- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- With air travel halted, the culture of globetrotting in an RV is seeing a rapid growth in popularity. Surely, a small campervan can do the job if you are used to austerity, but the ultimate rig for this task is undoubtedly an expedition vehicle. Often confused with military trucks, these machines are the baddest boys of camping. Today we will be looking into the newest models out there, that are eagerly awaiting their captain who will take control of the helm to navigate the roads untraveled.

What do you think about expedition vehicles? Are they a real option for exploring the outdoors without any limitations? Or are they just expensive toys for the rich? Voice your opinion on the comments
Toys for the rich obviously,I mean what regular working joe can afford a million dollar camper van?none...exactly,Like I said before,but don't get me wrong if I win a lottery, I'd buy one in a flash.😉
Which one would you buy?
@@MustSeeTech
I would buy the smallest one because I am alone on Earth. Maybe I would get a cat .
I would enjoy driving one for someone else. I will get one when I win lottery.
It is my dream to drive one. If I die I will drive one when I am dead. I will become the driving Gost.
I love them all, but they are definitely only for the rich
That unimog chassis flex!
I want to drive all of them on a trip before I could decide which truck I want.
I use to drive 18 wheelers so I think it would be easy to drive these trucks.
It comes down to height restrictions in some cities.
Why does none of them have a recirculating shower?
I have to watch this video again and again.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They’re all excellent expedition vehicles.👍
I am so impressed, however, with the Crawler Otag 600, which sleeps 4 - 6 people and has a mini office and a roof terrace.
The Temet 5000 Cheetah would have been more impressive if it had a mini office and a roof terrace.
Superb video.👏👏👏 Please, keep them coming.
Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Will do👍
For some reason, I love Earthroamer.
I like when the height, length are given.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Very good info show!
Thanks, Richard
Wow! Impressive!
I was impressed myself. Which model was the best in your opinion?
Gorgeous
Agree. Which model do you prefer?
Honestly, I would be pretty happy with any of these trucks.
Mee too😂
@@MustSeeTech my only requirement is I want the paint job in desert camouflage
Sounds good😁
As a Full Time RVer I can tell you that Dinette booths get very uncomfortable after awhile , you need a comfortable place to sit and relax , especially if it's bad weather outside for a few days. Our RV has two La-Z-Boy swivel rocker recliners and my wife and I are very comfortable in them. I don't see a comfortable place to sit and relax in any of these Expedition vehicles.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your take! What model do you own?
@@MustSeeTech
This one: th-cam.com/video/QHh2mLVYYGY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ScenicDriveways .
Those are the factory recliners that came with our RV , we've since replaced them with LA-Z-Boy swivel rocker recliners.
It's an Outdoors RV Mfg. Mountain Series 24RKS travel trailer.
It is a nice one!
With due respect your RV is not designed to go off road or on unkempt roads in places like Africa so has a pull out which increases your inside space and allows you to have the recliners. Pull outs are hardly ever found on expedition vehicles because it would compromise the strength on the body so space is more of a premium. Most of those had long enough seats to be able to turn sideways and put your feet up to relax.
#8 is awesome
Thanks for sharing!
Hey bro,
What are the best price/value small expedicion vehicles?
Only for one or two.
Kinda on budget nowadays.
Thats exactly nail on the head.these small tear drops even with no bath and toilet are running 15 grand.cant believe it.bobbyharp
Stuck in longisland ny.
@@bobpike6563 Hi Bob. Just saw your comment and I thought of my brother, Robert. He lives in Staten Island and calls it "Stranded Island", LOL. I think we are all looking for that idealyc place to live. World is Nuts. Better fishing up in Long Island than here in NE FL. Unless your rich and have a 36' CC boat. I miss the striped bass on the South Shore Surfcasting. Have a good One.
Theese prices are crazy expensive, I would love to buy but under limited budget I think I'll have to do my own conversion...
Hi, Katarina. A custom conversion is an awesome option as well. You can get everything you need, nothing extra.
We at Nimbl Vehicles are proud to lead this list as an American made Expedition Truck Campers
Awesome build!
