Definitely one of the best and cleanest floor plans I've seen in a long time....congrats and safe travels!!
yes, this is my 3rd truck - with the most efficient floor plan - thanks for watching
This is absolutely fantastic. I've seen so many of this style of build but they're on such huge trucks that for me become impractical. This is perfectly sized and so practically partioned. Excellent work!
Thank you Tatias, I had a bigger 13 ton MAN truck before this one and often got stuck in small Northern vials or on bridges that did not carry the weight - so that one is perfect.. Thanks for watching and safe travels! cheers Simon
I never see somebody coming out of the living box of those kind of trucks. They are always already outside and take the staircase out. Do they jump out ? What in an emergency situation... in the dark ? I travel alone, the last thing I need is some injury on my foots or legs . Crawling trough the cabin ? Why then not always crawling in and out ? Once I made a box with a door in two parts met folding steps on the down part. This time I made a strong door, with an elevator on it. I go out that way, if I stay somewhere the platform of that elevator is almost up and there is put a staircase on, that is kept outside. It's 1,40 m high . to get in and I have a second door as a " screen door " so the outdoor can be open when I'm in or out and stil privacy . So, I come out in the morning, go down with the elevator , put the elevator up again, staircase on the platform en go in and out with that staicase. The door makes 90 ° with the wall. 🙂 ( elevator, folding platform and folding side protection so going down between that protection and the wall,/wheel of the truck. Platform is a grill to clean the shoes ) O, I builded the box and everything in or out ,myself.... again, I have to know everything, being alone on the road and I never use mechanics from garages, they are selden just at that spot where I can have a probleme... 🙂 Nice truck by the way !
@@rangemog21 thanks, great comment and solution to your problem. I actually asked the same question you were asking. How do I get out when the stairs are not down. But, I can easily get out without the stairs pulled out, by simply taking two steps down to the ground by holding on to the sides of the door. Thanks for watching and safe travels to you!
@@simonjourneyman So, the revers way to get in, steps out, going in, on the knees to put the steps back in place. On the knees, steps out going down, steps in, back in place. Looks safe to me and all we do is most a compromise and personal opinion. If you go to a truck building compagny and you ask for an elevator on the door, they send you away as a fool. because nobody ever has asked that and they don't offer that themselves. I had never seen one compagny who offer the folding staircase on the door,so why should they come up with an elevator.... 🙂 A door with steps on it, a lot of small planes have it for ages. A door in two parts and that close correctly and can hold people is ofcorse complex, more then a frame around a sandwich plate. My doors have no outside locks, nothing visible to start to put stuff in with damages by people who wanne go inside when the owner is not present. It looks all verry expensive.... and safety to protect it is not a subject. Or, five heavy locks and no protection for car windows... I ame a builder and an owner. The last thing I want that somebody was inside my home. It's an unpleasent feeling, as long as one have to live in it again.... I write this in general, not for your truck only, don't misunderstand me, I write from the point that people who see your truck, will thinck about going on adventures themselves. So the more owners share theyre toughst on things, the better... in my humble opinion.... 🙂 Times are changing, for a lot of reasons and protecthing ones things is more and more a probleme. I had never problemes, I'm 73 and my last project has a lot of wood... to hold on .... 🙂 Keep on safe trucking and thanks for your reaction.
definitely expencive but the best overthink in term of usability
Out of all the small 4x4/off road campers that I've seen over the years on youtube this is my favorite one to date. Its not too flashy/luxurious or plain, the interior is welcoming and cozy, plus for the size the bathroom has the shower and toilet separated. The fordable sink with flexible hose was a simple but smart solution for space limitations. I love this camper.
Thanks so much Mogwai ✌
I love how clean the floor plan is. No wasted space. Definitely one of the best expedition campers out there. ❤
thank you RBGameZ... love it myself :-)
I've been looking at so many builds while I get back on my feet and this is the first I've seen a pass-through in a cab over that looked so clean. Excellent craftsmanship. ^^
Hi Alexander, thanks for watching and your compliments. Wishing you all the best energy to get back on your feet - permanent travel is allways a great choice. Good luck, best Simon
I like this very much; it's not bulky and looks more manageable to handle than some of heavier ones we usually see. I also like the fact that you can access the cabin directly from the living area without having to leave the vehicle. Very useful if you wake up and find you are surrounded by wolves or bears.
Thanks George, yes, that is very practical, also in heavy rain and when you suddenly have to leave a location in the middle of the night. And the path-through is not a crawl space, but a real door to step through. Thanks for watching, safe travels Simon
....or Lions if you are overlanding in Kenya's heavenly wilds.
