Can you imagine traveling the world in this, I’d feel like it’s making me a target for how outrageously expensive it must be….. one hell of a rig ✊
Oh its a sure thing drive any of these in any country where vehicle theft or robbery is common and your chances of either being robbed and or killed go up as now you've made yourself a target.
yeah, same way they can be stole in Mexico, Peru and etc, they can be stole in the Hamptons
@@cmaekkk no doubt, but hijackings are much less likely in the Hamptons.
@@blain5827 a lil bit lol :)
@@aloneinthedark9860 these vehicles are so rare and huge that it makes stealing it quite difficult as you need to first hide it and then sell it in a way that cannot be traced.
Honestly the best GXV youtube video yet. Lots of old ones and a few rush through jobs with creators explaining the rigs, but really to have the builders go through them, just awesome!
Wow! I had no idea that John Madden got into the custom overlanding rig building business. Nice!
biggest thing i hate about most of these is that the cab doesnt connect to the living area , these are perfect , when traveling in the middle of nowhere there may come time where you need to go from your bed to the driver seat without going outside this was something i realized when buying an rv and always something that stands out to me in alot of these other builds . im sure these cost a pretty penny but that is one of the over all most complete rigs ive ever seen
It does connect
@@aidigat9551 reading comprehension is key . Try again
@@danchris4287 Yep, and so is learning how to write.
The truck has cab access you can see at 9:38
@@morgancrossley6166 re read my coment and try again , the biggest thing i hate in MOST of these is that they dont connect , THESE ARE PERFECT, then i go on to explain why its good to have cab access . reading comprehension is a key to success in these modern times
The thing with a lot of these vehicles is that they are way out of the budget of most people… They are for a select few, and for that reason extremely unrealistic. You do not need a vehicle like this to travel around the world… We bought an old Mercedes van, converted it into a campervan and we’ve travelled all around the world in it. So, there will probably be thousands of people watching this video thinking we could never do this… Don’t believe the lie. Live your dream. You don’t need to be a millionaire to travel the world!
It had to be even deeper experience without all that “luxury” right? ✌️😊
@@richardazari9912 it was incredible 👌
In europe you can do it with a small van, a matress and a gas cooker. Just park at long haul truck stops that are open 24/7. They usually have showers you can use for a small fee and enough parking spots to stay overnight.
@@ChervonaLada 100% 👌
I converted a 2012 Ford Transit box van to stealth camper myself with garage under the bed with room for my dirt bike motorcycle and mountain bike. When you make it yourself you get it how YOU want it at a fraction of the price of a ready made camper van.
Wowza!! These are beasts!!! Would love to own but I became disabled from a injury. With a chair ♿️lift it might work. Very nice. Thanks for the peek inside
Impressive, spectacular and encourageing for me. Being a forester I would love to one like this. Thanks for the idea
Very cool how a passion turns into a business. Love the unimog
The North American version of Unicat. Well done GXV! The K370 is a great chassis. I wish it came as a 6x6 with increased cab room. But hey, it's a beautiful and well-executed rig as it is!
Very professional work, well thought out facilities, great electrical systems with the solar panels and fully electric kitchen, aircon, pumps, winches etc. My preference is for more natural & sustainable materials although I understand the weight factor. Great work, thank you.
This is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY… in a good way 👍👍👍
The list of technological & engineering improvements that are integrated into your vehicles are impressive, to say the least. It's obvious you have invested time, effort and expense into building a world class product! Best of luck to you with your TARGET audience.
I respect u guys do everything in house...I probably couldn't afford it but man I wish I had a truck like this
anyone who could possibly afford this, would never use it.
Wow bringing it strong with these rigs and solid message about the ultimate reason 🙌
I don’t listen much to out side spec but this one … the out side specs are amazing.. epic build
If I had something like this I probably wouldn't travel the world with it, especially the way things are right now. But I wouldn't run out of places to explore here in the USA.
that gas mileage tho :O
Buying such a vehicle to use in the backyard would be a great waste indeed. I believe it is an exclusively American way of thinking that we in the rest of the world could not understand.
@@prefono I never said it would be a waste. The United States has a vast amount of land to explore. And what do you mean by "American" way of thinking? You know nothing about me.
@@not_sure... I don't know you and mine is not a criticism of anyone in particular. It is just an observation: this type of vehicle is aimed at great travelers, people who want to immerse themselves in cultures other than their own without following the itineraries of tourists. The only ones who use them to stay in their country are some Americans. Nobody else would. I don't know why you think it's a personal attack ... It's not personal and it's not an attack either.
