****SALE PENDING****
After two years and a lifetime of adventures we’re selling our custom built Expedition Truck. While we’re going to be sad to see it go, we are excited for the opportunity to build the next one! This truck and camper were built to provide all the comforts and amenities...
We did not make any money on YouTube when we started this build and that was never the intent. We love the overland community and wanted to contribute. If a picture is worth 1,000 words then a video is worth 1,000,000. It's really difficult to write a concise and informative forum post and we...
The admins of this forum threatened to ban my account if I didn't pay to be a vendor because they said I was advertising my business. I disagree with them, and it really killed my motivation to continue updating this thread or to maintain it. Maybe someday when I have some free time I'll fix the...
Thanks for the feedback, the battery cable configuration is done in accordance to the Renogy instructions for the batteries. The BMS are able to communicate with the rj45 connectors and equalize.
We have been using our electrical system for 6+ weeks of full time in the cold and I have been impressed! It was extremely easy to set up and just flat our works. We used Renogy components for the battery/charger/inverter side of things and Blue Sea for everything else.
This is the bench...
You likely already have one. On our 2015 3500 I just turn cruise control on and then hit set and it idles up to 1200 RPM. Try it!
The Cummins documentation I have read says block heater recommended below 0F, but not required until -20F. I've had no issues starting as low as -7F. I tried to get...
Time for an update!
We have been on the road full time for 6 weeks now. The build ended up taking us 2.5 months total to complete. We spend $20,000 in material. Life on the road has been great! Most of our time thus far has been skiing but we are looking forward to warmer temps and less snow so...
I'm still here! I hope to update this thread eventually, I just don't have time at the moment.
We live in a very dry climate. I occasionally spray it down with some WD40 and that's sufficient. It has rusted a little bit, but I don't really have a choice. I don't have space inside or under a...
Awesome recommendation, I hadn't seen that option before.
Do you personally use Google Fi? Do you find the service to be great? I have considering switching to Fi a few times but I currently have Verizon locked into a GREAT rate (by Verizon standards) and I'm a little uneasy about losing that...
Thank you very much to all of you for supporting our build and watching our videos. We are blown away by the momentum on YouTube and continue to have a ton of fun with this project.
Episode 9 is up where we tackle the installation of the slide out fridge!
We've been working on getting all the mechanical systems installed, plumbed and wired. This has also included building a few of the cabinet boxes for the interior.
Here you can see the kitchen (bike box) and dinette taking shape. We're using Alder plywood for the interior cabinetry.
The...
Thank you very much! This build is a dream come true for me and I have as much fun building as I do adventuring. We are working hard to keep up on the quality even with the adventure on the horizon. I'll be sure to let Courtney know that you enjoy her videos. We sure are having fun creating them...
I have a tough time ever "finishing" a project, something about that last 10% taking 90% of the time! But, we have been diligent about making sure we finish a portion of the build before moving on. We finished up the underbody boxes with a coat of Raptor Liner. This was our first experience with...
Thank you very much for the response, and for following along on YouTube! I'm sure all this toilet talk is getting old but I think we're going to really like being free from RV dump stations. I hadn't considered vault toilets but that has been the overwhelming recommendation. I was imagining...
