Looking forward to this video. Thanks Iain.

Well it turned out nice because I used quality products like Total Composites and I used a quality builder in Overland Adventure Trucks. Thanks for making great stuff!

Thanks Billiebob, yeah it just seemed safer to me. I'm an old guy and I want to stay in this lifestyle until I'm a really really old guy. A fall could spell the end of my Mog adventures so I sacrificed a possible 3rd fuel tank. Trade-offs on every single decision but that also adds some fun to...

Hi Roamit, I've been following your build as well and have learned much. The max I can put on the roof is 1600 watts of solar. Not great but I just don't have the real estate up there. I thought about the slide out solutions where an additional set of panels slides out but I don't think I'll...

I'm thinking about it. I'm still researching some of the interior stuff and it would be a good place to ask the manufacturers about some of the things I still don't fully understand.

The box is 13 feet so it will be a little tight but I can manage. The idea behind 2 fuel sources is to firstly keeping things simple and secondly to offer redundant systems across both fuel sources. For example, I'll have electrically heated floors and diesel fired hydronic radiators. Not just...

Almost finished with Phase 1 of the U500 camper project. Phase 1 was getting a U500NA and adding the habitat box, subframe, Outbound doors and windows, new fuel tanks (75+55 gallons), running lights, integrated tail lights, new wheels, new XZL Plus tires, and a hydraulic scissor lift for the...

That looks really good. Really, REALLY good.

Thanks for the update. I'm inching closer to getting out there and threads like this are great for motivation. Cheers!

Nice build! What motorcycle is in the 5th picture?

Wow this truck is coming together very nicely!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

Mad skills to produce such a nice door!

Definitely living the dream! The portrait in front of the bears is amazing.

@clydeps Thank you, super helpful and super detailed.

Plus 1 in watching your recirculating shower plan come to life. Nice to see fresh ideas!

@Iain_U1250 is correct, when building an overlander everything is about compromise and trade-offs. I was very lucky when I started my design thinking 18 months ago in that I struck up a very valuable back and forth with Thomas Ritter the head of Unicat. He answered a lot of my rookie questions...

This auction just ended at 151,000 and did not reach the sellers reserve. This build makes zero sense. The Unimog is built to go anywhere so why would you put a chopped up travel trailer on the back? Oh and it's put on backwards which is why the door is on the wrong side for the US. That travel...

Starlink on my shopping list as well. @cobo I'm planning my electrical now and was all set on 24V system but I'm not knowledgeable here. Is there an advantage to 48V? Thanks guys.

Thanks! Yep nothing says "committed" like two holes in the roof! :)
