Love where the shower is, if you come in dusty and smelling like smoke from the campfire, you don’t bring any of that into the living space. I like the top loading fridge as well. Side loaders end up spilling out half of the contents when you open the door after being out on the trail. Well done
It's a good idea but not my cuppa tea. I can imagine relaxing on the shitter with someone tapping on the see through door wanting to go out, or come in.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Well I guess you can add a curtain or change the translucent window to opaque one. But yeah, it works be hella annoying, if someone else wants to come in our go out.
People always say this but I really feel this way this time. Plenty of storage, plenty of water, no propane, nice bed, nice shower, nice toilet, awesome windows, beautiful modern finish on the inside, WiFi. Everything. Beautiful
I’ve been watching minimalist Nomads for months then all of a sudden TH-cam served me up this beast. HOLY CRAP. 😱 Post COVID this rig is ready for world domination.
Excellent work Tony. Thank you for choosing our roof hatch, windows, door and cargo doors for your build. It's been a pleasure working with you. Looking forward to seeing you and your truck next week! Travel On!!
Hi, curious to know how thick are your cargo doors? Insulation material? Also what framing material do you use to prevent the inner surface from sweating in winter conditions? Thanks
Every single thing about this rig I love. Everything. I would live in this full time. Go to work, get off work, walk out to my house. Then on weekends or vacation, I'm gone. Beautiful rig. Damn I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing buddy.
This is my favorite out of hundreds of RV videos I have watched. Brilliant bathroom. That needs to be done in so many of these videos. To many people are doing without showers or toilets. Great job on the build. I wish I knew what you would do different. It looks perfect to me.
I have been considering a build with a FUSO, but it would be designed to look like a cabin, sort of like Timmy’s cabin on his old Ford crew cab up in Alaska, but with a bathroom in it! Nice build, you’re proving I need to start with a FUSO, loved your build.
Hands down my absolute favorite platform...the FUSO! I will own one someday with a Total Composites box, what a perfect pairing for adventure traveling. Hearty thanks to Tony (Akira Studio) for sharing and you for the video, loved it!
The shower / toilet / entrance is GENIUS !! It is such a perfect solution. Toilets and showers are one of the oldest problems with RVs design, it's dead space 99% of the time and generally gets used as storage space anyway. The fridge as well. Keep the freezer out of the way and maximize refrigeration space, because if I see another RV review where they say "featuring a FULL SIZE RESIDENTIAL fridge", I'm going to scream....and scream...why waste so much space.
Wow! Impressive. I have seen many truck builds and this one is a “Role Model”. Love the walk thru shower area. I would want the propane gas for cooking and heating and not waste the diesel fuel.
I get his sentiment that he was sad when the build is done. It must be a real charge in itself to be working on something like this for a long time and solving probems - a while different experience than actually being in it and driving around. Incredible. Must have cost a fortune, but definitely worth it.
Wow! Badass doesn’t begin to describe. It’s almost as cool as my two-person tent with sleeping bag. I have a Capri-sun and the world is my urinal, so all is good!
