    ACROSS THE WORLD:
    In the Spring of 2020 Drive The Globe began what is the most epic endeavor in our 25 year history. Our 41 year old Mercedes Unimog & custom overland expedition trailer rolled out of home base one last time. Our planned 220,000 mile expedition around the world will visit 7 continents, numerous countries, cultures & experience many planned & probably unplanned adventures.
    This epic road trip is broadcast to all of you through a weekly, largely unscripted & raw epic overland adventure series on our UA-cam channel.

      Agreed! I think too many end up staying too military like and fall short on the home & comfort side. Thanks for watching.

    That is such a smart design. I have noticed a theme with these van life/over lands people..cleverness and resourcefulness seems go be universal for people involved in that lifestyle

    What a well thought out rig. Thanks for sharing these types of tours. I see many people making the jump from vanlife to tiny homes or these big Expedition type rigs.
    I think you my friend, have sparked a globe trotting trend.🤙👍💪🌞🏆🚛🚚

    Now that is impressive!!!! So much going in in such a small space! And just think of all the neat stuff they could have incorporated had they extended the back bedding area like you did Michael. I think I saw it last Winter when we went skiing. But didn't get a chance to look at it close.
    Yours is still neat Michael, but I'm impressed with the dining room they have.

    • @drivetheglobe
      @drivetheglobe  Рік тому +1

      Yes. I do like how they built it up over the water tank. Pretty cool. Their toy garage is also a great idea.

    This is amazing! I am familiar with this truck as I was active duty Army during the Iraq war. I drove one of these trucks from Kuwait to every corner (almost) of Iraq during a year long deployment from 2003-2004. These trucks are study, reliable and heavy duty machines that can take a beating on every terrain.
    Do you have any plans to make these and sell them or was this a one time build! I love your videos. Keep up the great work and adventures!!!

    • @drivetheglobe

      Thank you for the wonderful support. I love the trucks too. Right now I’m staying retired, but we will see.