Where cab i buy any of these vans?
Fun video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Ouch ouch ouch. These prices physically hurt!!!!
It is not my fault. The market dictates the prices. I just report
@@MustSeeTech exactly the "market".who or whatever they are.if the rig was more affordable ,then a larger number could be sold, thus increasing profit and getting a larger number of families on the road,inFlation and greed are the killers of dreams.wages wouldn't need to be high, if things are less expensive. a simple concept lost in today's consumer throw away world.
These are so more practical than an exotic car. I rather go slow in style than go fast w/ little to no functionality
Thanks for the feedback. Which model for the video is your top pick?
@@MustSeeTech top pick would be the Actionmobil XRS 7200 on the MAN TGS 3 axle chassis
You and me both!! 👍👍
I belive the ultimate motorhome should be designed to "expand outside", most amenities of a motorhome aren´t meant to use on the road anyway, but on a spacious parking, so the best design should be one that use almost no space inside(all become storage) and when you stop, you "unfold" and mount a attached tent outside with most stuff(even kitchen, who cook with the vehicle in movement after all?) That meant, a toilet inside, and maybe a bed, even showers could be outside(inside a tent, or a plastic build similar to a chemical bathroom), that would optimize space usage, and give more cargo and such.
Good idea. There are many smaller trailers that work like that
I agree Earth roamer
🔥🔥🔥
As long as you stay in NA
Hi, Robert. I heard they are difficult and expensive to maintain outside of NA
@@MustSeeTech Very much so. A F550 is very much an Unicorn outside NA.
Well known Australian Explorer Dick Smith used a F550 based Earthroamer to explore Far Eastern Russia Siberia and Mongolia. Although backed by Ford and Earthroamer, the trip was a disaster with the Eaethroamer being left in Mongolia fot six montha untill it could be repaired.
👍👍👍😍
The commander
Maybe a notch too much for my taste:
- At least where I live, you need a professional driver's license for these kinda trucks ➡️ 1 year worth of time
- At least where I live, these cars are more expensive than a whole house
- The parking lot would be huge too
But to each its own! 😁👍
These vehicles are cool!! But, out of my price range!!
Hi, Kathleen. Thanks for watching and commenting. Which one impressed you the most?
How much
Why not Show the Earthroamer HD?
Hi, Ron. It is not new/updated this year. I have it featured in one of my previous videos: th-cam.com/video/_KnI0E8ZhbI/w-d-xo.html
it would do more justice to the Crawler OTAG 600 if it could be based on the MAN TGS 18.360 BL 4X4 + 5.0 in. Lift 9.0 TDI I6 4-Dr Double Cab Off Road Camper Truck (LHD) I can say this from experience!!! catch is the price, it can cost you anywhere between €330,000 - €560,000 depending on options!!! believe it or not some of these all terrain vehicles could easily cost you more than your house!!! as for the ISUZU FTS 800 4X4 + 5.0 in. Lift 6.5 TDI I5 4-Dr Crew All Terrain Camper Truck (RHD), what could be any better except for the legendary MITSUBISHI Fuso CANTER 8C16 4X4 + 5.0 in. Lift 3.0 TDI I4 4-Dr Crew Cab All Terrain Camper Truck (RHD) that started it all!!! the only thing that I don't like in such all in one recreational vehicles are the ultra compact lavatory (although a vital necessity far away from any conventional lavatory / washroom) that's no bigger than your waist!!! and the grey water tank that can helluva mess if not handled carefully!!!
the Ford F-550 Super Duty 4WD + 3.5 in. Lift 6.3 TDI V8 4-Dr Crew Cab All Terrain Light Camper Truck (LHD) based Earth Roamer LTi is a damn good one!!! however it has so many features that you really don't need for e.g. solid wooden cabin interior & granite flooring!!! who needs granite floor in his RV??? besides this feature alone raises the price by €45,000 & spending €45,000 on something that you don't need that hurts!!! more so your conscience as much as your wallet!!! granite flooring is what you would put in your house not your weekender vehicle!!! if I've to have granite flooring & solid wood fixtures I can might as well have that in my farm house over the lake not my Earth Roamer that'll drive us there!!! this is just my opinion, what I think but ofcourse you can choose to disagree with me!!! like all human beings you too have your likes & dislikes & i respect that!!!
