. Did a great cutthroat float trip in the backcountry of Idaho...soooo much better without the crowds. Hope you're well Mudster- we head northeast soon!
@@somewhereyetnowhere Great but when you head NorEast you'll be missing where you are now and where you have been. Life is so complicated sometimes. 😁
beeeeeeeeutiful !!!!!
It really was! Thanks Suze!
Love you guys .. appreciate you both sharing an adventure. Frigggiiinnn wow!!
Friggggiiiiiiiin 😂
Hey Kids, Your living it!! I'm glad your keeping these memories. Such a great adventure. See ya next time. :)
Thank you brother Mudd! Thought about you when we were with the orcas- I could see you trying to live line a seal to get tight ;)