Good morning. Thank you for your many videos. We are developing the specification for our future vehicle and your videos, which we watch in detail several times, are very useful to us. It is also a pleasure to listen to you speak English which is very understandable for a French person. Have a good trip.
Bonjour Pierre, many thanks for your compliments, yes, I try to keep things a s simple as possible, in my videos as well as in my truck :-) What kind of vehicle are you planning to build? Just curious what other travelers are doing :-) Thanks for commenting, my next video will be about my recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival. cheers et bone route Simon
Great video! I loved the stop action shots with you removing the cushions and showing the electrical system and also when you shot the floor heater. Well done.
Thanks!
thanks for watching Alketas 🙂
This is by far one of the best Campers I have seen on the internet. Functional and with all the ameneties for a comfortable and extended off-grid life. The 4x4 Mitsubishi Fuso it is built on is an excellent platform with global aftersales support. This is far better than all those impractical huge Trucks some folks like building campers on. Also with superb headroom without the need of the ubiquitous pop up roof!
Hi Tom, yes you summarised it just perfectly. I had a much bigger MAN truck before which was not really very practical, specially on the narrow roads of Norway. Hence I decided to get rid of it and buy a practical travel vehicle. Thanks for watching and commenting and safe travels to you. cheers Simon
I watch many campervideos and everytime... i think, this is really the best... But.... this is the best camper :) So much fun on your travels!
Thank you so much DM, and safe travels to you :-)
I am so entertained by your videos! I can't wait to see your next adventures. I love your presentations!
thank you! What a great compliment and thanks for following me on my journey - more to come soon .-)
Great expedition vehicle. Will be building mine soon. I love the simplistic and minimalistic approach. love it
thank you, Atsu and good luck building your own dram vehicle, safe travels Simon
Thank you for the tour of your camper. Such a calm space.
That cable management is just so mesmerizing!
Super!! Love this road machine and living quarters ❤
The video is well done with soothing music as well!
Beautiful, rigid, well-laid out and functional motorhome. Enjoy it!
Thank you Walter, I am definitely enjoying it. All the best to you and thanks for watching.
Wow! This vehicle is spectacular. Everything about it is perfect, including all the interior design choices. Well done!
Thanks for the compliment. After owning two other travel car, this one really works best and also saves a a cozy home on wheels. Thanks for watching, cheers Simon
One of the best build I have seen, fantastic!
thanks Boris
One of the best I've seen. Congratulations!
Thanks
Very well put together, great video, thanks!
thank you Tuvia
Nicely done and the access to the box from the cab has a solid door and the secondary door for the bathroom insulate the sleeping/living area from the cab area keeping cold air at bay. In very cold weather if the front cab is not closed up from the back area, it transmits a lot of cold area.
Yes, that is all correct, thanks for watching and commenting, Jay Ess
Very impressive, practical, and clean! Great design.
Glad you like it!
i really love the video, it has its own calmness to it, and also your vehicle, its really perfect and very practical
Hello Yusril, great compliment, thank you very much, yes I am very happy with my build and vehicle, Safe travels Simon
to be honest with you, the best plan for everything inside and outside.
awesome review, awesome vehicle!
Glad you like it!
Simply wonderful! I love it, congratulations!
Thank you :-)
Awesome, absolutely awesome!
And beautifully presented as well...👌
Thanks! 👍
I love this . I love the way everything is hidden and I think you are a genius at design.
thank you, rubberdc, not everything designed by me, but most of it. Thanks for commenting, cheers Simon
Great video - well built, perfect floor plan, perfect size.
thanks Dillon, and yes perfect size, much better than the bigger unpractical truck I used to drive before, cheers and thanks for watching
Very nice build. Well done. Lots of space without "clutter".
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for sharing! I like the narration, and I love the appearance and ambience of or similarities of a military truck and a cabin inside beautiful ships, It also resembles beautiful areas partitions of an airplane or small yachts!
Thanks Napoleon Gardening and Adventure TV.. I also like the color a lot, very different from all the white/beige vans in the streets. And yes, a bit like a military truck - which might also be a bit of a problem travelling in political unstable countries like South America... safe travels to you and thanks for subscribing Simon
Thanks for the upload. Very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent review!!!
Perfekte Vorstellung, sehr schönes Expeditionsmobil👍👍👍

Amazing camper! Good use of the Fuso platform.
thank you!
