One of the best on wheels house. Guys you have got everything.
misbah Humera thank you!
misbah Humera THEY NEED A DOG. 🐶

Houses are only houses, houses with a cat and a dog are homes....
@@crickethansen9212 why?
Fabulous use of space. You guys really have it made, IMO. Enjoy your travels and life. These are your best years!!!
That is one Superman you have there to do all that building. I wish I have his talents.
they didnt build the whole thing they bought the camper and just changed a few things
Awesome rig !!!!! good luck in your future adventures !!!
Idk who that lady’s fooling-that pass through is too small, in case of emergency and panic they’re gonna get stuck there 😬
I'm also wondering if the truck's rear window can be opened from outside?
No way either of those people are making it through that thing, esp. in a timely manner.
Yea you may want to try that
"escape route" so that the bandito's don't violate you while your stuck in it.
Ostrich syndrome
Beautiful camper. However, I would want a wider emergency pass through to the cab area. It looks quite small to me. Good build though. #Sophia4Christ
Wow! This is ULTIMATE! You said at first you built the structure in SLC. I’m from SLC. Very cool! 😎
I'm from Utah and I grew up in Salt Lake City too, 😅😅😅 Salt Lake is definitely a crazy crazy place
What make/model of refrigerator did you put in?
They’re really scared of fires...
Really cool couple, God Bless them, would like to know where he is originally from ? :-)
A Irizarry hi! Greg is originally from France 🇫🇷
@@DrivenToAdventures Thank You for responding and also for sharing your story. I am always watching tiny home and rv videos. It seems that it has become such a large movement. I am too old and my husband will not go for the adventure lol. God Bless You guys and keep you safe on the road.
Plastic metal????
Everything is great!!.Not at all suitable for stealth camping though.
I cant stop thinking about how small is ur passthrough door
I mean im nkt fat but i can tell that u cant move in that small area
You just crawl through in case of emergency. We've done it with no problem.
@@DrivenToAdventures
But at least u have it
Unlike the others
Anyway ur layout is good
unknown person thank you!
He needs to manufacture this Idea
We need more people like Greg in the world. Always ready to help people in need.
Beautiful God bless yall
We need to be like Greg*
I just bought a used 1 ton dually flatbed 4x4 and have been thinking of building a Stealth-type camper for it and this video gave me some good ideas thank you! IMO they should stay away from long trips south of the border...their truck/camper will be a target for sure. There's plenty to see here in the states, Canada and Alaska. Heck I'd plan a summer trip to Alaska and do a lot of fishing and gold panning! Rig-up a pair of dirt bikes on racks!
Yes. They have to be very careful in Central America. A very dangerous area of the world. Sorry to have to say this. But is the truth.
WOW - why is it that companies that build these campers for a living do not get advice from people who actually use them? Y'all did nice work.
I've studied many, many conversions, and I have to say that these two have probably built the most thought-out and skillfully crafted conversion I have seen so far. Kudos to you both!
This is about 80% of what I want. Take that idea of bed and put it on a 4wd Isuzu diesel truck, or a Fuso, with added water tanks and filtration system for unlimited boondocking. Maybe a little garage for a Rokon Mototractor, or just a fat tire ebike and keep the pass thru. Pretty inspiring design to see it like this though. Can't wait to start mine.
Is that passthrough window tiny bc of perspective or what?
He is a sharp guy. Obviously a good engineer who thinks things through. The EXACT type of person who slows down and say? “Need some help”? A good man ! Enjoyed the video!
If you close your eyes its Kathy Griffin!!
Love your build. Genius.
@thistubeisfucked
😂
Saddle tramp she really does!
Saddle Tramp 😂😂😂
Saddle Tramp yeah, I hear the Griff too.
when a woman asks you about living tiny instead of you asking her....she is a keeper....be safe in your travels..
Excellent build. I would have gone with a slightly bigger cab for the rig and made provisions to be able to pull a trailer. Still, a very thought out build that stands out !
From the outside appearance I never would have guessed there was so much space that fits everything you need. This is a very good build. Kudos to you both! Love it.
Awesome build and beautiful, fantastic craftsmanship. Live large.
Wow what a very good build you thought that through. Very nice 👍 that’s like the Everlanders very kool well built awesome 👏🇨🇦🛠🎄🎄🇨🇦🇨🇦
These rigs are literally tardis'. When I start watching the exterior part of the rig video, I cannot help but think that that thing is gonna be too small. Then the lass started showing the interior, and I instantly changed my mind. There's is a very clever and ergonomic use of space. I was impressed with that they have a stand alone shower AND toilet.
Would have liked to see the rig with the slide-out working and before/after pictures.
All in all though, that is by far one of the best thought out and executed off-road campers.
My two favourite parts:
1. That the gentleman built the exterior storage framing himself and that it is brilliant.
2. When he said he carries more tools than most. So he can help others. Bravo!
Scott Leech thank you for the kind words
Well we did work 60 hrs a week for 30 years but were able to retire early and now enjoy RVing (& travel) as much as we can. I'd really like to get more off road and what you two have done to your rig is amazing. Our next rig is going to be a 4X4, but not as big as we won't be having to live in it. Your blog is very well presented and informative. Best of luck!
