This is by far the best motor home I have ever seen. It is very well thought out, practical, efficient, everything is in the right place and it looks wonderful. Congratulations to the designer!
Firstly, this was the first time in ages that I've enjoyed the exterior chat about what and where everything goes, as well as listening to where things are and how the work in the interio. Sorry to say so people talk about the input and output of this and that too much, and I find that boring. This was very refreshing and thought how great it is that this couple are getting the very best out of life. 🎉❤🎉❤ Thank you for sharing your home with us all. X
Build the German way: well-thought-out, well-built, neat and clean, and super functional. Just the way I like it. Love all your videos, Jenna. Keep up the good work!
Two things I really appreciate about their design is the easy access to the plumbing via the removable floor panels, and the double spare tires with crane. It's so well thought out that their only complaint is the stand-up fridge having problems with loose items rattling inside. I wonder if it can be easily retrofitted with a drawer / basket system to hold food items better during bumpy travel.
We actually thought about retrofitting a drawer fridge, but unfortunately all interesting brands we came across didn‘t fit width-wise, so it would become a greater remodeling of the whole entrance area. That’s why we ended up sticking with the fridge as is.
@@oliverschindelhauer4444 Put everything into the plastic containers you buy "tub of ice" in, we do it at home because it makes organising and keeping clean much easier. If you hate icecream good sorted DIY stores usual have boxes in all sizes, not sure how well they stand the cold though
That's an awesome overland, but, omg. The size is smaller than my kitchen and that's their entire living space! It's amazing how much they fit in that space!
You guys are so good together! I would think to live this lifestyle you would have to get along super duper well! Love your home…beautiful..carefully made to meet your needs…Love the bathroom…so smart. I would like to think I’m a minimalist..my husband on the other hand..aaaah not so much . Fun that you can go off-road. My husband and I got Honda trail 125 scooters that are on and off road. Well good luck to you and enjoy your life🌱🌷🌎☀️💙
This is extremely well laid out. It looks open, comfortable, and practical. I'm intrigued by these overland vehicles. It would be nice to know more about what kind of terrain they can handle.
I like that he talked about a separate key for the home part and a key for the truck. I often wonder about security for a lot of these small homes on the road.
I am not gonna lie, this is one of the best rigs I have ever seen. The truck is just the right size and the interior design is just amazing. Just like Harriet, I also like to cook so I'm definitely going to borrow some of their ideas if I can finally have my own in the future.
This is a great rig. Mitsubishi Fuso trucks are such a reliable unit. You see a lot of people in Australia who have these for travelling and camping. In the 4x4 version they can go just about anywhere. And you having done only 140,000km it's just about run inn.
This is an amazing build. They thought of everything. I’m glad they never had any temperature and humidity issues with the structure. They definitely got their money’s worth.
I love mostly that you can go almost anywhere with this rig - and with a recirculating shower you could extend offgrid/boondock stays for many more weeks!
Jenna you are absolutely beautiful. You bring us all such unique and stunning builds and I just want to thank you and everyone else that works on this channel ❤👏🏼
Love the home. For me i would have found a way to have that hanging clothing closet be for laundry. At least on the bottom. I hear theres washers that are also dryers. So that makes you able to still hang clothing on top. Save a alot of money and time as well. So one machine 2 functions. The fridge would be a fantastic change. If you do another build check out yachts. The combo of the two would be great. However this is a very thought out build. Maybe try a series of bungie cords on each shelf of the fridge to help with food fallout. Also i hope your carrying some serious sort of protection if need be. I see the cab can be used as a sort of safe room. I hope from both sides? If you ever want another travel companion i am working on saving for my own build and would love to live in one or some to work out what i think would work for me. Wish there was a way to make a bus like this able to sail as well. God that would be perfection.
Awesome design. I grew up on a Winnebago 60's Brave in my kid summers.. Your setup is fluid from front to back. I'm pondering my build. You have so motivated me so much. I love what you have done. Thank you!!
I can identify with the spice drawer...lol... I love to cook as well. I know you want a drawer fridge, but you will loose space that way and if you're cooking a lot, that could put a crimp in your menu plans. I like the size of the bathroom. I hate being cramped in a bathroom. There are so many things to like about this rig, it is very well planned out. The one thing that really surprised me was the mileage! 14 miles to the gallon, that's phenomenal Best wished and safe travels.
Those are Brompton Bikes, made in the UK ! Fit in your car, you can take them on the bus or train and not having to pay for them separately! Best of all, they take very little space in the motor home.
Excellent film, Jenna. This is the best one yet. Very nice rig. Very nice people. Ollie has a good sense of humour: millennial anti-theft device had me chuckling.
We met Oliver and Harriet at Overland Expo last month. They are building out campers in Colorado using the same German builder for the house. World Traveler Vehicles.
Jenna, I have been following you for such a looong time, I really really like your channel, all the little details you put into it, and how much it’s growing! 🥰 Much love ❤️✨
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers* I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others UA-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their UA-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.

Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.

Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Keep a First Aid kit with Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration. Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* *WINTER AWARENESS* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines. *Your Safety is Important* *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. *WINTER AWARENESS* In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe, your will have it if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.

Very nice. These overlanders look like so much fun! I did the monster truck thing in the 80's. 😂 It was a blast. Surprised I survived those years. 😂 Happy Retirement to these 2. Now they can have fun year round. Happy and safe trails.
A beautifully designed space like a magical house on a cloud with very pleasant daylight from all sides,it is different from the American one, but the European one reminds me of my own home.I wish you nice moments ~ Greetings from Macedonia~
It's a nicely short vehicle as the front passenger seating area is placed on top of the engine. Plus there's no back passenger seat area either. So those two spaces make fir a longer cabin w/out increasing vehicle length.. 👍
Hi❤ from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur fan's watching enjoy your day and activities.. .first time follow your UA-cam channel my friend 😅 i like your truck 🚛 my friend 😅so good
This rig ticks all my check boxes. Bravo! And I agree… an Africa trip will leave an imprint on you. Great zebra look 👍🏻. I’m ready when it coms up for sale … !! Take my money 🤑
Hallo Harriet & Olli, wir haben aus aktuellem Anlass erst jetzt Euer Video zum Fuso entdeckt und wir haben uns schon ganz schön in Euer Fahrzeug verguckt... Wir stehen mitten im Umzug in ein Tiny-House und planen, ab 2025/26 auf Reisen zu gehen. Für den Fall, dass Ihr Euren Fuso doch mal verkaufen wollt, meldet Euch bitte unbedingt bei uns. Liebe Grüße und weiterhin noch tolles Reisen😊 Sabine & Hartmut
Great vehicle! I don't think your bathroom is wasted space. It's nice to have room to shower comfortably w/o banging into walls & fixtures. And it is the pass-through. Get it too small & that would be a struggle also. I have never seen those things under the mattress...great idea! Nice to know that Europe still has stick shift vehicles. I love stick shift & they're practically non-existent here in the U.S. 😢
Nice. I don't normally like European builds because I think they look pretty sterile and plain like IKEA but this has some wood and a little personality added.
The low profile steps, the double folding outdoor kitchen worktop, non-pass pass-through, full kitchen, accessible floor storage, aerated mattress, complete bathroom, storage, storage, storage: this rig is incredible!
😊
don't like the fridge next to the toilet,
Yesss! Everything you mentioned was unbelievable. A few things really stood out from most rigs you see. Which makes it so unique.
@@michaelbates2575 Everywhere is next to the toilet in a space that small. My bedroom is down the hall...and it's 'next' to the bathroom sometimes.
This is by far the best motor home I have ever seen. It is very well thought out, practical, efficient, everything is in the right place and it looks wonderful. Congratulations to the designer!
For anyone curious, the under bed mattress ventilation system is called "Froli systems by nickle Atlantic, LLC"
Thanks for that!!
Appreciate he share.

