    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Bob built this amazing DIY rig to explore off the grid with his family. A normal Class A just wouldn't cut it for Bob. He utilized his engineering skills to put together one of the most unique rigs I have ever seen. Instead of going with a normal box in the back, he implemented slides with some pretty clever bedding options. Thanks for watching!

    When it comes time to get off the grid, a 6x6 is a perfect rig! Anyone else dream of living in something like this?

      I would LOVE to make this build. Skoolies are awesome, but this is NEXT level in customization, power, and ability.

      Great job!! I love it and very well thought out. I was going to ask why you swung the refrigerator doors that way but then noticed they would have pinched on the wall if they went the other way. Good thinking on conserving space.

    • @jinatlas8674
      @jinatlas8674 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@SirCheese710 Why wouldn't any Americans have that mentality? Who know when someone with a gun would appear out of nowhere and start shooting people cause he/she have a bad day? Am I right like a recent case about guy from Murica shooting inside a mall just cause he was denied to watch movie.

    As much as I love camping I'm just like this gentleman, I want to go where no one else is and not just be on top of other campers. Also with that 6x6 he'll be able to roll right over anything he comes across. Beautiful overall build with incredible craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this with us all. 🙏🏻

    What a tuff rugged rig! My first thought was this is a beast. It’s one of top kind of rig! I knew that he must have an engineering. Love all the beds hold up and hide out-of-the-way. Ingenious Army truck with all the necessities for off road trips 👍

    I know he's trying to retire and relax, but he should build these as a side business. Far better workmanship than most commercially-produced RVs.

    Also not for the average person to store and drive. This is a huge rig. Limits city touring.

    Couple questions I wished were answered are: what is the weight of the rig, what's the mpg, and how's it drive.
    All I can say is these videos and enthusiasts that create these builds and go on theses adventures are inspirations!
