  • CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THE ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD CAMPERVAN. This might just be it. Well, at least for us, this converted Mercedes G-Wagon turned out to be more capable than we could have ever imagined. Not only is it road legal in Germany, but it is also able to handle all types of terrain, like blizzards, very deep rivers, high winds, and keeps you comfortable the entire time. The interior cabin has hot water for showers, a bathroom, an electric induction stovetop, a fridge, two separate bed options, and massive amounts of storage for tools, food, and clothing. Plus, there are two solar panels mounted on the roof, and the 180ah Lithium battery can also be charged while driving, so you're never low on power. I don't think we've ever seen a van build so luxurious and functional, every single detail has been perfectly planned and executed.
    This beast is named "Gregor," and we got the opportunity to test him out for two weeks in Iceland thanks to Lou's cousin Tim and his wife Rike, who had him built by the pros at ORC. We hope you enjoy this van tour and if you have any questions about the vehicle make sure to leave them in the comments and we'll try to get back to you!
    We wanted to get you all the information you might be curious about, so we talked to Lou's cousin Tim who is the owner of this beautiful G-Wagon and got all the details for you :)

    What a vehicle! I love my rice but it took me awhile to learn not to burn the bottom, the method best for me is, I wash the rice real well drain, Warm the pot put a tablespoon of oil in, fry the rice till it dances than put the water or broth in, stir bring to a boil, cover turn off heat fifteen or so minutes when the rest of the meal is cooked so is the rice. I hope this helps sweet girl continue to be safe n lots of fun on your journey.

    Hi there, I have been following your episodes on Iceland. Nice videos and fun to see your perspective on my country. I do overlanding as well in one of those big modified 4x4's. I am sure you saw at least one of those on your travels here.
    I want to correct one thing in your video. You can wildcamp in Iceland, but there are caveats. You cannot sleep in a motorised vehicle or in something that is pulled by a motorised vehicle. So it must be a tent/bivy or sleep directly under the stars. It must be on untilled land and not fenced in. There must be no visible sign from a landowner prohibiting camping. You must be a reasonable distance away from an organised campsite or human dwelling. You are only allowed to camp for one night at a time in that spot. No more than three tents are allowed in one group. If you are in a vehicle then it must be legally parked somewhere. You cant drive the car into a wildcamp site as that would be illegal offroad driving, so obviously these caveats are meant for hikers and cyclists, but if you can manage to park your car legally somewhere and bring a tent, then it is doable. Wildcamping is prohibited in South Iceland, but anywhere else it is allowed as long as you follow these rules. If you ever return to Iceland, then I recommend either coming in march and try to go for a "superjeep" on a glacier, or visit during july and august and aim for the far less trodden areas, like the North East and Westfjords.
