This is a very enjoyable video. It's nice to see you guys so happy having realized your dream as a result of hard work and tremendous skill. The first shots of you in the kitchen looked like you were in a beautiful home, not a camper. Congratulations! Your channel is very inspirational. It's becoming one of my favorite channels. I'm looking forward to following your adventures for a long time. BTW, the production level of your videos is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Richard! It is surreal to finally be on the adventure we had spent so much time planning. We weren’t originally planning to vlog our trip but you have all expressed interest and we are having a blast sharing our experiences!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
Its so awesome you can go skiing and leave your dogs in a protected, temperature controlled mini home while you enjoy the slopes or whatever (skiing, biking, out to restos) so nice.
maybe I was a little bit overhasty with my comment on your skiing skills oin your last skiing video. comme to switzerland and lets go skiing. check out my favorite run: le mur des suisses
Season 1 episode 1. I guess the build series is basically complete. The camper looks amazing. Looking forward to a build/cost sheet. My over/under guesstimate on parts + vehicle is $50k. If you value your time (labor + design + research), I think the over under is closer to $90k. So a relative bargain compared to what’s out there.
There will be a few more build episodes but we are officially on the road! We plan to make some modifications, especially to the truck while on our trip. We will be doing a cost breakdown video very soon!
Holy crap you guys live just down the road from us , i knew you guys looked familiar , glad too see we have like minded people so close to us , my wife and myself are getting ready to start a similar build so we have been following and will continue to do so , you guys rock
Wow that is one crap load of snow. You got a ton more than we have here in Southern Ontario Canada. And cold too. You guys staying warm in the rig? It looked like the dogs were having a blast, so fun to see. Stay safe guys.❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
You could glass bead the shower door. ..........even do a taped off design in it!..........I was out your way 2 yr. ago. We went to Yosemite Valley then down to the big trees, after that we headed over to Lake Havasu City. I wanted to take 120 to 395 but didn't see a way to the trees. That was a 10,000 mile road trip, a little over 30 days. Maybe we will get back that way someday. It looks like your truck is working out for you! Do you think that the 1"foam is enough insulation or do you think you should have more?
That is a really good idea! Funny enough that may be one of the only tools we don't currently own... 😂 We are honestly too warm in the camper with the diesel heater so right now we are very happy with the 1" foam. Come summertime we plan to install a mini split a/c unit and will report back on how we feel about the r-value!
Amazing job on your build. It’s been a pleasure watching your progress over these past months. Very random, but what sink did you use in your camper? Currently renovating my pop up camper and that sink looks perfect for it! Thanks guys
Wow guys, that is an awesome rig. So jelly. I have a couple of questions for you, are there any plans to add an AC? How bout a lift kit and off road tires. How bout a winch for the front?
Thanks for documenting the build. Great inspiration for all builders. My kids just asked me if they could “watch the next episode?” Not an easy concept for today’s kids to understand that we have to wait for the next episode. Excellent editing by the way! Keep the episodes coming.
Thank you so much Brian! It makes our day to hear you are watching the series with your family. We're headed out to attempt some snow biking this morning, so I'm sure that will make for some good content! 😂
The dog bed in the cab looks like it worked out really well. I have a platform over the rear seats in my Colorado with the extended cab. I have been considering removing the rear seats.
Some snow and adventure was just what our souls needed. The build took so much of our time it was nice to be reminded of why we started it in the first place!
-6 degrees! Brrrrr! That sends shivers right through me and we are in the middle of winter here in New York. We used to get snow storms like that when I was a kid but not too much anymore. Have fun kids! Safe travels!
We had no idea how cold it was until the dogs refused to go outside! 😂 It was a fun novelty but I'm sure when you live in it you have a different mindset!
Wow that is some serious snow!!! How well did the camper insulation hold up in -6 degree weather? Was the diesel heater large enough to keep up? Awesome video! So glad to see yall finally on Adventures!!
Hi Caleb! To control moisture inside we had our rooftop vent above the bed blowing hot air out constantly. This caused the snow on the roof to melt and form icicles!
I love your build. You all should do a collab with Andrew Muse and the MuseRoamer. Walkthrough of each other's rig! Fundamentally similar but the execution was extremely different. Glad to see you all finally reaping the months of endless labor.
Yes! One of the best parts of our trip thus far has been meeting other people and checking out their expedition rigs! In Mammoth we met an awesome couple and had a chance to do a walkthrough of their Kimbo. That video will be coming very soon.
What an awesome adventure....all the snow is just a good test to flesh out any issues, like the pipes in the bike box. So glad you are sharing these with us. Thanks, 😎
Yes it was an excellent test and we were amazed at how comfortable we were the entire time! If we hadn't had little things to tinker on I think we would have gone stir crazy!
Good to see you on the move. The camper is fantastic , as in your barndominium you have done a great job. I drive a 30 foot motohome in the UK , one human and three siamese cats need that size ! I just wish it's builders had used your attention to detail, Happy camping
Yes you finally finished and made it out, you guys look so happy with the snow,, Here north of Chicago we had about 9" of wet snow, even the snowblower couldn't lift it. Im sick of snow... here is my closest boondocking spot to Deer Park 40.483017, -111.036273 ... I have one cabinet job left to finish in my shop and Im headed southwest somewhere in about 4 weeks....
If you need a driveway in SLC hit me up. We can watch the dogs if they are okay around other dogs u should check out Alta/Bird I'd recommend on a weekday
Have fun! We really like SBoat. Utah is magical >100'' base so if we get there this season come back ski the cottonwoods :) standing offer... if not head north after CO.... Big sky and jackson are doing better on snow...Bridger Bowl is cool with cheaper day passes($63)...or go to cook city and rent snowmobiles
Loving this series ! Not only because of the build but I love your dynamic as a couple. The love is there and it just makes this even cozier to watch !
Great job guys on the entire build.... nice to see you using it to it’s full potential..... and even the dogs 🐕 look happy..... hope you guys enjoy and make many memories. 👍👌😊👀❄️⛄️🐕🥶
Great job! Really enjoyed watching your videos. Have fun and enjoy your camper. I hope you have lots of wonderful adventure. One thought, if you are planning to do a lot of boon-docking you might want to consider a set of all terrain tires.
Love the series, truck looks amazing. Awesome quality of work. Are yall planing any suspension / wheel or tire upgrades in the future?!? Keep the great content rolling.
@@AmbitionStrikes Im no expert but, I too have a substantial noggin and have had good luck with Smith goggle/helmet combos. Specifically the MagXl goggles and Vantage helmet. P.s. keep the top-notch content comin!
From the Great Lakes? You'll adjust to Maine and the snow they said. Our first 26" snow storm is unlike anything we experienced in what's called "Lake-Effect".
107”?!? Wow! The powder looked awesome! Side note: Sure the dogs are going to sleep in the cab. Yeah right, we call those temps a two dog night. Last one in bed gets the wall! 😁🥶 Been there, done that! -13f in a four wheel camper in Tetons last winter was the first time my German Shepard ever went UNDER the covers. Our Saint Bernards used to Love the snow.
The truck cab is their summer home, because they are definitely staying in the camper for this cold weather! Our black dog is a German Shepherd mix and she LOVES to crawl under the covers 😂
Our dogs LOVE the truck and camper so they hang out with the windows cracked while we are away. Boone enjoys sitting on the bench and watching the world out the big window and Bailey enjoys bunkering down on the bed.
Great weather. Looks like the truck & build are working well. There just isn't anything quite like the crunch of new snow. And the hush that falls over everything. Thank you!
you are becoming my number one UA-cam channel. You knock this one out of the park. You two have some awesome video skills. The lighting at 10:35 was unreal. Where you were parking your truck is that a friends home?
I just love this truck camper build series. Why is it the truck camper manufacturers can't come up with such a smart design? How about pitching your design to one of them? Scoutcampers offers some lightweight campers using a similar construction technique but yours is so much better.
Thanks for hanging around the channel Doug! Mammoth is incredibly beautiful and we feel like we have only barely scratched the surface in exploring it!
Hi, you should use a broom instead of a shovel to remove the snow, that way it won't scratch the paint. Trust me where I live, that is what we use. If we wouldn't, our car paint wouldn't last a year. Have fun and be safe. 🤙
Deer Valley is a very nice resort, skied there a few times. if you need a place to stay while in Utah, I live in Ogden and your more than welcome to stay, i have plenty of space (1 acre lot) that is fenced in for dogs and large driveway at my home and power. Great video,.

