ULTIMATE VAN TOUR - 4x4 offroad mercedes g wagon for overlanding van life

- CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THE ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD CAMPERVAN. This might just be it. Well, at least for us, this converted Mercedes G-Wagon turned out to be more capable than we could have ever imagined. Not only is it road legal in Germany, but it is also able to handle all types of terrain, like blizzards, very deep rivers, high winds, and keeps you comfortable the entire time. The interior cabin has hot water for showers, a bathroom, an electric induction stovetop, a fridge, two separate bed options, and massive amounts of storage for tools, food, and clothing. Plus, there are two solar panels mounted on the roof, and the 180ah Lithium battery can also be charged while driving, so you're never low on power. I don't think we've ever seen a van build so luxurious and functional, every single detail has been perfectly planned and executed.
This beast is named "Gregor," and we got the opportunity to test him out for two weeks in Iceland thanks to Lou's cousin Tim and his wife Rike, who had him built by the pros at ORC. We hope you enjoy this van tour and if you have any questions about the vehicle make sure to leave them in the comments and we'll try to get back to you!
We wanted to get you all the information you might be curious about, so we talked to Lou's cousin Tim who is the owner of this beautiful G-Wagon and got all the details for you :)

The things money can buy... Insane
Seriously prob cost what I paid for a house (most likely more)
Levent Oerkue and they say money can’t buy happiness.
But Money can buy this and I'd say it's pretty close to happieness
soooooo....money can buy happiness. yep :)=
Ridiculous, OVERLAND without comfy sacrifices
Step 1. Have a family member who owns a kick ass van!
My grandfather did that with his G Wagon in the 1980's :) but just with a 72hp engine :D Now ich have a G-Wagon too and I'll prepare it for such journeys and more :)
@@felix_themechanic7095 sounds awesome!
@@tassinmonkeys it is! but its so much work to do... rust over rust -.- it goes on and on :)
Wonderful setup this! You must be so great full for having been give the pleasure of using it. Bring down south in africa and you’ll love the top bed 👌
That’s the coolest overlander I have ever seen 💪
Lol one of the few G-Wagons that have actual off road experience.
Really awesome build!
From a Mercedes Benz reviewer, this is an incredible masterpiece. You really can’t go wrong with a G wagon, at all. High tech with all the bells and whistles. Ultimate off-road and camping 🏕 SUV.
I love the tender way your husband teaches you things like the air compressor--so wonderfully sweet!
I love that the van ist called "Gregor the dirty" - how fitting for his off-road adventures!

Y’all have such a beautiful life! Thank you for sharing these moments with us! How lovely 🌸
Love this Offroad series :) Lou's video editing has been getting better and better! Greetings from Portugal!
This thing would be great in an apocalypse if we ever had one...
Oh wait!
alback exactly what I was thinking! This is a prepper’s vehicle!
We do have one called Covid-19
we are having one covid19...
alback yes this THING would be great. I would steal it.👏🏻👺
What an incredible build! Thanks for taking us along.
Yessssss ! Suddenly wanting Gregor stickers !😍 lovely video 💙💙💙
What a beast!
Definitely has a few more creature comforts than my old defender 110!
This build is amazing and this video presented and produced as well as the 4x4 itself! Well done!
I have no words, you are incredible! Congratulations
Was watching ur 100 day work out video..and popped up notification for this video.. 😇🤗.. love ur energy guys..
This is one of the my favorite van car i have seen on youtube. You guys did great job.
looks like an apocalypse campervan
Wow Tim and Rike have done an
amazing job doing up this vehicle.
Hot showers and fancy little glasses and.... What could be
better. Would like to add that I
love listening to both of your
voices. Love your accent Dana and Lou has such a superb gentle
voice for presenting. Much love
from Switzerland.
Wowza!!! What I beautiful build! Loved the Iceland series! Hope there’s more😬🤷🏻♀️👍🏼
Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for doing this video 🥰, really was looking forward to the tour after watching your previous videos. Wow this is one of the best setups I have seen. I like smaller trucks over large trucks; they are easier to travel with, easier to ship, easier to park. Very cool ❤️!
i freaking love the door/entrance to the cabin, it just looks something from like space movie so cool, defo one of my favs vans so far.