Firstly, this was the first time in ages that I've enjoyed the exterior chat about what and where everything goes, as well as listening to where things are and how the work in the interio.
Sorry to say so people talk about the input and output of this and that too much, and I find that boring.
This was very refreshing and thought how great it is that this couple are getting the very best out of life. 🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you for sharing your home with us all. X
Build the German way: well-thought-out, well-built, neat and clean, and super functional. Just the way I like it. Love all your videos, Jenna. Keep up the good work!
Two things I really appreciate about their design is the easy access to the plumbing via the removable floor panels, and the double spare tires with crane. It's so well thought out that their only complaint is the stand-up fridge having problems with loose items rattling inside. I wonder if it can be easily retrofitted with a drawer / basket system to hold food items better during bumpy travel.
We actually thought about retrofitting a drawer fridge, but unfortunately all interesting brands we came across didn‘t fit width-wise, so it would become a greater remodeling of the whole entrance area. That’s why we ended up sticking with the fridge as is.
@@oliverschindelhauer4444 Put everything into the plastic containers you buy "tub of ice" in, we do it at home because it makes organising and keeping clean much easier.

Wow that was amazing so compact…everything you need… love it…❤
What an amazing build! It’s wonderful and looks very comfortable.

Its a win when someone prioritise toilet/bathroom space. It is a must for me.

Your tiny. Home. So beautiful. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is an amazing build. They thought of everything. I’m glad they never had any temperature and humidity issues with the structure. They definitely got their money’s worth.
I love mostly that you can go almost anywhere with this rig - and with a recirculating shower you could extend offgrid/boondock stays for many more weeks!
My x boyfriend and I converted a passenger van into a camper van. Traveled the USA 2x. Loved it!
Love the outside design with the zebra print! ❤
Lovely build/design inside and outside💞💞...
"Millennial Theft Protection Device" 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Best one among the designs I ever saw. Most importantly there is no compromise on ceiling height for bed and the area for the toilet+bathroom
💖💝💖The best overlander I have seen to date! ❇❇❇
Most excellent build. I've picked up a lot of tips. Highly intelligent focused people. Definite save for later referencing. Thank you.
WOW! This Overlander is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
God Bless

Guten Tag Harriet and Olly, I really enjoyed your video. Very informative and you have a fantastic truck. Happy travels, Take care, Ian
Oh my gosh good for you. You are living my dream. The Overlander has always been my dream RV
Ugh... this sort of set-up is my dream. Perfection. 😊
Your RV is just the right size for traveling and getting to the hard to access areas, i'm jealous.Happy trails.
Very posh and well constructed: I should get that for myself.
That's a wonderful dream-home on wheels...Fabulous...Beste Harriet and Olly...💃💃💃
🇬🇧 Very well thought out design. It serves this couple perfectly. 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome design. I grew up on a Winnebago 60's Brave in my kid summers.. Your setup is fluid from front to back. I'm pondering my build. You have so motivated me so much. I love what you have done. Thank you!!
Well designed. Interior doesn't appear claustrophobic. Lots of storage, pleasant decor and well equiped for cooking.
Awesome use of space! So inspirational! I just converted my garage into a tiny house and made a video to pass along some inspiration also!
‘Ollie is quite tall, he’s 6ft6.’. No my 6ft2 husband is quite tall. Ollie is VERY tall indeed. Great truck. Practical, stylish, clean & organised.
I love tiny. Home. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hallo Harriet & Olli - schön von euch zu hören, wieder Mal. Liebe Grüsse in die Baja oder wo immer ihr seid! C. aka Birdie
Love y'alls tiny home. My daughter would love those pillows.
Another well thought out rig. It is wonderful to see people enjoying life this way.

