Thanks! With the camper on a tipper, the cab can tilt for easy engine service too 👍

You guys deserve way more subscribers! I first followed you because I want an RV with a rear deck just like yours (maybe not so big a truck for a single guy lol) - but now I really enjoy just watching a "normal" family doinh normal but fun things, in a lifestyle that avoids the damned rate race! PS - I HAVE to remember that drop-down bike rack! Safe and happy travels from a Kiwi.
@HouseTruckLife Ай бұрын
Thanks Gideon! A life outside the rate race is how we designed it 👍 Hoping to get some inspiration out for others to achieve the same! Glad you’re liking the vids, give us a like and share to help get the word out 😁

That won't come off! I remember a little while back the fuel cap fell off?? Now the awning being left out! Ah well, cest la vie. ...and that (Ado?) yeah, he's a bloody legend! I'd still choose your life over living in a 9-5 job any day guys! Happy travels 🙂

That deck is definitely a must! It just adds so much extra to the truck. I'm looking at horse trucks here in NZ, which I can adapat accordingly. I also want one side to slide out maybe a metre just to give that etra bit of room (I think I have mild claustrophobia lol). Am thoroughly enjoying your adventures family!

Hey guys - I must have a deck and porch in my future camper. This is my dream but way out of my budget! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpuqZnigi7BpgKM. But I reckon I could save a couple of years for something like what you've done! Kiwi Fan.
@HouseTruckLife 3 ай бұрын
A deck is a must! Those guys are great, but you can definitely do better. We kept everything automated by design. Watching that video, it takes them 10mins just to get the stairs out! If you’re planning a build, make sure you keep it easy and quick to set up because you won’t use it if it’s a struggle. I saw in one of their vids they had to run the truck to charge up their power 🤦♂️ We’re hoping to get a walk through vid up soon for more details - stay tuned!

We are looking at the big lap in a few years time when our girls are older and self sufficient (they are 15 and 18 years now and have travelled with us since they were 4 and 5 months old) so really keen to follow your adventures. We have travelled extensively but only for 2-3 months at a time so far due to life constraints. Big plans to change those constraints now though. Good luck with your trip, looking forward to following you and getting some tips.
