- Expedition Truck Full Build, start to finish. Interieur and exterieur. It might not be a time laps, but still we did our best to show our build, with real information and ideas for your own DIY project.
We bought this Mercedes 1634 Firetruck and converted it into a 4x4 Expedition camper. This video contains the full build, as a Timelapse, what took us nearly 2 years to finish.

Glad you enjoyed
What an amazing build. Thanks for sharing and happy travels
Thanks for watching!
A LOT of work, but GREAT results! Congrats!
Yes it was! But the reward it the best after all those sweat
@OhanaTruck JUST today driving on highway (up here in Finland) drove past a big rig hauling a similar fire engine you began your project with. Couldn't help but laugh, as it is not 2 days since I watched your build video! What are the odds!
Maybe someone took it to themselves to follow in your footsteps. 😁
@@e-Traveller awesome, inspire others to do great things and hopefully they will enjoy the rig as much as we do :-) 😎
one little thing. Add a sunshade on the top of the windscreen. It makes the truck more aggressive
Good suggestion 👍🏻
What a Cool Looking Camper Conversion for u'all to enjoy with ur Kids. 1 out of a 10, A BIG 10 1/2
🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks 🤙🏻
Super travail !👍🙏
🤙🏻
Great craftmanship very small should have a walk through from the cab as the kids age or you have more it will be uncomfortable. Good Luck
It is a crawl through for emergencies only, not something you use all the time. ✌️
What a fantastic job you guys did. You must be very proud, the attention to detail is unbelievable. Well done!
Thank you 🙏
What an awesome build but you have both tracks at the beginning playing the same time 😢😅
I hope infixed it. My apologies. Hope you still enjoyed the build 😆
78.000 km for merceses consider as brand new . nice work!
Thanks 🤙
It's fantastic, very well done. Love the video too... enjoy your travels.
Thank you! Will do!
2003, we received a devastating diagnosis.
Within a week -- while selling everything -- we acquired a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck and converted it to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle.
Two decades full-time live-aboard.
Twenty-four months twenty-four thousand miles around South America.
Alaska, Panama, all over North and Central America.
Summers up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes.
Winters on isolated Baja beaches.
.
And 'yes', we acknowledge some folks prefer building rather than getting out and having fun.
Thanks for sharing, Sounds like a Wonderfull adventure. 🌎
Great job.👍💪🛠
Thanks for sharing your build with us. The starlights, bunkbeds, slideout, table. Wood ceiling, cab layout, dashboard upgrades, ......ok everything! Just came out awesome.! 😮👍🤯🎯
Hello from Florida 🌊🏄♀️🏄♂️🏊♀️🏊♂️🏖⚓️🐬🐊🌞🍊
Thanks. We did our best to make it the best home we could ✌🏻
Really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
amazing project!!! Dreaming in something like this sometime soon..
CONGRATULATION for getting all the family involved!!
Let me know if you travel to Baja, Mexico and show you around.
Thanks we have it on our minds somewhere in a year or 2, 3..? depending on the speed we move.. let us know what you think we need to see/experience in your area. 🌎✌️
Amazing and Stunning. Safe travels always!
Thank you!
Ziegler builds some great firetrucks!
🚒
What a great, amazing and outstanding job you guys have done! Enjoy it as much as you can!
Thank you for your kinds words, Will do! 🙏
Servus.
Meine Hochachtung für Eure Arbeit.
Ihr könnt wirklich Stolz auf Euch sein.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne und Unfallfreie Fahrt mit Eurem schönen Fahrzeug.
Vielleicht kommt Ihr mal in die Steiermark und besucht uns.
Würde sehr gerne das Auto Life zu sehen.
Liebe Grüße Toni PETER
Thank you for your kind words. We crossed your country a couple months back already. ✌🏻
Insane that you have the skills to do this kind of job very cool !
Thank you ✌🏻
Is it your first project? Amazing, well planned and even better built. One question - looks like you used a lot of pretty heavy stuff - what it the weight of the complete, ready to drive truck?
Thank you. Yes this is our First project.
We didn’t care of the weight as we have a 16 ton chassis and 3 spares. We are planning to life fulltime in it for a couple of years so we needed it to be and feel like our home without holding back with our comforts.
The total weight ready to drive is 13.000 kg, including everything we have on board.
Very cool !
As a German I did have to laugh at one point though:
Making sure the drawers don't open during off-roading with electro-magnets
is a solution one of our guys might have come up with.
Not saying it's stupid - just "sophisticated" 🤣
Thanks :-) yes we had to come up with something. sorry for saying but the other solutions all the specialist came up with are just so awful
A beautiful job, i am impressed 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellente job!!! Great video!!! Very educative. Tanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!👍🏻
👍 what a great Job/Transformation 💪
Thank you 🙌
Thank you for the informative video! Could you reveal more on your engine size, transmission etc... Will the engine be easy to get to and serviced? Thank you!
engine is a 340 HP, we have a standard 6 shifts hand gear with the option for 6 more low. As you can see. for the rest you should not ask me as I know very little of our engine. The entire cab can go up so service is not really a problem. we leave that to the mechanics 😉
Parabéns, excelente projeto, muito capricho!!
Muchas gracias
I would have been gutted ripping this out being an engineer but a must keep would be the blues n twos
🤙🏻
So sweet!
Thank you! 😊
Very good Job ! Can you tell me more about the tumble dryer that is mounted outside. I think that's awesome. Where can I buy it? greetings Peter....
Thank you Peter, we bought it in the Netherlands.
Can find it here. Maybe will be possible to buy in you country