@@prefono it's a US based company, of course they're the only ones buying this. It's an overlanding rig, it's not specifically for going to other countries. My point in my original comment is that other countries are getting too dangerous to be driving around like they did back in the day. In order to get to south America, you'll have to pass through Mexico and only an idiot would do that with something like this. So if someone had the money to buy this, it is not a waste to use in the US and Canada and of course it would be Americans because this is where they're being sold. Your comment literally makes no sense and is just argumentative for no reason.
Really impressed by the quality of build materials.
Nice couple. I like their way of presenting. Good luck with everything you do.
Love the vehicles but the price goes up to half a million! At that point a rented truck and a plane ticket makes a lot more sense.
Absolutely… These videos are fantasyland for most people. We travelled around the world in a £7000 Mercedes van 👌
At that point you cant really go anywhere without attracting a bunch of unwanted attention so what's even the point
So you wanna go to Africa villages, dessert and wild forest with a plane?
@@elvismegabrain752 Definitely not… But you can most definitely do it in a cheap customised van
@@NorthernMigrationTravel yeah this make sense
If you wanna travel the back roads of South America, be sure to do it in a $500,000 cartel-wet-dream-mobile 👏
😂 right
Right! No better way to blend in with the "locals"! Not to mention, what better way to get "Americans" to far away places. God help us!
Was thinking the exact same thing... you'd have to travel with a fucking ARMY to not get jacked.
Wish we have got that kind of Rigs making and selling here in my country. Such great vehicles they are.
It doesn't matter what country it's made in, if you can afford it, you can afford the extra cost to have it shipped to your country. They start in the half million dollar range to well over a million.
Great job great work brilliant designs coming together. Seems like a heavy truck & a 450 design only way to go if towing.
Absolutely beautiful! 🤍🇬🇧🤍
I have been binge watching FLORB for 2 days starting from season 1 of 'alternative living' and it keeps getting more crazier
Crazier what, Price? Or innovation?
@@omarwilliams1145 bro, creativity
The adventures I’d love to take these beasts on are a many. Very cool.
Loved that you saw an opening in your travels to South America and realised "where are all of the other off-road vehicles", do you have many customers making the drives down to South America in your vehicles?
This is great. Beautiful builds.
This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Awesome rigs you guys build.
this rig is amazing!
Wow that's spectacular
FLORB: this is such a great KZhead channel for inspiration.
the last double decker truck was awesome,that's my dream truck 😊
That is a very impressive purpose driven vehicle and I like the fact that serious and dedicated people with their own experience have designed, build and customized this overlander for their customers.
Wow what a chasie!and control with air from vehicle up front
One of the best RV conversions I've ever seen. Love it. However, price never mentioned so I guess it's on the high side
Got to be in the £1m usd area
$330k-$550k+
A job well done ☺️
Just seems like a ransom kidnapping scenario would happen for sure in that thing. But is is awesome 🤩
Exactly, I’d need something bulletproof
Wow I really hope we can one day get these beautiful trucks in Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏽 ❤️ I eouod love to own 1 to drive around Australia
Make your own camper van :) That is what I did... I bought a 2012 Ford Transit box van and made it into a campervan with my mom doing most of the work while I did the planning and helped.
I'm patiently waiting for a time when i can afford something like this and go shopping. Lots of cool options in the market at various price points. I'm a big fan of Earthcruisers and wished it comes in a 6x6. I love a cab over design, 4x4/6x6/8x8 but mileage, noise level, durability, capability must all be factored in. My little bit of research and talking to guys with rigs this large is that the larger the truck, the noisier it is to drive. Some of the military chassis rigs require headphones inside the cabin just to talk to your spouse/passenger!
Great video, thank you.
This Camper Van Is Fabulous!!!
This is amazing, do you do right hand drive conversions ?
Outstanding!
Beautiful motor home car tour 🥰❤
11:48 This is the most spectacular RV / Overlanding vehicle ever made.
You haven't seen many of them, huh? :D
It was my dream to build an expedition truck camper and although a part of me still wants to with the unrest insee around the world the plan would be to escape very remotely and to be able to park and use as a long term cabin. would need a wood stove, larger farm sink, water maker and pump, bullet proof walls and windows, small motorcycle garage/workshop at the back with ramp. They build very nice units but each person has thier own ideas and they can make them happen for most
Beautiful
Plumbing is amazing!
Awesome video and camper trucks
How do you stop the torsion forces from the frame during extreme off road riding to transfer from the truck frame to the rear cabin? What type of subframe do you use and how is it attached to the truck frame to eliminate any of those forces to transfer over to the rear cabin?
Overlanding how many trees he’s going to have to cut down to pass lol
It's like they're bragging lol 🤣 You're making yourself an easy target 🎯
I’m too old, ignorant and broke to own a vehicle like this but DANG!! They are amazing and super cool!
So am I.
I have never seen trucks like those before especially the unimog one .
Wow! I just loved you guys in Storage Wars!