One of the best RV 's I have seen it's like a small studio flat.
Well designed, incredible thought given to all the details. And the amount of storage is fantastic.
The diesel setup is fascinating. Seems like a nice option. Other tubers live in these super tiny rigs and yours is bigger and better. Thank You for sharing your lives with us!
Love the rig. I like how you took a tc and modified it to what you wanted. I'm not a fan of the camplight truck campers. I would have done a northernlight or a bigfoot, but that's just me. It would have been a little harder to modify the fiberglass campers for sure. Not sure i like getting rid if the propane completely. I like it for heat and cooking, but definatly a good choice on changing out to compressor fridge. I have been thinking of outfitting my truck camper to a flatbed. The boxes you made fit well and make the rig look propionate and practical. Storage always seems to be a problem in a rig you spend alot of time in. I wish I could live with less stuff. Do you know how much the rig weighs? I think weight is a big factor when it comes to alot of offroading situations like sand and mud.
Hey! We’re pretty heavy - 17k with fuel and water, fully loaded. If we want to be able to air down, we need to upgrade the tires as planned. We know other overland rigs around our weight running the bigger single tires and they are really able to go almost anywhere
@@DrivenToAdventures thanks for the reply. Most dont seem to know what they weigh. I'm around 10k, so I can use the load E tires that are easier to find. I now realize that I had watched some of your videos. I thought the composting toilet video was really good. Most dont recommend the air head. Im changing out mine to that same set up. The urine will go into my black tank. I also remeber your struggles with your 7.3. I hope that worked out. Those motors are getting harder to find. Good choices on the rig. I envy your lifestyle.... I think your missing a pet. Seems that's a requirement for full timing.?.?
dsgrayco pets are highly overrated IMO
dsgrayco hey! We finally got a ford reman installed and it’s doing great so far in Baja!
Driven To Adventures i miss Baja soooooooo much!
Very clever design. Always wondered what the inside of a vehicle like that would look like. I like the escape hatch idea, and kitchen window is really cute. I'm guessing the mattress is regular foam because memory foam is very heavy.
Wow! Great truck camper, I love what you two did with it!
Wow! I am impress! Beautiful reno..great tips & ideas.
Great build and setup! There is nothing that can compare to enjoying the fruits of your labor by living on something you built with your own hands, blood and sweat. Happy travels!
I just found my live aboard home awesome job
Awesome rig! Cool couple! Thanks for the tour.
Nice sightseeing pictures also! Are you sightseeing the chemtrails and geoengineering, because it's everywhere in the skies. See geoengineeringwatch, Dane Wigington, Mike Morales, and Jim Lee - Climate Viewer on UA-cam.
Love it... one of the best i have seen. Everything fits in... and everything you need is there.
Finally somebody takes a truck and mods it to make sense for them,great job love it.
Thanks for sharing and providing insight into your awesome rig! Would be very interested to hear & learn about a conversion from dually to super singles.
Fantastic video! Please do more! I am envious over how handy he is and the rig! Wow nice rig!
yes i agree propane is a no no for long rangers as it is not available everywhere.
Man thats alot of power. Could be pc gaming in there full time streaming. Where's the antenna!?! And 5g LTE hotspot?!
Cool rig, I love your voice! Such a pretty women. Greg is a lucky frenchy. The camper turnbuckles blocking some storage, do you have a plan to change to something different? I watched your build videos but didn’t see much on the inside. I’m glad you guys got it covered here, but should do one on your channel. Do you have footage of the Camper build/ mods? I would love to see some footage of that.
Amazing how much room there is in there. Love the pull out cooking storage.
That truck is so bad ass!!!
Really well-designed build, and great utilization of space.
I always watch these videos wondering if there's going to be a toilet and a shower.
You guys lack for nothing.
.. what a great video. Good people it seems! Great talent in building your rig! Much happiness to you both!
Cool Rig
Well done
I absolutely love this. So well thought out.
The extra outside storage is particularly good. Having a good, solid outside storage is a must if you are going out an about exploring, and doing it from a small space. You need to take your life outside more, so keeping useful storage outside for outdoors equipment is great for that.
Good idea on gutting out some of the inefficiently used spaces and repurposing them. A lot of small spaces are designed for, not sure how to put it, to be the most welcoming for the majority of people I guess? Not "too cramped" or "too sterile" or "too sharp" and other such things, but in doing so they tend to waste a lot of space in looking certain ways, or having so much space dedicated to X, which takes space away from Y, and so on. Curves are the biggest curse in small spaces. They might look nice, but in reality they take away a lot of useful space way too often.
A lot of people down-sizing are typically looking to make more use of space in every way possible. They can usually find better ways of making use of that space and doing it in an aesthetically pleasing way. It is a weird paradox lol
In my case, I would actually go one further in optimizing space use - I would put the toilet in the shower room, at least as long as the toilet itself can be made airtight with an external vent for airflow so no moisture gets in to it.