Super sick build! I remember seeing one of these like 15 years ago pulling into my driveway. it was a guy who built it for his wife to travel through Alaska as she was in a wheelchair.
This guy is a genius.... best build I have ever seen... the hideaway toilet and shower were on point! What an intelligent guy... if he can build a rig like this as amazing as he has, he must be an extremely talented website developer!
Gorgeous build! Best use of space I've seen to date, and loved there wasn't a tacky TV, stereo, hot tub, wet bar, billiards table, etc. in there. If you need that kind of stuff on the road, you may as well stay at home.
Tony has thought of everything, and literally, this is the only way I'd go for a larger rig. Awesome work and I admire his attention to detail and design.
Who’ us ??…he keeps mentioning it 😉 Areal beauty of custom built RV… very through …good use of space… liked the walk through bathroom… areal out of box thinking … & it works 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
i like the idea of using diesel for heating everything. ive seen another overland truck use the coolant from the truck to heat a water tank too. when i build mine, i might have to use both these ideas. also, great idea for the shower room.
I have a Sprinter and would never give it up, but the advantages of a box on the back of a truck are pretty apparent. I can't think of anything I didn't like about this.
Awesome use of the shower like you said not a lot of water so you don't need a lot of time in there and straight from the door shower off and come inside perfect
Another great video. I have been following your channel for several months. I'm a snowbird Wilderness Steward at the Superstition Wilderness and host a campground in Montana . I know campgrounds may not be your thing but I can also help you find dispersed camping in Montana. I'm a senior so helping other seniors get out there !!
Looks discrete enough for neighbourhood stealth camping. Probably sips fuel too. Kidding aside, this is one of the more impressive rigs I've seen, rivaling professional RVs. Great attention to detail and design. Would love to see a build documentary of it. Props.
Wow, this self-built looks so professionally made. The Fuso is a good basis, but in Europa this chassis only has an exotic status because it has an Iveco engine inside and the dealer network is small. Cheers
Blown away by this rig!! Absolutely well designed for function and comfort. So well thought of and detailed. The bathroom/ toilet was a surprise in location but so practical, at the same time, has good enough privacy. Thanks for sharing this video. Enjoyed it so much!
Definitely my kind of thing. Love the idea of the walk through wet room! However, I'm left with 1 question. How deep would I have to dig into my budget? Would be nice to know.
Wow that bathroom idea is fantastic. I totally agree with everything he said there now that I think about it...although it does make it a bit bothersome if you need to get in the camper for something and somebodies using the facilities. lol.
VERY nice. And I'll bet it was 1/4 million dollars less than a Global Expedition or Earth Roamer vehicle. Very well thought-out, and even a #2 with a view!
What an amazing rig, what a great job you did In assembling all the needed components. I just signed up for your channel, this is Alan, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California. God Bless brother Ephesians 2:8 John 14:6

