UNIMOG + JAYCO = BEST EXPEDITION CONVERSION ??

We start the Jayco Penguin conversion for the Unimog u1700, Is this the easiest and ultimate expedition conversion ???

[@doinitmoggystyle]

Hey Sam... I love this Idea, you and Jai are going to start something with this... I wonder what the DOT have in the regs with a door on the drivers side from a safety point of view... I have not seen any specific rules on this, but Im pretty sure that some USA based units have to have the doors converted to be on our passenger side... I hope Im wrong.... Great video again old mate...

A few people seem to have the same concern , As this is classed as a "slide on camper " there are no regulations as to what side the door must be one .

[@doinitmoggystyle]

@@chasing_the_dog3277 Awsome Sam, glad you are all over it. Keep up the great vids mate.

[@ridesingles]

Wouldn’t of bothered with the Ac mate, can’t use it while you’re driving. But being so anal I can see why you did 😂

[@andrefischer5025]

Why do you have to rotate the aircon?

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

​@@andrefischer5025 because we are mounting it backwards on the truck

[@shanenorwell8580]

Cool project mate. Were you able to order it unregistered to avoid stamp duty/onroad costs ect?

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

No they wouldn't sell it like this

[@samtucker1420]

Well done.

[@4x4EastCoast]

Nice work boots Pete 😂

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

🤣🤣

[@HuntingOldYella]

Can i respectfully ask why you are turning it the opposite direction?

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

Will all make sense when it's on the back

[@Mosesk1988]

I did not realise jayco still uses ply board wood. I thought it was all composite materials.

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

Yeh still a lot of plywood everywhere only the outer skin is fibreglass

[@Thelifespace]

Gosh this was cringe to watch and why are you pulling everything little thing apart.. would of made more sense to buy a pop top caravan then this little thing

[@chasing_the_dog3277]

Pop top caravan was too tall for what I'm after,