Was that the first time your dogs saw that deep of snow? I remember when I was a kid we had a beagle mix. We had road construction going on our street. We got a big storm and the hole out in front of our house for the sewers was full of water. My brother and I were on one side our dog was on the other. Our dog decided that she was going jump and run over to us. I think it was a big surprise that that puddle was a lot deeper than she thought. Once she came to the surface and got out of the water she really never like the water again. Plus for a few days she would not leave my side.
Yes, they had never experienced anything like that! Deep and fluffy! Our black dog is part beagle and also remembers traumatizing experiences quite well...
@@d-arts7139 The rails are structural, offer protection for the vents and will be for mounting the solar panels. Turns out they also kept Riley from falling off while clearing snow from the roof!
@@AmbitionStrikes oh i remember now about the structural integrety. i know youll want to take it as many places as you can... without destroying it. youve seen limb wires?
OMG!!! Haven't watched yet, but we saw the forecast for Mammoth last Monday night and tried really hard to figure out how we could get out of here Tuesday morning & get into Mammoth before it started... but lodging in Mammoth is just so bloody expensive this time of year. Soooooo jealous that you two were there for it. Forecast was 6.5 feet, but reality was 8-9 feet. Must have been so exciting!!!!
@@JohnHMoore We were fortunate enough to have a friends driveway to park in that was plowed almost every hour! The rest of the town was completely buried!
wow what a truck its fantastic i looks as good as an earth roamer for a hell of a lot less and you built it . has inspired me to do the same when we relocate from uk to turkey
So jealous! Enjoy PC! Trying so hard to get out there. I visit the area regularly as I have friends there. Looking forward to the next video. Until I can get out there, I am making do with PA Pocono skiing.
I noticed in your build video you guys used R5 foam board, I'm just wondering if you were plenty warm during the blizzard? I'm getting ready to build a very similar rig up here in Canada so I'm just wondering if 5 is going to be enough! Thank you for all your informative videos, I love watching you two.
Yes even at temps as low as -12F we were plenty warm. In fact we always leave our roof vent open, fan on low and a window slightly cracked to get good air flow and keep humidity down. The diesel heater is still on its lowest setting. While it's only R5 having it be continuous with no thermal bridging is the key.
This is a very enjoyable video. It's nice to see you guys so happy having realized your dream as a result of hard work and tremendous skill. The first shots of you in the kitchen looked like you were in a beautiful home, not a camper. Congratulations! Your channel is very inspirational. It's becoming one of my favorite channels. I'm looking forward to following your adventures for a long time. BTW, the production level of your videos is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Richard! It is surreal to finally be on the adventure we had spent so much time planning. We weren’t originally planning to vlog our trip but you have all expressed interest and we are having a blast sharing our experiences!