The bathroom entry way is absolutely brilliant, this should be the new standard for every RV built!

Nothing new here, it's in every earth cruiser...

The attention to detail on this thing is just insane!! Tony absolutely killed it. What do you think?
Down2Mob Overland man that’s a bitchin rig! And Canaidjun too! 😎👍🇨🇦
Awesome build, super clean.
My favorite setup ever!
It's awesome
He did a good job I'm so proud of him
Best I've seen yet.
One of the best rigs I have seen.
Me too! The best custom build I have filmed
People always say this but I really feel this way this time. Plenty of storage, plenty of water, no propane, nice bed, nice shower, nice toilet, awesome windows, beautiful modern finish on the inside, WiFi. Everything. Beautiful
Couldn't agree more. Dialed in perfectly. This guy has a talent for sourcing.

That is the best idea ever for a shower, love the whole fit out.

A little foldable electric scooter or bike would be a great addition for small quick journeys.
I watch thousands of these build vids and this one is going to be remembered. Well done!

Most impressive RV I've ever seen.
Wow that's an awesome comment! Tony will be stoked to read that
Check out the Earthroamer.

My friend is building his 4x4 Fuso. We work at B and J Fiberglass and he is building the box from composite, all one piece. Nice build!
I get his sentiment that he was sad when the build is done. It must be a real charge in itself to be working on something like this for a long time and solving probems - a while different experience than actually being in it and driving around. Incredible. Must have cost a fortune, but definitely worth it.
This is a true enthusiast who knows his rig and takes pride in the work he put into it
Wow..! That was one of the best thought out camper builds I've seen. With no budget. I want two of them. One to keep at each house I own. 😁👍
Fabulous and very European. White gloss..
Wow! Badass doesn’t begin to describe. It’s almost as cool as my two-person tent with sleeping bag. I have a Capri-sun and the world is my urinal, so all is good!
Haha I love how much you love your setup - that is cool my friend. Certainly WAY lighter Haha thx for the comment
Crazy. I’ve been designing my camper layout and this is the exact plan I settled on. Stoked to see it works. Thanks.
Holy smoke that bathroom, I never think that concept of bathroom, really brilliant idea.
The best overland rig I've watched so far..perfect size vehicle..Japanese truck beats American truck again...
Super sick build! I remember seeing one of these like 15 years ago pulling into my driveway. it was a guy who built it for his wife to travel through Alaska as she was in a wheelchair.
Probably the best I’ve seen
One of very best rvs I have ever seen. He could do this for a living. Building RVs.
Yes because everyone can afford $300,000 for an RV.
Shower area is just genius. Save lots of space but fully utilize bathroom
This guy is a genius.... best build I have ever seen... the hideaway toilet and shower were on point! What an intelligent guy... if he can build a rig like this as amazing as he has, he must be an extremely talented website developer!
That is the most amazing RV build I have ever seen. The walk through shower and slide out toilet - that blows my mind. That's amazing.
Gorgeous build! Best use of space I've seen to date, and loved there wasn't a tacky TV, stereo, hot tub, wet bar, billiards table, etc. in there. If you need that kind of stuff on the road, you may as well stay at home.
Tony has thought of everything, and literally, this is the only way I'd go for a larger rig. Awesome work and I admire his attention to detail and design.
For a larger rig, its amazing! Looks damn capable offroad and has amazing living space. Truly the best of both worlds!
I agree, its large, but still not too big! The wheelbase is no bigger than an average truck. I love it
Hi, what a 100% perfect rig. Is it a 14 or 16 foot "box". Thanks
I have been watching hours of RV living for last few days while high as fuck. And i must say this one is probably one of the most beautifull ive seen.
Same, but without being high. I bet I've watch 20 hours of this stuff over the past few days. Almost 2am here right now. lol
In my opinion, the pass through washroom is brilliant! I think a real game changer and just so logical.
Definitely the best camper ive ever seen
Who’ us ??…he keeps mentioning it 😉

just FANTASTIC...if only i had 1/100 the skill that tony has !!!
Uh huh. At 1/100th you'd end up with this: th-cam.com/video/cQrKSMAlhNY/w-d-xo.html
This is a money is no object build, this guy owns a luxury home and car as well
I have a Sprinter and would never give it up, but the advantages of a box on the back of a truck are pretty apparent. I can't think of anything I didn't like about this.
Awesome use of the shower like you said not a lot of water so you don't need a lot of time in there and straight from the door shower off and come inside perfect
Must admit, this is one of the best designed RV ive ever seen. Loved the shower especially
That bathroom space is brilliant!
So awesome. What's it like driving these things around town? e.g. supermarket shopping?
Eat Sleep Van super easy and a tighter turning circle than my F150
Now that is a rig i could live in full time, no problem.
A sweet rig and he’s a Pink Floyd man!!!
I like what u wrote at the back “ la vida es una aventura es muy corta para algo mas “ 👍❤️
One of the best I have ever seen! I have seen factory jobs that would not hold a candle to his build.
Awesome, a total house on wheels.Like the access between the cab and tiny house/camper.
That shower/mudroom in the entrance is genius 🥰
That Implementation of the Bathroom is just so f***ing amazing.
Litteraly 200IQ ... saveing space while not skipping out on stuff.
Straight copy of the earth cruiser
Out of all the Overland vids I’ve watched including Earthroamer & Earthcruiser this best damn rig in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥
It seems so perfectly laid out! I would love to see a couple years down what changes were necessary.

