We gave up jeep camping a few years ago for a truck camper and a ford f350 4x4, crew cab as well, we take our two TW 200 with a hitch mounts. We absolutely love it, not as fancy as yours but I am betting your going to love it. We find there is plenty of clearance to get off the beaten path and have the comfort of home! Welcome to the truck camper life, yours is a beauty. We went with a front bumper with three bars and backing. That plastic grill is 1k bumper was $700, hit a elk and it didn’t do any damage to us. PNW is where we live. Happy trails to you both. We love having the motorcycles to explore from camp and scout unknown roads.
Induction cooktops are the way to go. I have used induction for years and do not regret one minute. In fact, my power bills are lower due to induction.
I knew it would be a Rossmonster Baja when in the last video you said you wanted a pass thru. You laid some coin out for that beauty. It will give you years of joy though. Enjoy!!
How exciting, beginning of a new phase in life. With winter coming it will be so nice to get inside with the hydronic heating system. Looking forward to watching your adventures as you explore in your new rig, congratulations Peter and Carol.
Awesome video as always Epic Family Road Trip. Congratulations on your new rig Carol is smiling from ear to ear thinking about all the delicious food she can cook in totalled comfort. Can't wait to see all the new epic adventures.
As I said on the previous video. I was really hoping you'd choose this vehicle. I've been personally eyeing one for myself in a couple years. Just seems like it has everything you'd need. Period. Congrats again and best of luck.
This rig is ingenious having the actuators and solid walls solves the top heavy problem especially for off road trails I wonder how sturdy they are in terms of taking a fair bit of bumping about if it can cause an alignment issues over time but I’m thinking as it’s a solid build that might not be a problem. Everything is on the inside with all piping etc so will be good through winter too. Great layout and extra sleeping area. The pass through is a game changer! Double cab truck gives more space for storage or having guests along. This is one sweet rig for going on trails. Caroline your beaming smile said everything you got your dream smooshed cozy cabin and 5x4 adventuring - love the molles, it’s a beautiful beast! Well you’ve given me something to aspire to but have to win Lotto first lol 😂 I so can’t wait to catch up on the paces you’ve put her through and the recent upgrades you’re getting done… snug as a bug in a truck - woohoo 🙌🥰
This is by far the best overland truck setup i have seen on the tube. Love the pass through feature along with all the other items you have covered in the video. bravo!
All i can say is WOW. Everything I would want in a vehicle you have done. Congratulations. Same type of vehicle theme as " Truck House" uses but in a much more refined luxury design. Its easy to see why you have been so successful in life with the well thought out choices you have made through the years.
What a great rig, so perfect for your future adventures. Comfort is not a bad thing. Be safe in all your new journey's. Love seeing your dog with you again.
Oh! This is a sign that you are getting older, when you seek comfort for your adventures. (Joking) Very nice ride, too bad it a Ford :o))))))) have fun with your new toy.
thanks for a 2nd video today touring your rig! it's really, really nice! i get your endless smile carol! happy for you guys. i am respectfully partial to rossmonster as a builder. i love luke and ross's attitude of "you dream it we build it." they are most impressive! continued travel mercies and blessings.🕊
Reminds me of my in-laws. As soon as the last child left the nest, they completely remodeled their house (which had been unfinished for twenty years) got rid of two whole rooms of stuff they had been hoarding in the living room and basement. So before their four kids shared two bedrooms and an unfinished bathroom and now the parents had two band new bathrooms and extra living room, all new appliances an office and three bedrooms.
Looks interesting, but I'd love to know the trucks GVWR, then the weights of the front and rear axle when the truck is wet and loaded with food and clothing for a trip.
Excellent. My wife and I have been on a similar journey and we really appreciate all the research you have done. We have been trying to find the perfect mix of comfort and adventure. Last year we towed our Ford Raptor behind a 40' super C. They idea was the Super C was our base camp and we could do some off-roading in the truck (which also has a Go Fast Camper). This just proved to be too much and I hated driving the Super C. So we sold the Super C and bought a similar Mercedes C class that you have, great flexibility and drivability but we have lost our off road capabilities and the power required to tow our truck. I'll be watching with great curiosity how you make out with this new awesome rig. I hope I get to see it in person when you get back up to the cabin - hopefully I'll see it parked at Ramako's one day!
