This Truck is incredibly well thought out, totally functional, which can easily be seen. Every bit of space is used very intelligently having more than one purpose for daily use. The colours inside make it very warm, inviting, and peaceful. It's very easy to see why it took as long as it did to build it out, and it's because meticulous attention and thought has gone into every square inch, and it totally shows. This is the kind of home on wheels I would want.
Beautifully written! The fact they worked so well together to and achieved such an amazing, and comfortable "home," speaks volumes! But, I'll add the whole time he was showing all this, I was truly concerned for them traveling in 🇲🇽 😬! I'm 🙏Trump work something out with 🇨🇦 so we 🤝 can spend more time there instead as it's extremely beautiful and friendlier! All that said, I wish I could afford what they have accomplished... but, No doubt he would be a wonderful advisor in the planning of it. Praying these two👫 stay safe, in their travels.
You built what you want and you enjoy the lifestyle you have with it. I happen to think you did an amazingly great job and admire your creativity and passion, but that's just my opinion. :-) Thank you for sharing!
WOW! Stunning and incredibly functional. Great design and use of space. Love, love, LOVE your kitchen set up. We too are picky eaters and I never imagined being able to have so much frig/freezer space... Of course it took a very large electrical system to make that happen, but your priorities are clear. An expensive build, but a fraction of what you would've paid to have someone else build it and it's custom to YOU. Also, if anything breaks, you know how to fix it because you built it! Who can buy a home AND be perpetually on vacation for under $200k? YOU! Outstanding!
Hope you guys get lots of use out of this. You obviously put a lot of thought and work into it. Every time someone mentions the cost of an Earth Roamer I'm amazed that its so expensive! You did a good job on your truck...especially love the bathroom.
Really nice build, functional, with a good amount of storage, yet feels open and not cramped. I like the shower and back porch too! Thanks for the tour!
Guys Your Build Is Absolutely Gorgeous.. The BEST YET !!! I LOVE ThIS ❤️ 😍... U ROCKED IT N NAILED IT !!!! SAFE TRAVELS ALWAYS... C YA'LL DOWN THE ROAD !!! GOD BLESS YA'LL ❤❤
Beautiful, comfortable build! My only concern is there is no connection from the living space to the driving cab. There have been incidences where it is necessary to drive away quickly without getting outside the cabin space for safety reasons. Probably not a problem unless you are planning on traveling to Mexico.
Thank you! A cab through was not a priority for us, but totally understand your concerns. Our friends who have pass through never use them, and could do without which is how we came to our decision. We are actually in Mexico now for the second time, people are friendlier here than in the US! Haha
thank you so much! That's the beauty of building your own rig, everyone has different priorities / activities / gear to keep in mind through out the process.
@the.desertcruiser I'm flattered. Because this is your creation that you put into reality for both of you. You did an amazing job. People like you for me are the good part of social media. I would not know you existed otherwise
@@64maxpowerdude we put everything we had physically, mentally and financially into this build, so when people like yourself drop a comment we really appreciate it and take it to heart 🙏🏻 there are so many good folks on social, now we know another one 🤙🏻
@the.desertcruiser I sincerely appreciate that. More than I can express. Even more I love you did all this with a bad ass chick. Because Bad Ass Chicks are I n short supply. We need them
Actually Christina found our unicorn! Hahaha we wanted the 7.3 Godzilla motor so bad she spent 3 full weeks compiling lists of potential dealerships and I called and called and called. We got lucky and definitely found our unicorn 🙏🏻
This is a gorgeous build! So well designed and beautifully finished. Does the 175k cost to build include the cost of the truck or is that just the house?
Cool build, If it works for them, that's what matters. For anyone balking at the price, you could build this just as well, possibly better, for half the price.
Tool? Really 😂 “sorry” that I’m so passionate taking about our build and said “massive” one to many times for your liking. Did you enjoy the build at all or I got under your skin so much you only paid attention to me? 😂😂😂