2:55 Woah wait, that's a lot of rice!! the people I know that eat that kind of amount of rice for a living is the Filipino people.
Great job explaining everything. Thanks
Very nice video, beautiful shots of the car while driving!
The basic G is built in my hometown Graz (Austria), but the total rig is as german as it gets. Technical nerdism and overengineering everywhere, lovely! 😍😍😍
I'm so exited for this video!💞
Great video as always. Can really tell how appreciative and grateful you are of the opportunity in the way you tell the “story”.
Brilliant off road camper. Very clever design.
Wow.... simply brilliant!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Perfect if we were ever in a situation where we needed to socially isolate.
Oh, yeah. #backtorealiaty.
Beautiful build and a great walk around / tour. Thanks for sharing.
I loved Ody so much but Gregor is a straight beast!!!
Great tour of this vehicle. I am jealous. Seems like the perfect van to take anywhere and for survival too.
Не реально классные ребята !!!)очень качественное видео ,) Интересно слушать и смотреть ,Лайк !!!
If I had seen the scenery in a painting I am not sure I would of thought it was realistic. Spectacular scenery, what a grand adventure .... thanks for sharing. Loved the music and the video. Until next week stay safe.
Best build by mercedes.
No words to say. Loved it ❤️
O 2 🐝 rich! WOW! Thankyou for sharing!
The best Van I have seen by far!!
One day...... I will have a van like this of my own!!!!!!!!
Aum Thakore no you won’t but it’s cool!
Epic 4wd setup, really a round the world car!
beautiful as always
Nice, simple and sincere...great video
I so much enjoy yalls dispositions🥰😘😉😊. You are so unlike so many other You Tubers whom are better seen than heard or who just should make videos with CC on them🤔😉🤣. I figured id be done with your page after yall sold the van but your smile kept me coming back😉😉😉😊😊😊. keep em coming.
Awesome tour
So glad for you both that you have had such an amazing vehicle to travel in. Blessings, Grace in India
Lovely video...awesome vehicle!!!
It’s such an awesome vehicle!
WoooW nice car and having more space . Best for everything
Love your gratitude 🤙🏽🙏🏼
You have so warm nature.be happy always.Love from India.
Was having a slow day, opened up youtube and I'm right on time for the video. gonna be a good day
also this van is incredible! I wish they sold it as it is now, as well, instead of having to do such an extensive and expensive renovation
2.57 burned rice - buy a "Bain Marie" double saucepan, one on top of the other, fill the bottom with some water - but do NOT let it boil dry - and you will never burn rice again.
Absolutely AMAZING!! (I would be terrified to drive through a river! 😱😳) Missed you guys. 💙
One awesome ORV... Love it !!
Wow, what a car! German engineering at its best! Hard not to get jealous!
Apart from the beautiful landscape and an incredibly capable vehicle, the narration was excellent. This style of involved story telling is often missing in professional content but thanks to alternative platforms, independent story tellers, who would not be part of organized companies are being discovered and appreciated by people world over.
What a treat after Odie:-) I have a 1983 van and would love some luxury!
What a great Adventure!!!
Nicely done! I'm a millionaire and money no problem ...I went to get a $1 pizza slice the other day and I just loved it .I'm planning on buying a Pizzateria and posting it on TH-cam .
OMG, looks like you guys got this van from a movie! I love it. Every single video makes my travel bug grow big haha
That is Mercedes Benz and German engineering. The Best of all.
Hey, i hope you enjoyed my country.
One thing i am going to mention, you really should have a wading stick/staff when going out in the rivers.
Nice videos from you two.
What a great video. Love when you laugh !!!
Nice to watch the such modification👍
Sehr gut und viel Spaß
I don't even know how to drive but you make me wanna try van life so bad! Now I'm traveling as cheap as possible making videos for hostels in exchange for accommodation but maybe in the future! You guys have a unique storytelling style (:
Anyone can drive, it just takes practice bro that's all to it ✌️
@@DK-dd3ds people too young to get their license...