Nice work, amazing skill 👍
Video needs a little bit of editing 😉
Thanks for the tip, everyone their skills right 😆
Love it👏👏👏👍Hat off from Norway
Thanks 🙏
Come to india broo❤️❤️❤️
We will see 🤙🏻🇮🇳
Super cool guys 😊.
Thank you 🤙🏻
Доброго времени суток. Это когда руки золотые и мозгов вагон. Очень классно сделано.
Thanks ✌🏻🧠
You did a great job 😊❤
Thank you! Cheers!
fantastic workmanship, i believe you could add a balcony on the rear, like a tailift that lays flat on the back, simply undo catches, fold down, swing out support legs, steps and safety rail with a cassette roof blind attached to the top of the truck...just an idea I have always had..... can't wait to see your trips.
Thanks for the tip!
Wow! I love it ❤
Thank you! 😊
Knap hoor, prachtige 4x4 en bijzondere kleur!
Dankje dat vonden wij ook ✌🏻
That's amazing.
🤙🏻✌🏻
Cool
🤙🏻
great video, thank you!
You are welcome!🤙🏻
Love the build but I would have kept the cab the way it was seein as your plan was to extend the bed anyway. Front space is awesome.
t✌️
Super schönen LKW habt ihr euch da gebaut. Respekt dafür 👍🏻. Darf man fragen was ihr für das ganze Projekt ausgegeben habt?
Schöne Grüße aus Kiel
Danke shön ✌️
Wonderful job, beautifull small house on wheels with everything you need to live... But 25 years old diesel truck? In Europe? With all those Eco restriction...
Not only Europe, every continent it is. that would be a bad choice to make an off road for just Europe…
عمل جبار
Thank you 🤙🏻
Impressive job
May i know where you bought the truck?
Ciao
Germany from a truck selling platform
WOW----WEE----WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You out done your selves just breathe taking! After reading some of the comments about the larger tires that you put on, did you by any chance take the truck to check the alignment? I know every time I get new tires thats the first thing I do.... Alignment is relatively cheaper than preserving those expensive tires. Just a thought! May you and the family have many many safe and HAPPY times. :) :) :)
Thank you for your comment.. yes we have had them checked out before going on the road. 🤙
WOW!!!
👌
Complimenti! from Dolomiti. 👍
🤙🏻🤙🏻
@ohanatruck great work when you said you had professionals do the next phase of the work in June 2021 - who was the company that did that bit? I love what you've done! thank you for teh info in advance.
Hi. The company is not doing truck no more. Only Toyota helix pre built for Toyota.
bravo
🤙🏻
I wish i had the money to do something like this
It all starts with a dream, who can become a detailed building plan for free and the rest can be one step at the time ✌🏻
Wat hebben jullie gebruikt voor de ramen??
En staat de box rechtstreeks op het chassie van de vrachtwagen of via een torsie vrij frame?
@dansrene. Sideway ramen, en de box zit met en torsie vrij frame gemonteerd, anders heb je bij offroad een uitdaging
jelous, envious please feel free to add more words
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Netjes gemaakt hoor! 👍🏼
Thanks ✌🏻
How heavy is the final build?
Somewhere between 12 and 13 ton when we are all geared up and ready to go on the road.