I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Kyrie Gary instablaster :)
Its so awesome you can go skiing and leave your dogs in a protected, temperature controlled mini home while you enjoy the slopes or whatever (skiing, biking, out to restos) so nice.
Yes!! They get to come along for every adventure now. 😊
I was jealously watching the snow pounding CA while we got nothing in MT. Glad ya got into it.
Maybe we'll head that way soon and bring it with us!
Aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa
maybe I was a little bit overhasty with my comment on your skiing skills oin your last skiing video. comme to switzerland and lets go skiing. check out my favorite run: le mur des suisses
We would love to come to Switzerland someday!

You built a very nice car !!! Where does so much snow fall ??Gyulay Pál HUNGARY / Pécs city
It was a very rare storm for Mammoth!
nice footing! i saw that you left your stair out in the parking lot. Out of experience i recommend to put it in or one idiot will run it over
Holy crap you guys live just down the road from us , i knew you guys looked familiar , glad too see we have like minded people so close to us , my wife and myself are getting ready to start a similar build so we have been following and will continue to do so , you guys rock
No way! You guys live in Paso Robles?
Waiting ............ ........Maybe I should do 8 hours of work while waiting
We’re going to sleep! 😂
That was a fun Video.
Nowwww I’m jealous. Haha.
Good job guys for making it happen.
Enjoy the winter fun. Next winter for me.
You rock.
Thanks for watching! The dogs are officially powder snobs and we are hooked!!
🤣🤣🤣
Love the dogs.
They are adding a lot to your stories.
Beautiful.
Wow that is one crap load of snow. You got a ton more than we have here in Southern Ontario Canada. And cold too. You guys staying warm in the rig? It looked like the dogs were having a blast, so fun to see. Stay safe guys.❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
SO much snow. We stayed toasty warm the entire time and kept forgetting how cold it was outside 😂