The word is "discreet". Discrete means something else.
Better than 99% off the peg rigs. Amazing attention to detail. Love it. Bravo Zulu fella 😎🇬🇧
Wow, best layout ever, and buck for buck the mitsubishi fuso is the BEST truck flr the job, cheap parts that last forever!!! So sweeeeeeet!
Outstanding video! Makes us very happy to see our customers dream come true. Cheers guys
Thank you! Your work is too notch and I hope to one day build out a total composites box of my own!
Wow, this self-built looks so professionally made. The Fuso is a good basis, but in Europa this chassis only has an exotic status because it has an Iveco engine inside and the dealer network is small. Cheers
What a fantastic 4x4 go anywhere mobile home/Camper. Well done 👍Great self build 👍
This is one of the best build I’ve ever seen on youtube! Love the bathroom entrance and huge fridge with freezer in the back.
Tony if you would do this again and enjoy doing it, you can build me one and I would of course pay for it! Absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE it.
Blown away by this rig!! Absolutely well designed for function and comfort. So well thought of and detailed. The bathroom/ toilet was a surprise in location but so practical, at the same time, has good enough privacy. Thanks for sharing this video. Enjoyed it so much!
Quite amazing. There are very original features in this build, mostly the entrance shower/toilet, unique in many, many builds I have seen.
One word ... OUTSTANDING! Well done Tony! Down2Mob Overland just earned another subscriber due to this vid and your phenomenal build.
Personally, I would have left the dual wheel setup in the rear, but other than that...great build and some serious skills there! Very jealous!
Sadly duel wheels are not a solution fir Offroad use, the tires don’t track well and you get to h stuck between the sidewalks causing blowouts
Very nice
Get that wrench on pronto
Cheers
Great design. The shower placement is the best idea ever
I think I saw this rig out at Big Sur CA on or about 2/13/20!? Was at the falls walking towards it and they pulled out. Awesome looking truck!
Bob Weatababyitzaboi ya that was us!
That's a Bristol Boy. Can tell he's been away from home a long time like me, but the R's in his accent give it away.
Hahaa that's great, his accent is awesome!!
Very nice build. Blows away many production builds. Enjoy!
Super... Well done.... Soo creative.
That bathroom! Best idea I have seen ever.
I think I just saw this thing at Grundy Lake Provincial Park last weekend. Blew us all away
Definitely my kind of thing. Love the idea of the walk through wet room! However, I'm left with 1 question. How deep would I have to dig into my budget? Would be nice to know.
Wow Tony is a nice guy - thanks for showing us your rig!
Wow that bathroom idea is fantastic. I totally agree with everything he said there now that I think about it...although it does make it a bit bothersome if you need to get in the camper for something and somebodies using the facilities. lol.
This has to be one of the best interiors of any similarly sized rigs I've come across. Beautiful quality build.
Putting an axe on the outside of your vehicle takes a lot more faith in humanity than I have.
I know I thought the same thing
What a beautiful rig. I really enjoyed this tour. Quick and thorough. 😊👍🏻
On man I love his stair solution. Everyone else has some janky setup that I've seen.
This guy can start his own motorhome company with his rig as model! Genius!
Awesome! Now i know where to put my bathroom! Can't wait till mine is done.
Nice, that is one killer rig!!!!
That is one heck of a rig. Thanks for posting this up and thanks to Tony for sharing his amazing creation.
genius BATHROOM! really doesnt waste any space!
Wooow many smart decisions in such a small area, I love the shower and the kitchen table
VERY nice. And I'll bet it was 1/4 million dollars less than a Global Expedition or Earth Roamer vehicle. Very well thought-out, and even a #2 with a view!
i cant believe this homemade overlander ..... really awesome
This RV is dreamy! Tony should patent this and sell replicas!
What an amazing rig, what a great job you did In assembling all the needed components.
I just signed up for your channel, this is Alan, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California. God Bless brother
Ephesians 2:8
John 14:6
One of the nicest builds I’ve seen. Very nice use of space…and that bathroom design is killer.
I would really like to see more footage of the rigs 4x4ing and being used beyond just the tour
SpaceBoots64 see our Instagram
It would be nice to have seen his build as he progressed.
Wow what an incredible design and beautiful all around 😊
A lucky owner, love the bathroom setup, enjoy.
Beautiful and elegant build !
Shower location is genius 👍🏻
That is the best bathroom/toilet setup I've ever seen.
