    The entry design is great

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  2 дні тому

      Thanks so much, we like how it increases the living space inside and moved the gray water tank weight more toward the center of the vehicle. Also giving you the option to clean off muddy boots or pets before they enter the space.

      We do as well, it opens the rest of the living space up and at the same time closes off the toilet area.

    2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle with a rear entry.
    We travel through areas with traffic in the left lane ('RHD', Right-Hand Drive).
    .
    A side entry would sometimes be out into the traffic lane.

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  27 днів тому

      Yes that is true, we have built them many ways. A rear door is certainly an option but the you would generally loose the garage area or have to move it to a different section to store any larger items. There is always a trade off depending how you like to travel.

    We built our ExpeditionVehicle with the mass between the axles... zero over-hang.
    .
    We think this helps with handling.

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  23 дні тому

      Yes it can, we also have our Gray and black tanks in the center near the front, There are always drawbacks to different designs, It just depends if you priority is more space or more maneuverability. Rarely do you get both.

    Small windows set high!
    Small targets for branches and jealous passers-by.
    .
    2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle with small windows.
    We mounted these at our eye-level standing inside, about 8'/2.3m above pavement.

      The box can be designed however you would like, with many size window options and whatever location you like. All our hatches have metal frames with robust locking systems and double pane glass windows for added security.

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  27 днів тому

      The Fuses are a circuit breaker style fuse holder, should it need to be replaced with a fuse it can be. but generally a reset is adequate unless there is a major problem.

      You don’t get it? Are you daft? Of it hasn’t sold in 3 years than clearly they’re asking too much. The segment appeals much more to the blue-collar person who can’t afford a $400,000 camper. CEOs and executives that can afford it don’t have the interest in camping. They just want to fly to their condo in the mountains.

    That whole ladder system is an accident just waiting to happen, no hand rails. Unless this is only for Australia and South Africa. What if it's the winter time and there's ice? What are they suppose to hold on too? Luck ??

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  День тому

      It's actually a very common solution for vehicles like this. A hand rail system could be integrated into the side of the box for customers who would be concerned about that. However, we have used this very vehicle many times in winter conditions and had zero issues with the the steps. The pooched metal on the step surface provides a lot of traction and is not comfortable to walk on barefoot because of that feature. There is a lot of traction, even in icy/snowy conditions.

    Why there is no passthrough the driver seat?

    • @roughroadequipment
      @roughroadequipment  Місяць тому +4

      With this setup we used a cab and chassis setup. With a cutaway chassis we could have done a passthrough, Not every customer wants the pass through and it limits the back seat capacity as well. But as we build these custom to order, we can build it either way. Whatever you like.

      Hi there, we import and sell both KCT and Outbound windows. Both are glass dual pane windows with bug screens and shade cloths. Outbound offers standard sizes and KCT offers custom sizes. Both are great options. Shoot us an email and we can get you some numbers for the windows that you have.

      These vehicles take a year to build with over 43 craftsmen and women and are not RV's. They are built with components that last. They are not built for weekend travels a few times a year. The people who buy them live in them when they travel typically for years.

      It's a style for sure, some people wish for more warmth and others wish for the clean white look. The good news is there are may different ways to finish the interior and many different ways to configure the interior. We build them custom, however you want it laid out and finished inside.
