I got plenty of customers running them with 500k-800k miles running day and night. They're excellent workhorses so long as you treat them like a trophy wife.

I have had a lot of experience in building things in my 60 years on this planet and I have to say, what you have done is quite remarkable. The walk through your rig was a real treat and I was amazed with the detail of your design. The storage and the practical design of the unit as a truly functional liveaboard was fantastic. I have watched a ton videos of big money A class etc. units available on the market in the high 6 figures and you haven't missed the mark. It's too bad that we can't get a vehicle that gets better mileage, but this is the crap that has been given to us from the big manufacturers. This will change as the world wakes up to its true spiritual potential and people start living for the betterment of all rather than self centered greed and bowing to big oil.

The adjustable beefed up suspension, the adjustable tire pressure system, all the pulleys and wiring, the upgraded engine to accommodate the massive weight increase...

    Many of the products used in the building of your camper are very interesting. It would have been nice to include links to these products. I had to rewind the video several times on different occasions to get the name of a product then I had to search for it by name, not always finding what I was looking for.... just an FYI.
    Great video!

      Not sure Tyler I think it depends on the center of gravity and exactly how much excessive weight there is above that, but I have to agree it's not something I would want to put to much lateral motion or side incline to find out...

      Most all the earth roamer type trucks look top-heavy but they are driven all over the world on dirt, sand, and gravel roads, but as Kyle succinctly put it, not necessarily off-road. They have large, low-slung fuel and water tanks which helps.