Deer Valley is great! You guys need to hit up Alta while you're in Utah, I was there almost every weekend growing up!
We were planning to but the no dogs laws scared us away!
I have plenty of snow here....can you share some warm temps next? ;) You guys are living the dream.....congrats !!
-7 is warm!? 😂
Wow guys, that is an awesome rig. So jelly. I have a couple of questions for you, are there any plans to add an AC? How bout a lift kit and off road tires. How bout a winch for the front?
The the truck modifications will be coming very soon! And yes we plan to add a/c this summer!
Awesome team spirit and family example!
Do you know approx. cost of all the parts for the camper ? Is it over 20 K ?
Thanks!
Thank you so much! We are going to do a cost breakdown video very soon!

The dog bed has been an amazing addition!
What is the final weight of the vehicle? Did you use up the initial 3500 lbs headroom?
We haven’t gotten a final weight yet but it is on our to do list!
So cool guys, my wife and I miss the snow the mountains and the Journey, locked down in the UK 🙁
Some snow and adventure was just what our souls needed. The build took so much of our time it was nice to be reminded of why we started it in the first place!
Brighton definitely better. The tram at snowbird has incredible views and runs also. So many resorts so close
We’ve got the dogs so we are a bit limited with where we can go in Utah!
Amazing snowfall. Love blizzards.
It was incredible!
Good job you guys got more snow down there down there than I do up here in Canada you guys can have it as far as I'm concerned good job though. 👍👍😀❄🇨🇦
It was definitely too much snow to be able to function in! 😂
Awesome! I love skiing also, but my adventure truck camper won't ever be in snow like that lol I didn't really put heat in mine
Heat is a must for weather that cold!
-6F is -21C and 107" of snow is 2.7 meters. Extreme! Good job building an RV that can cope. We had 2" in London and now it's all gone.
Thank you! It was a very pleasant surprise at how comfortable we were during the storm.
I watched this well put together video... loved it.... subscribed ... ty
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support of the channel.

SO worth it! We are so stoked to put this thing to the test!

It did amazing in the cold! We never had to crank the heater, it easily kept up!
Does icicles forming on the front of the camper like that mean you have a heat leak on the roof somewhere?
Hi Caleb! To control moisture inside we had our rooftop vent above the bed blowing hot air out constantly. This caused the snow on the roof to melt and form icicles!

Thanks for following along on this adventure with us!
I just watch every episode of your build and first ski trip, my compliments on a job well done

Cher Got to Be gratifying Looking back at that camper you built by yourself Wow
It still feels a bit surreal!
So cool! The dogs jumping in the snow cracked me up.
They are now powder snobs 😂
@@AmbitionStrikes that’s hilarious 🤣
Wow talk about a shakeout test!! My "professionally" built camper with insulation underneath had more issues in less extreme weather. 😂
I'm sure we have some more gremlins to work out along the way, but we're ready!
Good to see you on the move. The camper is fantastic , as in your barndominium you have done a great job. I drive a 30 foot motohome in the UK , one human and three siamese cats need that size ! I just wish it's builders had used your attention to detail, Happy camping
Yes you finally finished and made it out, you guys look so happy with the snow,, Here north of Chicago we had about 9" of wet snow, even the snowblower couldn't lift it. Im sick of snow... here is my closest boondocking spot to Deer Park 40.483017, -111.036273 ... I have one cabinet job left to finish in my shop and Im headed southwest somewhere in about 4 weeks....