Being raised in the desert, outside of Death Valley, and here well over 60 years, knowing this territory/terrain. This vehicle won't make it on a larger percentage of our trails in the desert wilderness, let alone pathing its own trail. IMO
the truck has gone everywhere we've ever wanted it to, slot canyons, beaches in Mexico, muddy terrain in Canada... It eats up the desert terrain, it's not meant to go down the gnarliest roads, it's meant to take us down terrain RV's and Vans cannot, with all the amenities of a home. Either way, hope you enjoyed the video!
Comparing this to a condo? That condo can’t drive me from Alaska to Mexico dude 😂 but I do appreciate you enjoyed the build! Crazy to think people sell sprinter vans for well over this price these days 😂
Never once said it’s better than an Earthroamer 😂 but one thing we do get is people asking us weekly if this is an Earthroamer in person, so does that count? 😂
I just love it when people name drop their overpriced equipment. ...almost as much as I love THEE and EH used constantly in place of the and a. I can understand why this guy chooses to live overland - it's him being charitable to all the people who would have to listen to him if he was stationary.
These tours are just to boost people's social media following. Of course they're going to namedrop, it's what influencers do. It's just another version of praying on people's insecurities and envy. Without looking, I'd bet money they are reselling some form of DIY e-book, course and/or a bucketload of affiliate links, they all do it. Most of those on youtube aren't genuine "nomads" anymore, the ones that are do travel and nature content and reluctantly do a tour of their trash wagon. If you go to Overlanding forums you can see insanely well built no bullshit rigs.
Ok this is the drinking game video of the week! Every time you hear “absolutely” take a shot and keep track of how many occurrences you detect! The first couple who get the numbers correct wins the pot for the week!!! Pot is $750 right now.
Man, “sorry” that I’m so passionate about our build and talking to others about it that I said absolutely one to many times for your liking? Did you at least enjoy the build, or I bother you so much you only counted my absolutely’s? 😂
@@the.desertcruiser I have no problem with it whatsoever. I live and work the exact same way! we just have a group of full-timers who have a contest where we pick out a video, key word, and one has to take a shot each time and count them. When done they submit their count. First and most accurate wins! We flip videos each week. You happened to be this week
@@the.desertcruiser you could ad some sort of upper support for the top track. idk what heights that curtain system is available in, ive just seen other installs that have the track mounted to the top and bottom
Weight and a huge engine. Remember, that's not a 150, 250 or 350. It's a 550, which, before this video, I didn't even know existed. The bigger the number, the bigger the engine and heavier the chassis. So 9 mpg sounds about right for this.
Propane makes the power system so much simpler but in our previous van even with really good ventilation we would feel almost “foggy” in our heads when the propane was on. So that’s really why we went electric!
@@forestbrother7772I haven’t heard of sensors issues? Early on was spark plugs, wiring harness and the cam/lifters, but what motor doesn’t have fatal flaws 😂
While it's true that there's some potential for more living area, biking is a big part of what makes this lifestyle enjoyable for them. The bikes were a priority in the build, and we love that they've made the design unique to their wants and needs!
Putting a "On this weeks episode" makes me click off the video, don't have to try to sell the video when someone already have clicked on it to watch, just putting me off from watching it.
@@JeffBlaine Yes, that I do know. But just want it to be known that some people don't like such type of intros. Otherwise a good channel but just kills the mood.
absolutely false, you'd be lucky to find a "professional" company building on this truck platform for under 300k... Especially considering "professional" companies in the van world charge well north of 170k for sprinter vans these days! Either way, hope you enjoyed the video
@@p4pking393 if people put their build online, it’s open to criticism. There’s loads on here that I like. I just think this one isn’t very well thought out. If my opinion offends you then get some thicker skin.
The it would have cost 300-400K. And what are you even referring to in regard to design? If you are going to spew criticism expand on your thoughts so there’s no room for misunderstanding.