Well thought out. Enjoy!
Have fun guy's. Look's like a nice alternative to home living.
Great interior design very space is used up . The interior is nice and bright
Such a neat vehicle to travel in.
2:34 the subtitles say „in this wreck we‘re now travelling for about seven years“ 😂
German build. Say no more. Just superb. Excellent job. Enjoy ❤️
I love those Bikes!
& This couple works out together.
Really nice build of a rig...2 thtumbs up!!
Those are Brompton Bikes, made in the UK !
Fit in your car, you can take them on the bus or train and not having to pay for them separately!
Best of all, they take very little space in the motor home.
Excellent film, Jenna. This is the best one yet.
Very nice rig. Very nice people. Ollie has a good sense of humour: millennial anti-theft device had me chuckling.
Millennial theft protection device - hilarious and so so true.
Nice! I think that it is nice and clean. Lite white! I could handle, living in it! 😊
I love this RIG.

Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe, your will have it if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc.
Please Be Safe.....
God Be With You.....

Great size bathroom that has a sink too - love it.
You have an amazing set up, Thank You for Sharing
Very nice.
These overlanders look like so much fun!
I did the monster truck thing in the 80's. 😂
It was a blast.
Surprised I survived those years. 😂
Happy Retirement to these 2.
Now they can have fun year round.
Happy and safe trails.
Not complete retired yet, we‘re kind of in between jobs with and extended break.
A beautifully designed space like a magical house on a cloud with very pleasant daylight from all sides,it is different from the American one, but the European one reminds me of my own home.I wish you nice moments ~
Greetings from Macedonia~
This is awsome! And what a lovely couple❤
Great build. Love it.
It’s just pretty much very practical 😊
Ooooh a COMVEE! ❤
It's a nicely short vehicle as the front passenger seating area is placed on top of the engine. Plus there's no back passenger seat area either. So those two spaces make fir a longer cabin w/out increasing vehicle length.. 👍
Looks amazing!!
Beautiful rig
A very nice set up one of the best i've seen you've done yourself proud / best wishes and happy times cheers
Love the truck. You guys really planned your vehicle type. Good job. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

Love your rig Olly. Appears to be very well engineered.

Awesome. You all bought at the right time. Great rig!

Hi❤ from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur fan's watching enjoy your day and activities.. .first time follow your UA-cam channel my friend 😅 i like your truck 🚛 my friend 😅so good
If someone told me to wait, I don’t wait
Excellent rig and very nice folks!
I love their home. I always wonder about the bathrooms. I would like to have a nice bathroom like theirs.
This rig ticks all my check boxes. Bravo! And I agree… an Africa trip will leave an imprint on you. Great zebra look 👍🏻. I’m ready when it coms up for sale … !! Take my money 🤑
Would’ve been nice if you would’ve posted the information about who the manufacture of the truck and camper were and more details about the vehicle.
Hallo Harriet & Olli,
wir haben aus aktuellem Anlass erst jetzt Euer Video zum Fuso entdeckt und wir haben uns schon ganz schön in Euer Fahrzeug verguckt... Wir stehen mitten im Umzug in ein Tiny-House und planen, ab 2025/26 auf Reisen zu gehen. Für den Fall, dass Ihr Euren Fuso doch mal verkaufen wollt, meldet Euch bitte unbedingt bei uns.
Liebe Grüße und weiterhin noch tolles Reisen😊
Sabine & Hartmut
Surprisingly no washer & dryer.
Great vehicle! I don't think your bathroom is wasted space. It's nice to have room to shower comfortably w/o banging into walls & fixtures. And it is the pass-through. Get it too small & that would be a struggle also. I have never seen those things under the mattress...great idea! Nice to know that Europe still has stick shift vehicles. I love stick shift & they're practically non-existent here in the U.S. 😢
Thanks for the fridge and freezer drawer tips ✌️
Beautiful Home ‼️ Congratulations 🎉
Nice. I don't normally like European builds because I think they look pretty sterile and plain like IKEA but this has some wood and a little personality added.
Somebody needs to tell him Millennials are getting into their forties :P