One of the best tours I've seen and a Beautifully made truck (and perfectly formed !) the craftsmanship is obvious . Thanks for the film
thank you justin, It is a great joy to travel with it every day.. more adventures coming up soon, best Simon
I have never used the term 'Beautiful' before when it comes to my love and multiple views of RV rigs. But I am now. It's a Beautiful Unit!!
merci Bernard, this is beautiful compliment!
Really nice video and build. I like how the box is fitted to the chassis. This makes a lot of sense. It would be great to see more of the structure of the build and the process of the build. Was it a pre-built box that you fitted, or was it a box that you had built specifically for purpose?
Hi Dion, thanks for watching and commenting. The chassis is provided by Fuso, but altered from the engineers from WOELCKE, Germany. The box was built according to my specification, within the possible limits of that truck. Unfortunately I have no shots of the actual built in the early stages. (whiting I would have them..) Maybe a contact to WOELCKE HEIMSHEIM GERMANY could resolve that. Safer travels to you, best Simon
Gr8 video & love your floor plan
Thank you, tahir, cheers Simon
Very nicely and practically designed 👌👍
Thanks a lot
Perfect van-track. Hige places and it's in another level. You are so lucky, having this unique van. The question is the totally cost. Thanks for the beautiful video. God bless you 🙏
Huge places
Hello Mike, thanks for watching :-) the total cost of this build is in the low 300K €.. safe travels to you, man ...cheers Simon
I cant find any similar vlog that serve such a detail things about RV sir.. i like this vidio and i like your car too.. i wonder how many years to spend keep the money safe and buy similar RV.. i am sure this RV still up to date even for next 25years
Thank you, Muhammad, yes, I am very happy with this truck - used to have a bigger 13ton MAN, which was simply too big an d clumsy. Thanks for watching and safte travels Simon
Excellent truck(home!). Wishing you many safe and enjoyable journeys!!
thank you, Birender, tiny home on wheels was the intention indeed. Best Simon
This is just like my dream motorhome. Amazing.
many thanks zmwe31
Watching your videos makes my sleep often dream that I am in this mobile home and exploring beautiful nature. It seems really fun huh..
yes, I am blessed with a wonderful life full of adventure and if you are planning to do so as well, you will also explore the world in an expedition vehicle..
Great design and high quality build.
Many thanks Carlo! :-)
You have done an amazing job sir!
.. many thanks Gideon! really appreciate it and safe travels to you...
Cool and best camper van layout design and best detail. 👍
Thanks! 👍
love the layout!
thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
That would be perfect for me, my fart prone dog and my semi tame wild cat and in case you’re wondering he’s very protective of my dog and me. I know who’d get the large bed , my dog and wild cat and I’d get the breakfast bar built it’s a refreshing change to watch a video like yours where there’s no hard sell but rather showing an off road home that’s tasteful and classy. 🙏
Thanks for the great compliment, James. I have also travelled with a dog, great for security reasons, but also a bit limiting to where you can go, customs etc. - But hey, they are our best friends and maybe some day a stray "destiny dog" will cross my path. Good luck and safe travels to you, best Simon
A superb well done video tour, of course I enjoy video tour!!! Thanks for sharing, nice truck!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching .-)
I really like you set up. I think it’s one of my top choices.
Thank you Chico, I looked at many many builds and this one really works perfect for me, not too small and not to big. Safe travels, best Simon
Neat 10/10
Practicality 10/10
Well-done
thanks for watching and commenting🙂
This is the very kind, the most emotionally serene, very informative video! Thanks, and like from me))
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great practical design!
Thanks! 👍
Wow beautiful sharing my friend... watching from Malaysia 👍😎
Thank you Wilson, Malaysia is on my bucket list as well..
Sir. I have just watched your video and I must say you have a very nice and beautiful house on wheels. May i wish you many many safe and amazing journeys in it. A true comfortable memory maker.
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes, I enjoy my vehicle and mobile home every day. Right now I am winter camping in the Swiss alps where it was -30C last night... and still cozy warm in here.. Safe travels Simon
I love your video! it's make me calm and yeah I have subscribe you! ✨
thanks for watching and subscribing, it is much appreciated, best Simon
Stunning, I love it.
Thank you! 😊

Wonderfull vehicle. I also like the pleasent way you describe it.
thank you very much, eyalofer.. 🙂
Live ur best life my friend thanks for sharing..

Spent xmas at that very same awesome spot! Congratulations on your build! Gruss vom Chasseral...
