It is so impressive to learn how to do all this and then do it yourself. I can barely walk from the kitchen to the living room without spilling my coffee. People like this are inspiring.
@Idk__ I think it's the practicality/risk involved. If you fuck up, it matters. Insulation, wiring, and not to mention getting your rig insured. I dream of doing stuff like this but worry it's not even worth it. If the truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere, good luck finding a mechanic who can fix LMTV's.

What a well engineered and thought out home. Propane tied down, extinguisher next to wood stove, air flow fans, engine heating up shower water, etc. Amazing!
Used to drive these in the 🇬🇧 military, many nights spent in the back of these and many miles driving, perfect imo for camping. Reliable, 4x4, decent amount of engine power.
Our rig -- 1996 Ford CF8000. Cummins 505ci mechanical through an Allison 3060. We rarely get better than 14mpg. Our interior -- 7w x 12 l x 7h, about 600cf. Weight across the scale -- 14,000#. GVWR -- 29,000#. (And 'yes', I am familiar with the Pound Me Too 'movement'.)
By far the absolute best build I seen! Exactly what my wife and I want to build. I’d love to find one of them trucks here in NC USA! Beautiful job man!
This is hands down one of the nicest living spaces I’ve ever seen. I love the garage setup and the inside of this home with the table to separate the sleeping quarters and kitchen is a great layout. I’d do a log cabin like build myself and the barn wood is a great idea. What a great build!
I'm in love mate, it reminds me of the inside of a small sailing yacht from the turn of the 20th century. I spent the whole video looking for things I would change and the only one I got is I would use a drop-in icebox right where your insulated box is instead of the refrigerator and use the fridge space for more dry goods storage. absolutely superb build
I have seen most luxurious camp trucks but with a tight budget and everything you have done it’s completely amazing. The things which i like the most is- 1. Dog area which i never seen before. 2. Classic simple Dinning table with window just in front of kitchen as most of the luxury trucks fails in this thing. 3. The garbage and shoes area are just behind main door. When you put washroom and kitchen garbage it will not stink or smell because you can open door. Moreover you will never forget to dump it. 4. The bed have bookshelfs and moon roof. 5 The last and most important which i have liked the vehicle, the mechanism, its not complicated like new ones as anyone can repair at anywhere if it’s have problem. To conclude the only thing that i want too add is little cockpit door which will connect both of them through bedroom.
Ive had a flatbed one many years ago .It had twin 20mm AAA at the back. It was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid. Now after seeing yours, I want a real one just like that.
Great Job on the conversion! Stumbled on your video and realized that you bought the truck from Red Deer motors where I work. Definitely ended up in the right hands. Enjoy
First truck i lived and travelled in through france sud,was an ex military austin k9, called Kati k9,,2yrs and 2children ,,one born whilst travelling,,early 80,s,,so happy to see lots of people getting to live and travel like this ,,its super good fun, this is a real pimped ride ,,mine was incredibly basic,,🤣🤣

I also had a problem with odor from my selfmade compost toilet so I added a 5v computer fan in front of an old vacuum hose to the ground. The odor is gone and de humanore stays a lot dryer.
This is perfect, I also live in BC, would you let me come check it out in person? It’s been my dream to build something like this for a long time, and I think your layout is the best I’ve seen.
@@SlowRoamers I just got notification dat u commented thanks on my comment .. so I felt like watching the whole video al over again... N I noticed a smal water pump made by pentair water .. it is manufactured here in Its India unit, where I work.. there is a high chance that pump was made by me not sure though🙂
Rushed or not, he made a nice vehicle with a very interesting interior. Get out there, see how it works for you, and change as you go. I’m on version 2.0 of my sprinter. Version 1.0 was an air mattress in an uninsulated, windowless van. Been camping and exploring since we rolled it out of the show room! I fully expect to never achieve perfection before I wear it out!
BTW I have pilot friends exactly like him, they travel around the world, buy expensive stuff and have highly paid jobs, and they would tell you. They have never ever had to work in their life, they occasionally do it just because and to say the do something with their lives. Im suprised he is not an F1 pilot ( or something like that), as my friends are.....again just because
What an incredible bargain! 70k Canadian is about 55k usd at the moment, and this could easily sell for 200-250k usd. The 1,300 mile range is pretty amazing too. I’ll be keeping an eye out for one of these vehicles…
I can't believe you build this by yourself..wow👌🏻😃 congrats But i never thought it would be costly that Much... Wish you a pleasant time with your flying home 😁
That DAF would’ve no doubt come from BATUS. The UK have an agreement with the Canadians to use Suffield Training Area in Alberta, it s about 50km from Medhat. We used to do huge exercises on the Prairies out in BATUS so I would’ve thought this would be a product of that.
Awesome job. Just got myself a Mitsubishi 4x4 tipper truck (for general farm and excavator carrying duties) and am planning on building a slide on camper unit for it. It has a 3.5 x 2.2m tray with removable sides and tailgate, but there are fixed rear corner posts. I’m looking into making them removable for ease of sliding the camper on. The tuck has 4 huge steel toolboxes already fitted.
You should made a way from your bed to the front for emergency get away. Just a suggestion. More copper is nice. I don’t see any fishing rods. Love your home. Take care.

The Leyland diesel engine is legendary. Can still recall the rhythmic grunt of the engine at idle.
This truck is honestly a masterpiece.
Thanks! 🙌
Best one I've seen on TH-cam, and he's Canadian, extra points there.
Your desire to create a home out of reclaimed & treasured materials has turned into a beautiful traveling home. Great job.