Pure awesome. And to be able to share it with someone you love who is just as enthusiastic is just magic.
I came to the comments to see who would say, "Awesome." 😅

hey, thanks so much for the kind words! We are truly so stoked with how it all came together.
It actually has everything you need to live comfortably!
we can confirm, after 1.5 years we would change nothing! haha
I did not even know you could do that with stainless steel. The whole build is great, but that shower is a work of art!
I already seen this tour on another channel. But I watched it again. It's awesome!
Such a cool build! 😄 Interesting to see how everyone prioritizes other things in their vehicle
thank you so much! That's the beauty of building your own rig, everyone has different priorities / activities / gear to keep in mind through out the process.
Great build! Thanks for sharing.
This is a really good design for all their limitations of space!!
Hey, thanks for the comment! We put a lot of thought into it, drew up 3 layouts and decided on this one!
That's sure a cute little baby you have there..❤
Amazing setup 😮
thank you, we are loving it!
I really like her comment who wants stationery❤
it is the truth! haha thanks for watching :)
In this digital world, I guess we don't need stationery so much.
Nice build 🤙
Thanks dude!
Does the cost of the build include truck?
Yes it is!

@@the.desertcruiserlol, I get why you think I ment your truck. But I meant Christina
This is really well done, my only question is how well does this handle in more winter comditions, or do you mainly stick to more temperate areas.
Congratulations, you both❤❤.., Hell of a creation. Human perserverance❤. You both have awesome skills. Wish I had 1/8th of your skills. Dan❤
Nice work!
thanks so much!
Hello very nice its well set up love it
Really well thought out build.
I loved your house ❤ if you can create pass-through to garage to driving cabin, it's best to travel the world 🌎 😉
thanks so much!
Sweet ! Thanks for giving me some very cool Ideas.
Christina can change it out is Crazy 😝
Shots fired at earthroamer lmaooo

Glad we can open up your world some more :)
Congratulations on a fantastic build!! Please, do you keep a small generator without you, just in case?
Thank you! And no we don’t
What do they use for internet and what plan?
This Tools favorite word massive!
Tool? Really 😂 “sorry” that I’m so passionate taking about our build and said “massive” one to many times for your liking. Did you enjoy the build at all or I got under your skin so much you only paid attention to me? 😂😂😂
Cool build. Although if you had box build why not built over the cab part?
Exactly. Also he should know his height.
There is no ceiling in a desert
Awesome build. Curious what you get for mileage?
he mentioned 9.3mpg in the video

Really cool build but the price tag is extreme. I just bought a really nice condo in Montana for 200k but to each their own.

@ I still travel around with my truck camper and fishing boat.
Washer/dryer?
Above the shower.
Drying? It's a desert..
Ha ha ithease builds are always apparently better than an Earthromer. I bet they have had loads of Earthromer owners wanting to swap with them😂
Never once said it’s better than an Earthroamer 😂 but one thing we do get is people asking us weekly if this is an Earthroamer in person, so does that count? 😂

😍that 🚿
Right?! It’s so sick!
Love this
Cool beans man
Nice.😊
Yeah everything but a passage to the cab, incase of any danger, they would literally have to get out to drive off, rain snow same problem.
9 miles per gallon, did I hear that right? Is it due to weight?
Weight and a huge engine. Remember, that's not a 150, 250 or 350. It's a 550, which, before this video, I didn't even know existed.
The bigger the number, the bigger the engine and heavier the chassis.

What’s the gas mileage on this beast?
Cool

truth!
You have almost no concept of human history
Maybe your mom didn't, but you don't know my mom.
Seems like the crew cab is a waste of space you could have a bigger box and same total length
Negative, the ultimate reason for a build this size is to travel with kids one day when we have them… you need a crew cab truck for that
2-3 mpg…
We said 9.3mpg in the video, so you didn’t even listen to the video 😂
If I had Earthroamer money I'm going Earthroamer.
I never said we wouldn’t 😂 the point is we built the best DIY earthroamer with the budget we had 😂

The truck is rated for 19,500ibs, we weigh 17,000ibs so explain to me how that’s overloaded?? 😂😂

Name a good engine. It’s getting hard to find one now other than the Cummins diesel.
The German built engines are trash. Even Toyota North American engines are having big problems. It’s getting difficult to find a reliable engine.
Lots of potential living space that's wasted on bikes/garage.

how can it be wasted space if its designed for bikes and a garage??? lol what works for us may not work for you, but its absolutely not wasted space.
