Seems like the consensus is the build the bathroom! I’m surprised, but you’ve convinced me of the utility of using the bathroom as storage and increasing my wife’s enjoyment on the road as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The design I have is 24” x 30”. My shower at home measures 30” x 30” so it’s somewhat comparable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Currently we just use tents and camp out of the Subaru Outback. I go between building out a full expedition box truck or going with a lighter and smaller vehicle like a van and hitting up more hotels and airbnbs on occasion as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kerry. Above you mentioned taking at FG in 4x4 and swapping a cab from an FE onto it. To be honest I don’t do much mechanically, but at a high level it makes sense and I’m willing to learn. What would be involved? Know anyone who does this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get that. Our plan is to keep it in bed mode and primarily sit outside underneath an awning with chairs and just use the interior for bad weather, but I appreciate the perspective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Makes sense that it can double as storage, but storage can’t double as a bathroom. Our plan is to travel to all 50 states and visit all the National Parks, then venture into Canada and South America when our kids are older. If all goes as planned we’ll probably be on the road for several...

Basically a shower stall with hard walls and a door with a drain and a removable portable toilet inside. No sink inside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome! My kids are 3 and 1 so they won’t take up much space for a while. I would love a crew cab with 35” super singles and a total composites box on the back. We’re designing a box about 12’ to 13’ long, 80” wide inside. Working front to back the plan is an east/ west front queen bed that...

I’ll need to dig into the US laws. It probably varies by state here. I suppose RV manufacturers have dealt with this already here so I’ll check out that avenue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. What would be your plan as far as windows goes? Since we’ve got two young kids my preference would probably be a crew cab so we can fix their car seats in permanently, but I’m going to do a lot of research on the regular cab with seats in the back option. Sent from my...

Would you rather have a bathroom or more storage in a long term camper? Why? I would personally take more storage space, but my wife would like a bathroom. A bathroom seems to complicate a build significantly. I would personally prefer to just stay at an Airbnb or campsite and use an actual...

Thanks for the tip! I will check out Chile. I’ve also thought why not just get an American pick up it would cruise great on the highway, have comfortable seating, have stock 4x4, etc. Do you know any resources on how to swap a cab. I like that option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip! My thought was that a crew cab would result in more space in the back, less shuffling around chairs and what not…do you have any examples of the seats inside the box? I haven’t been able to find anything anywhere the last few days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got a family of 4. Within a few years we’re planning to explore the USA and Canada nearly full time, then probably do the Pan American Highway. Originally I was thinking of a RAM 3500 or F350 crew cab with a camper on the back, but I recently discovered the Japanese cab over trucks. I...