This looks amazing! It just needs some EFRT graphics to personalize it and it looks ready for some new adventures! Have fun, enjoy, and keep on sharing your travel stories with us 😊!
Wow! Now that's a vehicle. Good thing that you got a Ford, it is a dependable base. I have an F250 diesel 4x4 super cab with a short bed. I use it as both a camper and truck. I have a slide in camper when I don't need to take the Jeep(s). I would keep some spare DEF for just in case. Since you will be far from cities. Also every time you fill up check your DEF level. Most fuel stations that support truckers will have DEF at the pump. But you can buy it at any auto parts store, I've noticed that some regular stations sell it in boxes in the store. I like Blue DEF. Have a good time in the truck. I hope to you "down the road". God Bless safe travels.
I love your new home , travel, and absolutely durable transportation you guys should be OK safety was definitely put in to this project building this travel truck. Hope you have a wonderful time. Love all you guys.❤
Excited for you guys!! I noticed when he was giving you the tour of your electrical system, that he told you you’d never have to worry about doing anything with the solar charge controller. I hope he explained to you that if you do shut off your battery system, be sure to also shut off the breaker to your solar charge controller, otherwise the charge controller will have nowhere to send the power that it is receiving from the panels and you’ll damage your charge controller. It’s all a lot to take in when you have the walk round, but I’m sure they gave you another thorough explanation and you guys have an off grid system at your cabin, so you probably know all that already 😁
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, you guys are going to love that truck and it’s a Ford even better and that cab very nice I am definitely jealous 😊😊😂😂 ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Good luck getting parts for that 2023 ford..the county I work for is the biggest in the USA and we mostly have fords in out fleet ..and brand new trucks are always breaking down and we’re usually told parts are on national back order..Nice rig though 👍
Heartiest congratulations many times over for your new adventure mobile. Watching this video, can't help but feel one needs an engineering degree to understand all, especially the electronics. Congats again for the new ride! Took a sneak peek last week through Patreon.
Congrats & thanks for all that you do to share your adventures & lessons on the road. Have an awesome new beginnings & safe travels w/ this amazing rig. 💕
Soo thrilled for you all! I am already imagining your epic African safari! One day….I hope. Re: induction & pots - I love our Magma pots but the more budget T-fal Ingenio stainless steel set of 3 have have also been fine for induction use too. The Magma handles feel like they will last longer and sit outside the pot. Curious to see a comparison between these and the Stanley you use. I like your Stanley’s lid strainer. So thrilled for you both!
I feel like Rossmönster will appreciate this added Lagun table flexibility by YT elfis.rocks “The most variable table solution in the world?” Might be overkill with the U-shaped dinette but figured I’d mention it. It’s a double legged mount…I also wonder if with enough height that table will be like an added countertop for your kitchen?
Amazing!!!!!! You all have had some amazing Adventures but this may be the beginning of the climax! Super excited to see what lies ahead of course there will be some bugs to work out with the systems but I'm sure it's going to be a fun ride
Love your new poptop camper. I've never seen one like yours with a solid sided pop up. It looks great and I can't wait to see more of your adventures in it. What will you name it? Love your videos.
nice set up the only thing I would of changed would of been a toilet with a black water tank but the draw back to that is you have to find a dump station where as with the Cassett you can pull it out and dump it in a toilet anywhere . my black water tank holds 25 gallons so I can go quite a long time without dumping it . really nice set up and looks very well built with the frame would like to see more about the truck maybe someday thanks
That is an amazing build. I've never seen anything like that before. I do think you are going to miss an outdoor kitchen though. It should not be a hard fix but will take up valuable space. I'm looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces.

