Ik heb ook gelijk geabonneerd toen ik jullie verhaal tegen kwam in een AD artikel dacht ik. Maar echt een vette truc, of camper beter gezegd. Het is gewoon een mobiel huis. Jullie zijn begonnen wat ik mijn leven lang heb willen doen, en ik kan jullie alleen maar gelijk geven, want je kunt wel blijven uitstellen maar dan komt het er nooit van. Dus echt respect dat jullie het gewoon gedaan hebben. Ik ben het nu ook wel een beetje in aan het halen wat ik allemaal gemist heb, door een keer of 3, 4 op vakantie te gaan per jaar. Het is natuurlijk geen wereld reis maar ik geniet er op mijn manier ook heel veel van. Maqar goed, ik blijf jullie volgen en kijk uit naar de nieuwe video. Enjoy life.
Hoi, bedankt voor je leuke berichtje! Goed dat je nu lekker aan het reizen bent! Op TH-cam doen we nog niet zo veel maar via Instagram kan je ons dagelijkse leven goed volgen. Groetjes, Michael
Lovely truck and so nice to see how everything works. We love you are traveling with your children, what a wonderful education. We are looking forward to your future videos, you are very natural at it. We love the washing machine!
2003, after a half-century of make-do camping in lesser rigs, we converted a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle. Nearly two decades full-time live-aboard. . Cummins 505ci/8.3-liter mechanical... no computers. Allison 3060 automatic. Air-lock rear axle. . While loading groceries, some scold will chastise us for our extravagance. Our response: * "How many mpg (or km/l) do you get in your apartment?"
Thank you, its always good to hear how others choose layouts, we're hoping to do something in a few years time and speaking to builders now. Best wishes with your travels, love the kids on Instagram
What an awesome truck!! Beautifully done. My partner and I would also love to do a similar thing when we have little ones and i guess a big question we have is $$$. Maybe that could be a video idea for the future, but it would be ver interesting to have an insight into the costs of such a build.
Hi Michael, als vrachtwagen liefhebbers onder elkaar had ik ook wel de cabine even willen zien :) Kijken hoe je daar de extra stoelen had ingemaakt. Voor de rest, super tof hoe deze vervaardigt is!
Hi, Very nice ánd very well organized! And the bed is amazing.... GoPro recording? Saw a glimp of a hill through the window, so I'm curious where you're headed. Keep up the good work and the happy life ;-) Gr. Johan
Hello, Your tiny house on big wheels looks amazing. It has been well thought out. Question; What kind of washing machine is that you have on board? How do you purify your water? Because you only have 350 liters at your disposal? I ask this because i have a boat and am looking for a small washing machine. And i also have 400 liters of water at my disposal. Good luck with traveling.
Wat een prachtige truck een leefunit hebben jullie! Wij zijn ook bezig in het proces om met een expeditie truck voor onbepaalde tijd met onze 2 kids te gaan reizen en gebruiken jullie leefunit als voorbeeld (want super praktisch ingedeeld). Zouden jullie de exacte binnen maten (B x L x H) van jullie unit kunnen delen? Alvast bedankt en veel reisplezier!
@@manfredandthefam can you find just the truck platform in Germany? what modrl is is. Or if there are other similar platforms. Europe seems to be too pricy for fuel and road taxes for anything nowadays because of communists that run that side of the world there. Please more videos
@Pree, Excellent q! We decided on our 1996 Ford CF8000 because: * Common Off-The-Shelf (COTS) parts, easy to service * our Cummins 8.3 250/800 can digest all types of fuel, including brake-fluid and used restaurant oil * Allison automatic * air-lock rear axle * air-conditioning. To extend our range, we mounted an additional 140-gallon fuel tank to supplement the stock 50-gallon, for a total of 190-gallons on the rig. . We fabricated a gooseneck (for the articulation) toy-hauler on a similar commercial chassis. On its poop-deck, we mounted an additional 120-gallon fuel tank. We prefer acquiring fuel in low-tax regions. . In theory, our range without re-fueling -- Anchorage-to-Acapulco. . We rarely travel more than a hundred miles a month. Fuel is a very minor part of our budget.
Great truck , we follow you on Instagram we hope to cross you we are in Germany and go to Danemark and Norway to artic circle next month month . Maybe we will see you
@Andi, At completion? At the initiation? In 2016 money? In inflated -- low purchase-power -- 2022 money? In Zimbabwe, the cost would be several trillion trillion trillion dollars. Specify. . How can anybody put a fiat currency value on the fam experiences together.
We like you, and maybe you'll pass over my words, but .. just few advices.. if you want to grow up this channel: buy a good microphone and camera, keep it stable and take wide shots, take the kids far away from you when filming , they are noisy. Don't exagerate making videos with your childrens, they have the right to be anonymous and after 20 years they may hate you for exposing their life. Even if you love them, think that others might not like their behavior. You have a lot of other subjects to show. Keep it up!

Well done on the truck and the family travel channel. Are you still on the road and what are the plans now?
Hi Daniel, thank you so much! Yes we are still traveling. We are at the moment in Sweden 😀
Hi guys. Would you mind sharing Manfred’s internal layout? Is there maybe a drawing or sketch available with rough internal dimensions?
Hi Manfred family, such an inspiring adventure and truck! We have sent you a private message on Instagram :) Cheers, Chris & Ange

"We use it every day."
How large is the bathroom? Thanks! :-)

Which truck will you choose for world tour and no extreme off road
A. Truck with 115hp and 400 nm 4x4
B. Truck with 170hp and 520nm 4x2

Haaaii, hebben jullie het hefbed zelf gemaakt?
Hoi, nee is door Twiga Travelcars gemaakt.
Zelfgebouwd? Want dan bestel ik graag de volgende.
As discussed during the tour, the fam hired Dutch company Twiga Travelcars to convert the box.
Great truck , we follow you on Instagram we hope to cross you we are in Germany and go to Danemark and Norway to artic circle next month month . Maybe we will see you
Thank you so much! Cool! Lets keep in contact!!
How much did it all cost?
For information on prices please contact Twiga Travelcars ☺️
@Andi,
At completion?
At the initiation?
In 2016 money?
In inflated -- low purchase-power -- 2022 money?