Amazing what you can build on a budget , love it.
"build on a budget"? don't think so, the car itself blow most peoples budget - not to mention the the build itself. That dream machine is a luxury, not on budget...
Super machine and persons ! To go everywhere......Travel light!
THIS IS AMAZING
Amazing & excellent camper van 👍👍👍👍
Hi there, I have been following your episodes on Iceland. Nice videos and fun to see your perspective on my country. I do overlanding as well in one of those big modified 4x4's. I am sure you saw at least one of those on your travels here.
I want to correct one thing in your video. You can wildcamp in Iceland, but there are caveats. You cannot sleep in a motorised vehicle or in something that is pulled by a motorised vehicle. So it must be a tent/bivy or sleep directly under the stars. It must be on untilled land and not fenced in. There must be no visible sign from a landowner prohibiting camping. You must be a reasonable distance away from an organised campsite or human dwelling. You are only allowed to camp for one night at a time in that spot. No more than three tents are allowed in one group. If you are in a vehicle then it must be legally parked somewhere. You cant drive the car into a wildcamp site as that would be illegal offroad driving, so obviously these caveats are meant for hikers and cyclists, but if you can manage to park your car legally somewhere and bring a tent, then it is doable. Wildcamping is prohibited in South Iceland, but anywhere else it is allowed as long as you follow these rules. If you ever return to Iceland, then I recommend either coming in march and try to go for a "superjeep" on a glacier, or visit during july and august and aim for the far less trodden areas, like the North East and Westfjords.
I really love this ❤️
That look cool driving around my town.
What a vehicle! I love my rice but it took me awhile to learn not to burn the bottom, the method best for me is, I wash the rice real well drain, Warm the pot put a tablespoon of oil in, fry the rice till it dances than put the water or broth in, stir bring to a boil, cover turn off heat fifteen or so minutes when the rest of the meal is cooked so is the rice. I hope this helps sweet girl continue to be safe n lots of fun on your journey.
Fantástico!!! Seria um sonho me aventurar mundo a fora... ✌🏽😃👏🏽
I laughed a lot during this video. Also, damn Tim! What a kick ass build! I’d be worried with only one battery but hell if the sun is out you’re golden! That build is beautiful! I had to sub! Loved the personality of the couple! Looking forward to more adventures
What a nice G-Wagon. Have one myself but with the normal body. thinking of building a smaller version of the one you drive to, at first, explore norway where i live with my gf. But the extra room inside looks so cosy. Might have to rethink my plans. Have a nice time!
Love to the echosounder superman!
Great van life with great budget :)
My 02 crv has been through deeper water much much deeper lol im sure this thing is much more capable than you think i also didn’t have a snorkel great video awesome van i always loved the g wagon best luxury vehicle on the planet imho
I'm so happy for u
Eu não entendo nada do que você falou , mas quando você sorri eu entendo que você está super feliz por estar em sua casa , e isso que importa , estar feliz , sentir-se feliz 🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👏👏👏
Super frumos, nu Red ca sunteți voi, v am urmarit celelalte filmulețe când erați cu cealaltă mașina. Sa aveți noroc de aceasta masina
My god, blissful.
awesome ❤❤❤
Great ! It ’s our yearning camper.
LOVE IT
Love u guys. Dinè nation. Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Just found your channel and the Iceland videos. I'm starting also on the earlier hard won Mercedes van overhaul process; you certainly deserved use of some uber luxury in Iceland. High chance I suspect you will gravitate to a 4x4 truck conversion on your next chapter of life !
that's very nice
Extend the exhaust up to roof level - no more worries - great wagon.
That’s a great solution for the 0.2%.
Whaaaat! I want one!
less than an hour and im here!!!
What a most beautiful and wonderful place, friends, you are to be congratulated, Thanks for the images and the soundtrack. I loved getting to know the place. Surely you have gained a faithful friend to be able to enjoy your corner here. In my corner you will find itineraries of trips and campsites in Brazil. What we do with a lot of affection, if you like to travel for a short trip there in my corner and I will be very pleased to receive you.