This not only gives you a massive amount of space in the current toilet room, it also gives you a nice comfy shower seat. Double win. Not for everyone though. Needs the proper toilet for it.
Speaking of spaces, the locking system is great. Great idea. Electromagnetic locks make a lot of sense where mechanical ones just seem impractical for things being accessed regularly. They take basically no power if you design them properly (being locked by gravity rather than active current).
That is a very nice set up! Looks like it’s a fun place to be on the road and travel trip. It’s one of best set ups I seen on UA-cam
Jesus is God & He loves you
Jesus is God and He will soon be seen by all men, women, and children up in the clouds. Jesus is returning now!

If you consider selling the truck please advertise it here
Wow, saving this. Nice. Just wondering, Can they really crawl through?
PositivelyNice we can!
Do you have to keep your cab window unlocked somehow?
I've watched few of your videos, and this is your rig before the ambulance I believe, yes?
Wondering how did it go in Mexico with this rig, is Mexico safe to travel through 2022? What would be some tips for someone traveling with a foreign plate and a rig perhaps ?
What is the camper make model?
Nice you guys picked each other well ;) that's 90% success 🙌
kind ginger and greg hello i am fiorenzo of venice-italy your 4x4 camper impressed me it is fantastic it is very spacious, in short the ideal for me and my wife who in the near future we would also like to travel the world in comfort and tranquility, how much does this motorhome wonder cost? thanks from fiorenzo and Iulia
You have built a Monsterpiece
One of the best overlander trucks ive ever seen
I would actually prefer that thing over an earthromer if i had the choice
donmrLenn wow thanks so much!
Its like a tardis. Bigger on the inside. Lots of nice touches. Quite like this build.
I'm shipping my Sprinter 3500 rig out from Galveston, Texas to Cartagena, Colombia around March 2020 for a 2 year trip into South America. I like your rig; well done.
Could easily increase solar production with some 315 w panels with similar dimensions. Could literally have everything inside electric powered. It would also be cool to get a fully electric truck camper that is 100% solar powered
Very nice truck camper
you know they got completely ripped off when buying in canada lol, bet they paid 100k+ would have been half that in the states. i absolutely hate when i hear someone bought something for much higher then they had to..
Brilliant, well thought out rig. Appreciate your sharing.
You can never have to much storage and it looks like you have optimized that .
Epoxy grout can also be used in situation where there is a lot of vibration.
Unbelievable how much space it has inside !!! That slider does all the magic. The only place where i d say it s some lost space is the toile5 an shower separate although it ads more comfort. I would have went with a wet bath and toilet
This set up is "EXACTLY" how I've wanted my personal camper rig to be and have differed a camper due to obvious downsides of existing rigs. You guys could easily start a business model building these models for overlanders as I see an untapped segment in current models offered. A genius design and build!
Where did you find the Electric Locks?
Cool rig up for sure. Our son is a missionary in Santa Ana, Elsalvador Best of luck in your travels have fun
Hello snack and icecream people😁
Greg is a pretty handy guy!
Very nice rig
Really good smart build!
No idiotic wet bath! 👏😁👍
Great video , Have fun guys Love your rig
I thought custom meant they built the camper but they didn't. They only modified it.
Very cool 👍enjoy And be safe
Uhhhh, Greg is outstanding! What exactly does he do for a living?
Great advice and video 👏😎
Can you actually crawl thru the pass thru window? by the way I like what you did with your rig.
This kind of thing is perfect....if you don't have children....
Cańt wait to watch their Ambulance build & walkthrough!
Love what you have built. Very innovative & comfy Great ideas.
Nice camper! Where did you find the cabinet locks?
very fire savvy, really good,. Not a lot of people talk about that in their tiny homes.
SAFE,SAFE, SAFE TRAVELS !
I like the Lance & Fox, but I’m sure it’s twice the price.
This is simply beautiful and charming if I ever wanted one is contact you 2
Cool
What brand is the truck camper?
The biggest (pun) factor in being able to live full-time in a camper or small trailer is is not the size of the rig; rather it's the size of the people habitating therein. It can be nearly a perfect situation for some people (those under 6' and not heavy of build). For larger persons it's sort of like wearing shoes that are slightly too small (you can stand it for a little while). For people well above average size it can be an ordeal. For the truly huge, it's not even doable except in an emergency (certainly not for two 6' 6"+ and heavily built individuals). But they're FANTASTIC for a couple of quite small and slim people.
Cause we are ice cream people
Respect
Aw gorgeous fantastic layout good luck on your travels x
So much useful details. 👍👍Thank you
So many of you buy these "rigs" to go off road an drive on dirt trails. My Semi does that and I didn't sink nearly 100k into it. P.S; I can still use it effectively. I hate to see what this camper does in 40+mph winds or storms. F-550's have to ride like a tank and you might as well have gone to a Class 4 vehicle. Enjoy the repairs to come, there's a reason so many are for sale.
nice, a huge change yeh.glad to see you both happy and free spirits
Maintenance truck and Earthroamer had a baby. Nice mix.
👍👍👍👌☺️
Great video, nice couple!
