Carol's smile is all that needs to be mentioned😀 congratulations it's super super awesome 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏻
14:45 Instead of built-in lights, we use Black&Decker 20vdc square-base flashlights. . In our ExpeditionVehicle instead of built-in lights -- after sundown -- we go to bed.
We gave up jeep camping a few years ago for a truck camper and a ford f350 4x4, crew cab as well, we take our two TW 200 with a hitch mounts. We absolutely love it, not as fancy as yours but I am betting your going to love it. We find there is plenty of clearance to get off the beaten path and have the comfort of home! Welcome to the truck camper life, yours is a beauty. We went with a front bumper with three bars and backing. That plastic grill is 1k bumper was $700, hit a elk and it didn’t do any damage to us. PNW is where we live. Happy trails to you both. We love having the motorcycles to explore from camp and scout unknown roads.
11/20/23 - Love that new FORD Camper ! What a nice vehicle ! Hope it serves you well.
I knew it would be a Rossmonster Baja when in the last video you said you wanted a pass thru. You laid some coin out for that beauty. It will give you years of joy though. Enjoy!!
Induction cooktops are the way to go. I have used induction for years and do not regret one minute. In fact, my power bills are lower due to induction.
23:18 For water, we use five-gallon stainless-steel retired Pepsi kegs. Our standard load is seven, a total of thirty-five gallons. . With our massive GVWR, we have room for a dozen more. Advantage: * modular, * loanable to a caravan chum, * a keg can go to the picnic-table or campfire, * a couple-three kegs can go to town during errands for re-fill, while the others stay in-service in camp, * if one keg gets stanky, the others remain in-service, and can clean the problem-child. . In the toy-hauler I fabricated on a similar commercial chassis, we can carry a couple-three dozen more kegs. In theory, our duration without re-fill is about four months.
Two words come to mind"Bad Ass". Carol's smile is infectious.
That is a fantastic vehicle. God bless you on your new journeys!
Oh! This is a sign that you are getting older, when you seek comfort for your adventures. (Joking) Very nice ride, too bad it a Ford :o))))))) have fun with your new toy.
I’m getting older and thinking a lot about something like this vs my 4Runner, so it’s definitely not a joke…
20:32 We designed our ExpeditionVehicle with zero cabinets above waist-level. . We prefer the visual and visceral sense of openness. . An aside: We mounted our windows at our eye-level standing inside, about eight feet above pavement. . Looking through waist-level windows, the view would be a few meters/metres of dirt a few meters/metres from the rig.
18:48 This rig needs an Operation Manual. This rig also needs detailed Check Lists for camp set-up and prior-to-moving take-down. . On this rig, every thing and every body needs to be perfect each time. One 'over-look' or 'do-it-later', and the potential for destruction is significant. Opinion. . With the simplicity and resilience we built into our ExpeditionVehicle, everything is always ready. . And 'yes', I hope campers build instead of buy. The intimacy of designing home-built simple systems is irreplaceable.
That is a fantastic new rig!..I wish you and the family all the best of luck with it. Happy trails and thank you for taking us with you. God bless.
So happy for the two of you! 🎉 ENJOY! Following your adventures. Shalom! ☺️
All i can say is WOW. Everything I would want in a vehicle you have done. Congratulations. Same type of vehicle theme as " Truck House" uses but in a much more refined luxury design. Its easy to see why you have been so successful in life with the well thought out choices you have made through the years.
Thank you 🙏🏻

right on, right on! I've always loved rossmönster!! congratulations ❣
Reminds me of my in-laws. As soon as the last child left the nest, they completely remodeled their house (which had been unfinished for twenty years) got rid of two whole rooms of stuff they had been hoarding in the living room and basement. So before their four kids shared two bedrooms and an unfinished bathroom and now the parents had two band new bathrooms and extra living room, all new appliances an office and three bedrooms.
So excited to see your new ride/home! So cool!
Awesome. I’m so glad you decided to go with this type of build. Good luck with this and I can’t wait for the new adventure
I like the toy. Sounds like y'all got everything covered. Let the new adventures begin.

Congratulations EFRT
Congrats on your new toy. Very cool.
Good luck! Lots of gadgets!
@tree, 2003, after a half-century of make-do camping in lesser rigs, we built our ExpeditionVehicle. Minimum complexity, maximum resilience: * zero plumbing * one 12vdc cable for the interior * zero 120vac/240vac. . And somehow, we manage without an Entertainment Center, wine-chillers, electric fireplace.
I truly am happy for your family and all your success of living your dream. Best wishes on your new travel vehicle.
Excellent. My wife and I have been on a similar journey and we really appreciate all the research you have done. We have been trying to find the perfect mix of comfort and adventure. Last year we towed our Ford Raptor behind a 40' super C. They idea was the Super C was our base camp and we could do some off-roading in the truck (which also has a Go Fast Camper). This just proved to be too much and I hated driving the Super C. So we sold the Super C and bought a similar Mercedes C class that you have, great flexibility and drivability but we have lost our off road capabilities and the power required to tow our truck. I'll be watching with great curiosity how you make out with this new awesome rig. I hope I get to see it in person when you get back up to the cabin - hopefully I'll see it parked at Ramako's one day!
We’ll see you there. 👍🏻
Good morning!! Love the new rig guys! Looks amazing and should serve you well. Can't wait to see it in action! ❤
Thank you! Can't wait.
I love your new home , travel, and absolutely durable transportation you guys should be OK safety was definitely put in to this project building this travel truck. Hope you have a wonderful time. Love all you guys.❤
Thank you
Congratulations on your new Camper.I can't wait to see you on new chapter. I've been a big fan of the Rossmonter build.