It did better than we ever could have hoped for. We are so excited to put it to the test!
Serious question, where are your dogs while you’re out doing activities that don’t include them? Doggy daycare? In the camper? Truck?
Our dogs LOVE the truck and camper so they hang out with the windows cracked while we are away. Boone enjoys sitting on the bench and watching the world out the big window and Bailey enjoys bunkering down on the bed.
Can’t wait to see these and follow your adventures-my hubby talked to you in the Fraser Safeway parking lot, your setup is bad ass!! Enjoy!!

Thanks you Russ! The Scout campers are very unique, light and functional. We are looking forward to hopefully being able to check one out on our trip.
New snow in the Sierra is fantastic, once passages are cleared.
It was amazing!!

How do you know were to camp? How do you find those spots?
thanks!
There are several Facebook groups for winter travel, specifically snow skiing that we used!
Tour please
Coming soon!
Definitely need a full camper tour!
Coming soon!
Very nice, I love your dogs. Your camper is awesome!!!
They are so happy about this full time road trip thing!
Just love this series . Big fan in ireland.
Thank you Declan!
So much snow. WoW ToP! Camper seams to srve wery well. 👍🍷
We are very happy with how it did in that weather, it was insane!
Come on. you can do it
I like your attitude!
snow, snow and more snow! sweet!
SO much snow!
@@AmbitionStrikes are the rails on top for protection? Considered guide wires on the front?
@@d-arts7139 The rails are structural, offer protection for the vents and will be for mounting the solar panels. Turns out they also kept Riley from falling off while clearing snow from the roof!
@@AmbitionStrikes oh i remember now about the structural integrety. i know youll want to take it as many places as you can... without destroying it. youve seen limb wires?
Nice looking camper. You guys did a nice job.
Thanks Mark!
Great build. Did you guys drive over a scale and get a total weight yet?
Not yet, but it is very high on our to do list!
OMG!!! Haven't watched yet, but we saw the forecast for Mammoth last Monday night and tried really hard to figure out how we could get out of here Tuesday morning & get into Mammoth before it started... but lodging in Mammoth is just so bloody expensive this time of year. Soooooo jealous that you two were there for it. Forecast was 6.5 feet, but reality was 8-9 feet. Must have been so exciting!!!!
It was insane!! 😳 We were fortunate enough to have a friend let us bunker down in their driveway for the storm!
Looked like a lot of fun... though the snow didn’t look 9 feet deep. Loved the shots of the dogs disappearing into the snow! Have fun in Utah!
@@JohnHMoore We were fortunate enough to have a friends driveway to park in that was plowed almost every hour! The rest of the town was completely buried!
wow what a truck its fantastic i looks as good as an earth roamer for a hell of a lot less and you built it . has inspired me to do the same when we relocate from uk to turkey
Thank you so much Mike! Good luck on our build and send us pictures please!
it will be great if you can put a sky view up top on your bed area.. ^_^
Thank would be awesome!
did reily kiss you at 3:48.......thats enough of that!
😂
If you want to ski Taos hit us up. We'll show put you up and show you the good trails.
Thank you much, I will definitely let you know if we make it that way!
Binged whole series. Best homebuild I have seen. :)
Thank you so much! We are SO stoked to finally be putting this thing to the test!
Amazing camper very much a dream build.
Sounds like it's time to start building your camper!
So jealous! Enjoy PC! Trying so hard to get out there. I visit the area regularly as I have friends there. Looking forward to the next video. Until I can get out there, I am making do with PA Pocono skiing.
We're skiing Deer Valley today and it is a blast!!
@@AmbitionStrikes Stop messaging me and enjoy! Lol. I've only skied PC and Canyons. I've hiked and mountain biked Deer Valley. You two enjoy yourself.
I noticed in your build video you guys used R5 foam board, I'm just wondering if you were plenty warm during the blizzard? I'm getting ready to build a very similar rig up here in Canada so I'm just wondering if 5 is going to be enough! Thank you for all your informative videos, I love watching you two.
Yes even at temps as low as -12F we were plenty warm. In fact we always leave our roof vent open, fan on low and a window slightly cracked to get good air flow and keep humidity down. The diesel heater is still on its lowest setting. While it's only R5 having it be continuous with no thermal bridging is the key.
@@AmbitionStrikes I really appreciate your reply, thank you very much!
9:40 dude you have to fix your helmet gap... lol 😂
The goggle fog is no joke with masks on all day!