" the experts" are talking...😂... The brotherhood of "specialists"... You're fucked when they live next door to you...always something to complain about.
It's an incredibly beautiful en impressive machine! Marble tiles or not...this thing wil go places😉...
Haha 🙌🏻
Yes this machine has been to places and will go to many more places ✌🏻 🌍
Top🙂

Echt ontzettend gaaf gemaakt!
Dankje 🤙🏻
What's the drying rack that you fold out called and where did you get it?

😉
Just a personal opinion - The rear sticks out too far from the rear axle - looks a bit "odd"
Geweldig super .veel werk maar een juweeltje super 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Bedankt. 🤙🏻
Can i ask what is the maker of your induction countertop?
Sure it is a spanish company TPB Tech.
Very nice. Narrow screen was annoying and took away from the quality of the video.
Sorry about that
wow
🤙
May I ask how to buy the Mercedes 1634 Firetruck?
Sure. Just have a search on the internet. They are offered on regular websites by companies who buy them from the fire department. In Germany there are a few big sites where you can buy trucks. We found ours on one of these sites.
Thanks!
May i know what is the name of the air conditioning system?
Dometic Freshwell 3000 airco
@@OhanaTruck thank you my friend,I can't wait see your journeys around the world.
Topper man.... Dus ik neem aan binnenkort go around the world....Dan zou ik zeggen kom maar dan naar Indonesie..
Dank, wellicht ook die kant op.
High quality result, luxury with a lot of autarchy. Well done!
I have a question:
Where did you register the bigger weels on the truck's documents? In Germany or in The Netherlands? Because in Germany I found (in internet) that, since the bigger weels change the emissions, a new emission test is required to have them registered, and it's not the easy test that you have to do for the periodical technik control, but the same hard test that the car makers have to do in order to "homologate" their cars. It's very expensive and often it results in rejections.
What is your experience? Did you have to do something like that? And where?
Thanks
🤫
Hi.
We did the registration in the Netherlands. But this also took me a hard time. Because of the higher weight and the bigger tires, it didn’t pass the breaking tests.
We got in contact with the fabric (Daimler truck) and asked for what could be a solution. They gave us a document that the inspectors could do the test with more pressure (normally they test with 7 bar but our system has 8,5) so the test was run again with 7,5 and we passed the tests without any problems.
Hope this helped.
Ps. The professionals we asked told us that it is easier in the Netherlands and for example spain to convert a vehicle because of the regulations
@@OhanaTruck Yep, you did, thank you very much! Your truck is considered suitable for such tires by the carmaker, evidently they made the very same truck of yours with such big wheels originally from the factory, so you are allright; however kudos to Mercedes that is backing the owners who gets their trucks also after many years, I think that it's not smth that someone should give for discounted.
Sadly I was hoping for a story like one of the guys in America: "I put the tires on place, went to the local autority and got them registered, all alone, coz the Netherlands are awesome! We have freedoom!"; which is pretty much what I need because no carmaker will ever back me on placing bigger tires on a regoular 4x4 van like a sprinter, and no stock 4x4 van has enough ground clearance and wheels that are big enough. Then, after getting the stuff written on the papers, I could have imported the van in my country because they are forced to accept whatever vehicle with whatever MOD if it has been registered in any country of the EU...
So now I know that what I would like to do is not possible in the Netherlands too 😭😭😭
And to legally get some clearance for a van, the only way I know so far for ppl in europe is to go for a professional conversion that will cost starting from 40 grands...😱
Looks good but i bet its heavy. Sound throughout the video drive me mad though.
Sound drives us crazy as well TH-cam screwed it up and we are not allowed to change it no more.
Not that heavy 12tons

A-May-Sing........!
No lights or wall outlets so I guess it's a total camper without electricity
Might want to watch the video again. 😉