Danke fürs feedback, Peter, wirklich unglaublich schöner und entspannter Fleck dort unten ✌Gruss Simon
Beautiful build, i hope you will enjoy it.
thanks for watching, Butnaru, yes, I am enjoying it daily.. :-)
beautiful energy both ✨️
Tank you Michael and thanks for watching
Appreciate it thank you❣
You are so welcome
i just love what you did.
Thanks! 👍
perfect. I would have swapped the gas elements with electric ones, and possibly made room for a black water tank + pump to empty the tank, and connect a regular bathroom rather than a composting one. Coffe machine and Oven, or at least one of the two, could have been sacrificed for some space for clothes to make this build a little bit more comfortable for long journeys, although they are really cool to have. Too bad the modern diesels come with the adblue additive, making these modern vehicles less adequate for more adventorous journeys. Apart from this, it's an impressive build, perfect size, really polished. This vehicle format makes a lot of sense to me. Out of curiosity, what's on the cabin roof space? Thank you for sharing.
Hi Toso, thanks for watching and your comments. Yes, I am very happy with this build. Before this build, I had a 13 ton MAN with more space for clothing, a regular toilet with 300l blackwater tank. I sold this vehicle two years ago, because it was too big and clumsy. You are right, its nice to a have a real toilet, but it also uses a lot of water. But I also have to admit that I am not really happy with my composting toilet. I thought about exchanging it for a Cinderella gas-burning toilet. After years of extensive travelling in various vehicles, I figured that you don't really need that much clothing, just had to figure out what exactly I need for all kinds of weather and climate situations - and I think I have the perfect outfits now. - I am currently working on a video just focussing on the driver cabin and I will post that soon. In the overhead compartment I have emergency kits, traffic-warning lights etc. There's plenty of space for other things too. But all things considered, this floorplan and build works perfectly for me - and the vehicle even fits into very small parking spaces in the middle of any city. Thanks and enjoy your travels!
Great Video, I want one!!!
Thanks! 👍
i love it,nice set up,
thanks
Beautiful Rig!!!
Very brilliant in the slightest detail,gorgeous in other words
Thank you so much 😀
Impressive build.
Thanks Thomas!
Nice idea fitting the pass through door in the bathroom... Under normal circumstances it's not a door you're gonna use a lot, so sacrificing a wall and it's front space makes little sense. This way you make use of that space. Plus you have a place to clean up if had to get out while driving off-road.
Excelent video, beautiful home.
thank you, yes, every day feels perfect 🙂
I never thought about the windows being up so high that that gives you inbuilt privacy, good point.
Exactly, privacy and security, since they are hard to reach. Safe travels Simon
It’s clean simple beautiful
Thank you!
Looks cool ,I really like it ,nice colour 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Well at least you’re getting to travel more than I am for the moment because my 4by 4 system has given up the ghost and it’s getting difficult to source a good drive train for my Bedford so I might have to bite the bullet and buy a newish off the shelf off-roader but at least I can still go weekend camping on my cj250 anyhoo safe journey and happy trails. 🙏👍
More practical than all the videos I have watched.
thanks for the complement, really appreciate it and thanks for watching!
@@simonjourneyman no, thank you for doing this, you broke down soo many things I had issues with, folding sink in the bathroom, double doors to the cab, shelves, storage, accessibility. The solar panels on the roof, I was thinking about windows and people / invasion of privacy you addressed that, the stairs. Ease of access to so many other features.you should do a video on what people should consider when building such.
@@aktveator1309 thanks, yes you are right, I should really do a video about all that, specially the issue of security. The higher up, the less problems:-) I did not mention and show the gas-alarm that I installed, important feature as well. Good luck with your build, hope that I was able to assist in some way, Simon
@@simonjourneyman you inspired me, keep going, you inspired me, I had come to the conclusion, when I travel around Australia where I live, it will be by boat. But with this truck set up the desert terrains, the long roads with nothing in between, your vehicle setup is the perfect oasis.
@@aktveator1309 that is a perfect plan, no shipment of the vehicle around the world prior to the travel.. :-)
This is perfect!
Thanks
Great work 👏🏻
Thanks Sergio!
i love it good job
Thanks Khash
très belle vidéo merci
merçi Pierrot..
Amazing!!
Thank you!
My kind of vehicle, like the Mercedes 4X4 vans that are adapted for off road, lifted suspension and big wheels and tyres etc. but the main thing is a toilet and shower and heating haha. Excellent layout.
you are so right, I built it practically around the toilet and shower ;.)
Mint setup, definitely tick all the box
thanks Mienol...
Looks really nice :)
thank you... and it also drives really nice ;.)
Awesome vehicle!! Cheers !!
thank you and high five back!