Hi. I do agree with you 😉 those posh features are definitely an overkill, especially if we are talking expedition vehicles
The Unimog please.
Good choice!
Can you please show the price of these vehicles..
Hi, the availabile prices are on the screen.

Thanks for the feedback!
How about the Hiace?
Do you mean Toyota? 🤨
@@MustSeeTech Yes. 😊👍
Any list like this that doesn’t include the Australian Unidan Zetros or Unimog configs is difficult to take seriously
Hi there. I focused on the newest expedition trucks in this video
@@MustSeeTech yeah that fair enough
Retiring soon. Selling two properties so that I can afford an Earthroamer!
Best of luck! Roam away!!!
After watching your video I wish I was dead!
But why?
Earth Roamer = best IMHO. kw
Thanks for sharing, Kent
It is, as long as you don't leave North America.
Repairability is a big part of these rigs and fixing a custom rebuilt F-550 in Europe, Asia of Africa will quickly become a nightmare.
Hi, Arrynek. Good point. Which one would you go for?
Until one runs over Canadian Rockies in winter, or waves of zombies, I'm not interested
I think most of these are pretty capable of conquering mounts of zombies 😂
👍👍👍😍♥️🙏💰🚚😘
Hi. What model is your favorite?
meanwhile russian kamaz team won the dakkar
again
11 times in a row
where is kamaz?
Do have a particular Kamaz camper in mind?
Buy a truck and camper trailer have it upgraded in its off road capacity and save $700,000.00
A good truck, trailer and all of the upgrades are still going to cost you.
What are your picks on a budget for truck/camper trailer? Interested to hear your opinion on it! Great price/value budget ones, Maybe top3 truck and top3 camper trailer? 🙂
@@MustSeeTech if I spent 300,000.00$ on a truck and camper,it would rival anything listed here.
@Slippery Storm" said if"
That is how most campers should look like, not the cardboards on wheels most people buy.
However, more comfort they have, less probability to reach any extreme places: too heavy, huge turning radius, it takes lots of energy to run all the bells and whistles, no crew protection in case of falling trees, without a wood stove no fuel no heat and so on.
Great vehicles and setups otherwise.
When the zombies take over or the world ‘collapses’ the rich will be driving round in these while the rest of us will have feet covered in blisters etc 🙈🙈🙈🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️ Saying that, I really like no8
😂 thanks for sharing!
Before i buy Nr 4
I Buy better Nr 2 🤣
👍 thanks for sharing
It’s not a jeep as it’s a poxy fiat, the advert not these machines
Best European brands: UNICAT, UNIDAN ENGINEERING, ACTION MOBIL, CRAWLER, BLISS MOBIL.
Best Australian brands: SLRV, PATRIOT CAMPERS, BRÜDER, NORWELD, WEDGETAIL, ZONE RV, KEDRON CARAVANS and the list goes on...
Best American brands: Global Expedition Vehicles, Earthroamer (better if they offer a 6x6 version).
THE AUSSIES ARE THE BEST IN THE JOB. FULL STOP.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Which brand would you got for?
@@MustSeeTech If going lightweight, I’d choose Patriot Campers (PCOR tray + canopy on a modified Toyota Land Cruiser Series 79 6x6 and a X3 camper trailer full equipped). But if choosing an expedition truck, i could purchase a MAN TGS 6x6 and bring it to SLRV or CRAWLER to let them put the body).
what about us at www.Motorcraftadventuredevelopments.com we have quality and prices to rival all our European competitions
it looks suspiciously like a garbage truck
Lol 😂
This is just a re-edit of other people's footage... nothing new here...
Good though some of these machines may be I won’t be spending my hard earned money on anything European
Hi. Why so?
It’s simple for me, it’s because I’ve always been the type of person who never gives any money at all to Europe after the way they have been treating the uk