WOW , VERY NICE....I am so very happy for you all... May GOD bless you , your family, and all your travels to come....Don
Thank you so much!
Very cool. Looks like it fits the bill of what you wanted in your next rig. Congratulations!
That is a very well layed out unit. Very impressed.
It's like a home away from home has all amenities that you need for overlanding I love it

Congratulations guys, beautiful choice of wheels.🇨🇦

Good luck getting parts for that 2023 ford..the county I work for is the biggest in the USA and we mostly have fords in out fleet ..and brand new trucks are always breaking down and we’re usually told parts are on national back order..Nice rig though 👍
Fingers crossed!
Good morning!!
Love the new rig guys! Looks amazing and should serve you well.
Can't wait to see it in action! ❤
Thank you! Can't wait.
What a rig!! Congratulations again, have blast out there ❤️
Heartiest congratulations many times over for your new adventure mobile. Watching this video, can't help but feel one needs an engineering degree to understand all, especially the electronics. Congats again for the new ride! Took a sneak peek last week through Patreon.
Beautiful rig, great choice. It look super capable. We look forward to following your adventures.
Love the new rig. Happy camping.
I guest close, not a earthroamer, but it's still a Ford and I think I like that setup butter for mover ability.
HEY! Good morning and Congratulations!!
Perfect!! So happy for you two!!! Happy trails!😊😊😊
Thank you
Congratulations and can't wait to go on the first journey 🙌🏾
I’m so excited for you guys! This is going to serve you so well for the next decades of adventure! I can’t wait to see it in person.
Thanks Peter!
that truck is amazing. thanks for introducing me to them.. i've never heard of them...
Wow what a amazing truck you have got not! So Nice and congrats to it injoy and hope to see you one day here in Sweden! Its time for the world tour!
It’s beautiful! Great choice guys. Ford all the way here as well. Reliable vehicles. Always!
Not the diesels unfortunately. Poor choice.
@@redrubi3942
Maybe after a us$10,000 aftermarket 'bullet-proof'?
I still prefer a Cummins 8.3 mechanical...
...in a much stouter foundation.
Wow what a vehicle
Congratulations!!!! Can’t wait to see the adventures coming
Holy wow that is a nice new rig! Congrats on the adventures.
Congrats & thanks for all that you do to share your adventures & lessons on the road. Have an awesome new beginnings & safe travels w/ this amazing rig. 💕

Oh and adding that lagun table leg mount somewhere on the outside - with a stainless table top would be a great grill table surface outside.

Congratulations, enjoy that new ride.
Coolest off-road vehicle I've ever seen congratulations very excited for your family

You're very welcome you are a wonderful family and I love all your videos
Congrats on your new ride!! Looks awesome, and perfect for your next adventures!!
WOW!!!! AMAZING!!!😲❤😲 So much to be thankful for!!
Amazing!!!!!! You all have had some amazing Adventures but this may be the beginning of the climax! Super excited to see what lies ahead of course there will be some bugs to work out with the systems but I'm sure it's going to be a fun ride
Thanks for the tour. Great looking rig , enjoy guys .
Cheers from niagara.
You're going to love those tires. They're not mud terrains... but otherwise the best tires ever!!!
Congrats! Looks awesome!
Love the new Ride. Cant wait for more adventures.
That pass through is great. Show us more of it from inside the truck!
Awesome love it!!!! Excited for you guys!!!
Exciting new season ahead. Enjoy!
Amazing Beautiful Video ❤💯
Love your new poptop camper. I've never seen one like yours with a solid sided pop up. It looks great and I can't wait to see more of your adventures in it. What will you name it? Love your videos.
“So much room for activities” 😉 Love this for you guys! Can’t wait to see all of your future adventures in that Monster!
Love your new adventure vehicle! Enjoy the ride!

Saw this beauty parked at REI today. Nice!
I plan on selling my place I got a small farm and I will be down to see you guys cuz that's the kind of camper overlander I want
what a shame they didn't fix a proper 12v conversion of the starlink, will lover the watt usage as well.
Just Wow!! So excited for you guys! It must feel like Christmas! Look forward to seeing your future experiences in comfort!❤
That is an amazing build. I've never seen anything like that before. I do think you are going to miss an outdoor kitchen though. It should not be a hard fix but will take up valuable space. I'm looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces.
