    We love to travel and build expedition vehicles. Our goal is to inspire others to build their very own Truck, motor home, caravan, Camper Van or trailer.
    Our channel will showcase short videos on our first build - where we transformed an old rural fire truck into a fantastic expedition vehicle - that's carried our family on some wonderful adventures. We will also profile amazing builds that others have created.
    If you have any questions or would like us to cover any content please comment below. We are keeping this series totally 'grassroots' and we can and look forward to seeing you somewhere in this amazing country.

    I spent three weeks vacationing in that rain forest (Cairns). 70% of the annual rain fall fell in that three weeks. Loved every minute of it. What a lovely trip you had.

      Hey Kevin, cheers we pondered a long time on this one to make it work. One of the challenges was the off the shelf bed lifts were not strong enough for all of us to ride up to the roof top deck. We had to make it from hydraulics. Again thanks and we have a new project underway.

    • @landyachtsaustralia
      @landyachtsaustralia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much for your comment. So we used hydraulics to lift the bet up and down driven via a 24vdc power pack. The controller we used was a more industrial one. The reason was we are in the process of converting the roof to a button lifting mech. I will do a video around it. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

    love the roof top bed and solar panel tilt up railing. Question..... roof top bed.... is that just a home brewed large box with bedding in it on the roof? Did you put access from inside to that spot thru a roof hatch?

    • @landyachtsaustralia
      @landyachtsaustralia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Coachgeo, Thank you for your comment. With the bed, the box you see on the roof is to house the bed during normal use of the truck and also lifts up to allow for sleeping at roof top. We can ride the bed up and down. I hope this helps with your question. If it hasn’t please feel free to reach out.

We built this truck over a couple of years and at the time were not looking at doing any videos so we haven’t got as much content as we really should have.