Crazy nice
any water filtration/recycling on these? would make the water onboard last far longer
"Pangaea model starts out small and gets bigger" I can't relate to the second part.
Amazing! Finally some quality vehicles from an American company. Completely different build philosophy from other American companies in the same industry. The shown vehicles resemble in their designs the vehicles made in Europe.
You mean companies like Earthroamer?
Quite amazing. 👍🐉🐲🐉
I’d love to travel in one of those . A couple of years or so making friends cookouts , drinking and meeting people trying new foods ect friends . I’d party with everyone all over the World !
Triple slide outs would be awesome.
best thing on top of costing an arm & a leg is, it gets a sweet 4miles to the gallon
Well that's better than my condo
WOW, really really impressive.👍👌😮😯
Amazing what you can do with a little cash. I am happy for whom ever gets to own one of these mtf’s 💯😎
Nice storage area. But noticed the water and electrical items in there does not have a door to protect the vital components. You know things move around in any storage area, no matter how well you tie down. Unplanned avoidance of accident maneuvers causes major shifts, right into those components in storage bay.
great... bravoo
I can say I live in The City of Atlanta Georgia and I've Never seen any thing like These Big Trucks. And I don't know if I can afford something like that but it's Nice to See it all Created😏
Ficou top! Uma duvida esse sistema de eixos direcional da pra ser instalado em um scania r500 na configuração 6x6 ? E como chama esse sistema?
I would luv to have one of these
But the Euro Millions.
Had a chance to meet this nice lady at the Overland Expo East at Charlottesville, VA in Oct 2022. First came across this couple when they were in South America on a barge for 10-days. I thought their rig at that time was awesome but chatting with her I heard a bit more back story. First, the unit didn’t have an A/C so it was miserable. Second, she had to hide while on the barge as there were 25-men/truckers and she was the only female. So, 10-days in their rig with no A/C. Their rig at the Expo was awesome but as others have said, out of the price range of most average folks. However, they are still very impressive.
Thanks
For me I'd like to build something like a container shippable 4wd fuso earth cruiser, but no pop up tent but rather an expandable cabin, up and to all three sides.
Make it yourself :) It usually cost a lot less then baying ready made camper and you can make it exactly how you want it.
At 5 mpg a 7 hours trip (500 miles) will cost about $500 of gasoline
get fucked earth! if only we could lower the mpg more! /s
Hello Rene and Mike loved the video very cool house on wheels, also kind of cool we share the same last name
Those are nice. Would be fun to buy one and just live traveling to the National Parks and enjoy existing...
quad 450 4 by 4 is the base or your going commercial heavy dividing line. So that is the hard high weight limit even if u modify.
great!
This is so bad ass
Wow what an engineering team couple!
I have always thought van life is cool, but I think this is the only way I could realistically do it comfortably
This fun to survive with during zombie apocalypse. 😂
Earthroamer is soooo 2010 compared to these!! Nice work!!
Don’t think the world likes your comments any more😜
This is what’s needed in Jurassic park
I can only ever dream, or watch these videos...
And to put a a tv on the back also can it be done?
Waw what a luxury
And that DEF will be the Achilles heel
That dude on the guitar in the background is really going at it.
The dude in the video Mike Van Pelt is a dead ringer for Phillip Seymour Hoffman hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow🏆🥇
wow these are brilliant and I don;t even drive!
now you need a mold for your tires. probably easier to fabricate them from old discarded tires in the third world than find them unless of course you use the internet and get your packages sent to you. i know someone that kayaked the Alaska coastline from Ketchikan to Glacier Bay in an inflatable by having her supplies mailed to her General Delivery to each area Post Office. it works...
True story. I had just come off of Trailridge road in Estes Park and Rocky mountain NP in my 2007 Ram 3500 4x4 dually and saw a 1.5 million $ Earthroamer parked at the gas station convenience story in Estes Park. Guy just walked out of store with 1 gallon water bottle. I asked him what he was doing and he said brakes had overheated on Trailridge road. I asked him why a truck that expensive didn't have an exhaust brake. He said it did have an exhaust brake but still overheated the brakes. My 42,000.00 ram truck and 26,000.00 Lance 850 had no problem. My exhaust brake allowed me to hardly ever touch my brake peddle. Moral to the story is just because you have that kind of money doesn't necessarily mean you are cool because you can buy a rig that has problems doing pretty easy roads. Lol
Incredible vehicle ! Would be a dream come true . Being retired I would just GO and explore. Love watching videos of these trucks ...
158: he is the man, like hard core legit. God.
When the SHTF, these vehicles will be the first ones taken at gunpoint. Best to have a nice big property where this thing can be camouflaged.
Does anyone know what model of unimog that was based off?
Money money money!
MONEY!
